Maintaining and Transporting the Printer | 6-3 Caution To avoid damaging the printer, don't turn it off until the cleaning cycle is finished and the Pause light has stopped flashing. 6. Click the Head Cleaning button and follow the instructions on the screen to clean the print head. Cleaning takes about 60 seconds, during which the printer makes some noise and the Pause light flashes. 7. When the Pause light goes off, make sure paper is loaded in the printer, then: Macintosh: Click Confirmation, then click Next. Windows: Click Print nozzle check pattern, then click Print. The nozzle check pattern prints (see the next section for details). 8. If the nozzle check pattern has no gaps in its dots, click Finish. If the pattern is missing dots, click Clean to clean the print head again. If you don't see any improvement after cleaning three or four times, check the solutions in "Improving Print Quality" on page 7-2. If the lines on the pattern still appear broken after several cleaning cycles, turn the printer off and leave it overnight, then clean the print head again the following morning. If you still see no improvement, contact EPSON for assistance. Examining the Nozzle Check Pattern Examine the nozzle check pattern you print. Each staggered horizontal and straight vertical line should be complete, with no gaps in the dot pattern. If dots are missing from the pattern, as shown below, clean the print head again. 6-3
