Maintaining and Transporting the Printer
Running a Power Cleaning Cycle
You can run a power cleaning cycle from the control panel if the normal
cleaning process is not sufficient to clear the nozzles. However, the power
cycle uses a large quantity of ink, so it is recommended only as a last resort.
The cartridges need to be at least 50% full to use power cleaning. You may
need to replace a low cartridge to run the cleaning cycle. After cleaning, you
can reinsert the old cartridge.
1.
Print a nozzle check to make sure the print head needs cleaning, as
described on page 100.
2.
Make sure the printer is ready and the red
B
ink light is not on or
flashing.
3.
Press the
Menu

button.
4.
Press

is highlighted, then press
r
.
5.

d
to select
POWER CLEANING
, then press

Enter button to start the power cleaning.
7.
When cleaning is finished and the
P

the nozzle check again to confirm that the head is clean.
For effective cleaning, always run a nozzle check between cycles.
If the pattern is still missing segments after a few power cleaning cycles, turn
off the printer and let it sit overnight. Then clean the print head again the
following morning with regular cleaning cycles. If you still see no
improvement, contact Epson for assistance.
