Maintaining Your Product
Follow the instructions in this chapter to check and clean the print head nozzles, check ink
levels, and replace ink cartridges. If you need to align the print head, see the online User’s
Guide.
Caution: To keep your product looking like new, don’t place anything on top of the
cover or use it as a writing surface. If you need to clean the cover, use only a soft,
non-abrasive microfiber-type cloth.
Checking the Print Head Nozzles
If your printouts are faint or have gaps in them, some of the nozzles in the print head may
be clogged or ink may be running low in one or more of the ink cartridges. Follow the
steps below to check the print head nozzles.
1. Load a few sheets of plain paper in the lower paper cassette (cassette 2).
2. Press
if necessary, press l or r to select Setup, then press OK.
3. Press u or d to select Maintenance, press OK, select Nozzle Check, then press OK
again.
4. Press x. The nozzle check is printed.
5. Check the printed pattern to see if there are gaps in the lines:
Nozzles
are clean
Nozzles need
cleaning
6. If there are no gaps, the print head is clean. Select Done, then press OK.
If there are gaps or the pattern is faint, press u or d to select Clean the print head,
then press OK. Then follow the instructions on the screen to clean the print head (see
page 20).
Maintaining Your Product 19
Cleaning the Print Head
If print quality has declined and the nozzle check indicates clogged nozzles, you can clean
the print head. Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if necessary.
Note: You cannot clean the print head if an ink cartridge is expended, and may not be
able to clean it when a cartridge is low. You must replace the cartridge first (see
page 22).
1. Load a few sheets of plain paper in the lower paper cassette (cassette 2).
2. Press
if necessary, press l or r to select Setup, then press OK.
3. Press u or d to select Maintenance, press OK, select Head Cleaning, then press OK
again.
4. Press x.
Cleaning takes a few minutes. When it’s finished, you see a message on the display
screen.
Caution: Never turn off the printer during head cleaning or you may damage it. Do
not open the scanner unit or insert the CD/DVD tray during head cleaning.
5. Select Print nozzle check pattern, press OK, then press x to run a nozzle check and
confirm that the print head is clean.
6. If there are still gaps or lines, or the test patterns are faint, run another cleaning cycle
and check the nozzles again.
Note: If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning the print head four times, turn
off the printer and wait at least six hours to let any dried ink soften. Then try cleaning
the print head again. If quality does not improve, one of the ink cartridges may need to
be replaced. If that doesn’t help, contact Epson as described on page 31.
If you do not use your printer often, it is a good idea to print a few pages at least once a
month to maintain good print quality.
Checking Ink Levels
You can check the ink levels anytime right on the LCD screen. To check the ink levels with
your Windows or Mac OS X software, see the instructions in your online User’s Guide.
Note: You cannot print or copy when an ink cartridge is expended even if the other
cartridges are not expended. Replace any expended cartridges before printing or
copying.
1. Press
if necessary, press l or r to select Setup, then press OK.
2. Press OK again to select Ink Levels.
The ink cartridge status is displayed. See page 22 to replace a cartridge, if necessary.
20 Maintaining Your Product
3. Press OK to exit.

ink is low. This window can optionally display ink offers and other updates from Epson.
Note: To disable checking for ink offers or updates from Epson, see the instructions in
your online User’s Guide.
Purchasing EPSON Ink Cartridges
You can purchase genuine EPSON ink and paper from EPSON Supplies Central at
purchase supplies from an EPSON authorized reseller. To find the nearest one, call
800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766).
Use the following list when you order or purchase new ink cartridges (you can mix
Standard- and High-capacity cartridges):

