Epson Stylus 200 Printer User Manual


 
5.5.1.3 Performing the CL operation for 2 ~ 3 times
This section describes the cleaning operation if you find a print missing on the 360-DPI check pattern. You
need a confirmation either the CL opeartion is correctly performed or not in this function..
[Step1] Perform the CL operation. (Under the pause state, pressing the Clening button)
[Step2] Pay attention to the sponge in the cap either the ink is correctly supplied or not ( In case of color
head installed, the color of YMC becomes clear from the right side. In case of black head installed,
the sponge becomes black evenly.)
[Step3] If an ink is not correctly supplied, check the under items before you advance to next step
before going to the next step on the main flow chart.
Observing the cap from above, make sure there are not any bents , holes or scars on the surface.
Note:
If you can not find any problems about the pump unit system or the above contents, there
is a possibility that an ink in the ink cartridge has already emptied in spite of any counter
values, so that it is necessary to replace to the brand-new ink cartridge Also, if user
perform removing or installing with the same ink cartridge, it will not recover the
dot-missing every time you perform the CL operation, because the constructure of the
print head is very complex as compair to previous head system. Therefore, replace to the
brand-new ink cartridge at this time.
