Epson 1520 Printer User Manual


 
For Macintosh Users:
1. When cleaning the black print head, make sure the
Ink Out
light is off. When cleaning the color print head, make sure
the
Ink Out
light is off. If the corresponding light for
the print head you want to clean is on or flashing, see
“Replacing an Ink Cartridge” on Page 9-2.
2. Choose
Utility
from the Print dialog box as described in
Chapter 6.
3. Click the
Head Cleaning
button.
4. Follow the on-screen messages.
While the printer performs the cleaning cycle, the Pause light
flashes.
c
Caution:
Never turn off the printer while Pause light is flashing.
Doing so may damage the printer.
5. After finishing the cleaning, click the confirmation button in
the Head Cleaning dialog box, or print a few lines from a
document to confirm that the heads are clean and to reset
the cleaning cycle. See page 10-37 to see a sample of the
nozzle check pattern.
In the check pattern, if you find that any segments are missing
from the test lines, you may need to repeat the head cleaning
and print the nozzle check pattern again. If print quality hasn’t
improved after repeating this procedure four or five times, try
other recommendations listed in this chapter. If print quality
still has not improved, contact your dealer.