Note: We recommend that you use genuine EPSON cartridges and do not refill them.
The use of other products may affect your print quality and could result in printer
damage.
Yields vary considerably based on images printed, print settings, paper type, frequency
of use, and temperature. Actual yields will be lower with higher-density images, hot or
dusty conditions, less frequent printing or printing predominantly with one color. All ink
colors are used for printing and all-in-one printer maintenance, and all colors have to be
installed for printing. For print quality, part of the ink from the included cartridges is
used for printer startup and a variable amount of ink remains in the cartridges after the
“replace cartridge” signal.
For best printing results, use up a cartridge within six months of opening the package,
and before the expiration date on the cartridge box.
Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. If cartridges have been exposed to cold
temperatures, allow them to warm up to room temperature for at least 3 hours before
using them.
Maintaining Your Product 21
Replacing Ink Cartridges
Make sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. You must install new cartridges
immediately after removing old ones.
Caution: Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink.
Cartridges are vacuum packed to maintain reliability.
Leave the expended cartridge installed until you have obtained a replacement, or the
ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.
Note: If you remove a low or expended ink cartridge, you cannot reinstall and use the
cartridge.
1. Turn on your product.
2. If an ink cartridge is expended, you see a message on the LCD screen indicating which
color to replace.
If you’re replacing a cartridge before you see a message on the LCD screen, select
Setup > Ink Levels > Cartridge Replacement.
Note: If a cartridge is expended, you must replace it to be able to print. If a
cartridge is low, you can continue printing until a cartridge needs replacement.
3. Lift up the scanner unit.
Caution: Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may damage your
product. Do not touch the flat white cable inside the printer.
22 Maintaining Your Product
4. Push in the blue tab to unlock the ink cartridge you are replacing. Then lift the
bottom of the ink cartridge to remove it.
Warning: If ink gets on your skin, wash it off thoroughly with soap and water. If it
gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If you still have discomfort or
vision problems, see a doctor immediately. Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of
children and don't allow them to drink the ink.
5. Recap the ink cartridge using the cap that came with it. Dispose of it carefully. Do not
take the used cartridge apart or try to refill it.
6. If you are replacing the Black (BK) ink cartridge, shake the new cartridge gently four
or five times before unwrapping it. You do not need to shake the Photo Black (PBK)
cartridge or any of the other color ink cartridges.
Maintaining Your Product 23
7. Open the new ink cartridge package.
Caution: Do not touch the areas shown above. Doing so may prevent normal
operation and printing.
Note: Do not shake cartridges after opening the package, as they may leak.
8. Remove the cap from the cartridge and store it in the included plastic bag for later
use.
9. Insert the ink cartridge head first into the ink cartridge holder. Then press the bottom
of the ink cartridge down until it clicks into place.
24 Maintaining Your Product
10. Once you replace all the cartridges that need replacing, close the scanner to begin
priming the ink. This takes a few minutes. When you see a completion message on
the LCD screen, ink priming is finished.
Caution: Never turn off your product while ink is priming or you’ll waste ink. If you
see an ink replacement message on the LCD screen, lift the scanner unit and press
down on all the cartridges firmly. If printing on a CD or DVD, do not insert the
CD/DVD tray until ink priming is finished.

Print Quality Problems
■
Load the paper printable side down (usually the whiter, brighter, or glossy side) in the
paper cassettes.
■
■
Make sure your paper isn’t damp or curled.
For the best print quality, use EPSON papers (see page 7) and genuine EPSON ink
cartridges (see page 21).
■
■
■
■
■
Make sure the type of paper you loaded matches the paper type setting on the touch
panel or in your printer software (see page 15).
If you notice light or dark bands across your printouts or they are too faint, run a
nozzle check (see page 19) to see if the print head needs cleaning.
If you notice jagged vertical lines, you may need to align the print head. See the online
User’s Guide for instructions.
The ink cartridges may be low on ink. Check your cartridge status and replace
cartridges, if necessary (see page 22).
Clean the scanner glass with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth (paper towels are not
recommended), or use a small amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth, if necessary. Do
not spray glass cleaner directly on the glass.

Avoid plugging the product into an outlet on the same circuit as a photocopier or air
conditioning system that regularly switches on and off, or on an outlet controlled by a wall
switch or timer.
■
Do not let the power cord become damaged or frayed. Place it to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying,
crimping, and kinking. Do not place objects on top of it and do not allow it to be stepped on or
run over. Be careful to keep the cord straight at each end. If damage occurs to the plug, replace
the cord or consult a qualified electrician. If there are fuses in the plug, make sure you replace
them with fuses of the correct size and rating.
■
■
If you use an extension cord with the product, make sure the total ampere rating of the devices
plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure the
total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s
ampere rating.
When connecting the product to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the correct
orientation of the connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a
