Epson 1000 All in One Printer User Manual


 
Cleaning the print head
If print quality diminishes, use the printer’s built-in print-head
cleaning cycle to ensure the nozzles are delivering ink
properly. To avoid wasting ink, clean the print head only if
print quality declines.
Follow these steps:
1.
Make sure the printer is turned on and the
PAUSE
light is on.
If the
PAUSE
light is not on, press the
PAUSE
button to
pause the printer.
2.
Hold down the
ALT
button and press the
PAUSE
button for
two seconds.
The cleaning cycle takes about
40
seconds. The
PAUSE
light
flashes throughout the cycle and then stays on when
the
cleaning cycle is finished.
3.
Press the
PAUSE
button to resume printing.
Cleaning
the printer
To keep your printer operating at its best, you should clean it
thoroughly several times a year.
Before you clean the printer, make sure the printer is turned off
and remove any paper.
Use a soft brush to carefully brush away all dust and dirt.
To clean the outer case, use a soft, clean cloth dampened with
mild detergent. Keep the printer cover closed to prevent water
from getting inside the printer.
If the inside of the printer accidentally gets soiled with ink,
wipe it off with a damp cloth.
