pull off the blue portion or try to remove the clear seal  
underneath the cartridge.  
Paper Loading and Handling Guidelines  
The following tips help you get the best results:  
Always load the printable side (the whiter and brighter side)  
face up. Some special papers come with a cut corner to help  
you load them correctly.  
Load letterhead or preprinted paper so the top of the paper  
feeds into the printer first.  
Don’t load paper above the arrow on the left edge guide.  
You can load up to 20 sheets of Photo Paper,  
30 transparencies, and 30 Photo Quality Ink Jet Cards.  
For Photo Quality Ink Jet Paper, you can load up to the  
arrow mark on the left edge guide.  
Note:  
Use a support sheet if you find it in the paper package.  
If you have an automatic document feeder, remove it from the  
EPSON Stylus Scan, but don’t disconnect it from the option  
interface.  
Return unused paper to the original package as soon as you  
finish printing.  
3. Make sure the EPSON Stylus Scan is turned on and not  
printing. Open the document cover, and then open the  
maintenance cover. The internal cover opens automatically.  
Replacing an Ink Cartridge  
When you’re low on ink or one of the cartridges is empty,  
you’ll see a message on the LCD status display panel. It’s a  
good idea to keep new cartridges on hand, since you can’t  
print if either ink cartridge is empty.

4. Press the R cleaning button and hold it for about three  
seconds until the print head moves left and the Operate  
light begins flashing.  
If you need to replace an ink cartridge before you see a  
message (because the ink is too old, for example) follow the  
instructions in “Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge” on  
page 9.  
Caution:  
Don’t open the clamp or remove a cartridge except to replace it  
with a new one. Once you remove a cartridge, you can’t reuse  
it, even if it contains ink.  
Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges  
You can replace a cartridge whenever you see a message that  
the cartridge is low on ink or empty. (If you press the R  
cleaning button before you see a message, the EPSON  
Stylus Scan cleans the print head, as described on page 9.  
Follow these steps:  
Also, never move the print head by hand.  
1. Remove the new ink cartridge from its package.  
Caution:  
You must remove the yellow tape from the top of the cartridge  
or you will permanently damage it. Do not remove the clear  
seal from the bottom of the cartridge, or ink will leak out.

5. Pull up the ink cartridge clamp. The cartridge rises up from  
its holder.  
Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge  
Even if you don’t see a message that a cartridge is low on ink  
or empty, you may need to replace it if it’s more than six  
months old. If your printouts don’t look as good as they used  
to, try cleaning and aligning the print head first. If print  
quality doesn’t improve, try replacing one or both cartridges.  
Follow these steps to replace an ink cartridge before you see a  
message on the LCD status display panel:  
1. Prepare your new ink cartridge for installation as described  
in “Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges” on page 8.  
2. Make sure the EPSON Stylus Scan is turned on and not  
printing. Then open the document and maintenance  
covers.  
Warning:  
If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and  
water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with  
water.  
3. Press the E load/eject button and hold it down for about  
three seconds until the print head moves left. The Operate  
light begins flashing.  
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.  
4. Remove the old ink cartridge and install the new cartridge  
as described in “Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges”  
on page 8. Don’t press the R cleaning button, however.  
6. Lift the cartridge out of the EPSON Stylus Scan and  
dispose of it carefully.

E load/eject button.  
Caution:  
To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print head by  
hand.  
8. Press down the ink cartridge clamp until it locks in place.  
The EPSON Stylus Scan moves the print head and begins  
charging the ink delivery system. The Operate light flashes  
and the printer makes various sounds. Charging takes about  
60 seconds. When it’s finished, the Operate light stops  
flashing and stays on.  
Cleaning the Print Head  
If your printouts are light or have gaps in the image, you may  
need to clean the print head. This unclogs the nozzles so they  
can deliver ink properly.  
9. If you need to replace the other ink cartridge, repeat the  
preceding steps before going on to step 10.  
Cleaning the print head uses ink, so clean it only if print  
quality declines. You can clean the print head using either:  
10. Close the maintenance and document covers, and then  
press the R cleaning button.

2. Start an application and open a document. Access the  
printer settings dialog box.  
Examining the Nozzle Check Pattern  
Examine the nozzle check pattern you print. It should look  
something like this (the upper pattern should be black; the  
lower section is divided into blue, red, and yellow sections):  
3. Click the Utility tab (Windows) or the  
Utility icon  
(Macintosh). You see the Utility menu.  
4. Click the Head Cleaning icon. Follow the instructions  
on the screen to print a test page.  
5. Follow the instructions on the screen to clean the  
print head.  
Caution:  
Never turn off the EPSON Stylus Scan while the Operate light  
is flashing, unless it hasn’t moved or made any noise for more  
than 5 minutes.  
Cleaning takes a couple minutes, during which the EPSON  
Stylus Scan makes some noise and the Operate light  
flashes. When the Operate light stops flashing, continue  
with the next step.  
Each staggered horizontal and straight vertical line should be  
complete, with no gaps in the dot pattern. If your printout  
looks okay, you’re done. If any dots are missing, as shown  
below, clean the print head again.  
6. Make sure paper is loaded in the EPSON Stylus Scan and  
click Print nozzle check pattern (Windows) or  
Confirmation (Macintosh). The nozzle check pattern  
prints. (See page 10 for details.)

7. If the nozzle check pattern is complete, click Finish.  
If the pattern is missing dots, click Clean to run another  
cleaning cycle.  
Using the Control Panel to Clean the Print  
Head

printing. Also, make sure that there’s no ink out message on  
the LCD status display panel.  
Aligning the Print Head  
Caution:  
2. Press the R cleaning button and hold it down for three  
seconds. Cleaning takes a couple minutes, during which the  
EPSON Stylus Scan makes some noise and the Operate  
light flashes.  
Load paper that’s at least letter-size width to prevent ink from  
spraying inside the EPSON Stylus Scan and smudging your  
printouts. For best results, load EPSON ink jet paper whenever you  
check the print head alignment.  
3. After the Operate light stops flashing, start an application  
and open a document. If you’re connected directly to the  
EPSON Stylus Scan, continue with step 4.  
If your printouts contain vertical bands or crooked vertical  
lines, you may need to use the Print Head Alignment utility in  
your printer software. Your EPSON Stylus Scan must be  
connected directly to a local port, not over a network, to use  
this utility. Follow these steps:  
If you’re on a network, print the document. Then go to
