Note:
To maintain print quality, we recommend turning on the EPSON
Stylus Scan for at least one minute every month.
For Macintosh users
1. Make sure that the EPSON Stylus Scan is on, and the
B
black
and
A
color ink out lights are off.
2. Click the Utility icon button in the Print or Page Setup
dialog box, then click the
Head Cleaning
button.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
The
P
power light flashes while the Stylus Scan performs the
cleaning cycle. The cycle takes about one minute to complete.
c
Caution:
Never turn off the Stylus Scan while the
P
power light is
flashing. Doing so may damage the Stylus Scan.
4. When the
P
power light stops flashing, click the
Confirmation
button in the Head Cleaning dialog box to
print a nozzle check pattern and to reset the cleaning cycle.
Use the check pattern to confirm that the head is clean.
If print quality has not improved after repeating this procedure
four or five times, turn the Stylus Scan off and leave it alone
overnight. Then try the head cleaning again.
If the print quality still has not improved, one or both of your ink
cartridges may be old or damaged and may need to be replaced.
To replace an ink cartridge before it is empty, see “Replacing an
Old or Damaged Ink Cartridge” on page 10-11.
If print quality remains a problem after replacing the ink
cartridges, contact your dealer.
