If print quality has declined and the nozzle check pattern indicates clogged nozzles, you can clean the
print head.
Note: You cannot clean the print head if the ink level has reached the lower line on the ink tank, and may
not be able to clean it when the ink level in the tank is low. You must refill the ink tank first.

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 paper cassette.
3. Hold down the stop button for 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 or open the printer cover during a cleaning cycle or you may not
be able to print.
4. Run a nozzle check to confirm that the print head is clean.
If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning the print head up to 3 times, turn off the product and wait
at least six 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.
