Cleaning the Print Head Using the Product Buttons
You can clean the print head using the buttons on your product.
1. Make sure no product lights are indicating errors.
2. Load a few sheets of plain paper in the product.
3. Hold down the stop button for five seconds to start the cleaning cycle.
The power light flashes throughout the cleaning cycle and stays on when the cleaning cycle is
finished.
Caution: Never turn off the product during a cleaning cycle or you may damage it.
4. Run a nozzle check to confirm that the print head is clean.
5. Do one of the following:
• If there are no gaps, the print head is clean and you can continue printing.
• If there are gaps or the pattern is faint, clean the print head.
If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning the print head up to 3 times, turn off the product and wait
at least 12 hours. Then try cleaning the print head again. If quality still does not improve, run a Power
Cleaning. If there is still no improvement, contact Epson support.
