It’s easy to keep your EPSON Stylus COLOR 600 printer
working at its best. Just follow the simple instructions in this
chapter for replacing ink cartridges, moving the printer, and
performing routine maintenance.
This chapter covers the following procedures:
◗ Cleaning the print heads
◗ Replacing an ink cartridge
◗ Aligning the print heads
◗ Cleaning the printer
◗ Transporting the printer
Cleaning the Print Heads
If your printed image is unexpectedly light or faint, or dots are
missing from the image, you may need to clean the print heads.
This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly.
Cleaning the print heads uses ink, so clean them only if print
quality declines. You can use either of the following to clean the
print heads:
◗ The Head Cleaning utility in your printer software
◗ The printer’s control panel buttons.
