8.When the Pause light goes off, make sure paper is loaded in the printer, then:
Macintosh: Click Confirmation, then click Next.
Windows: Click Print nozzle check pattern, then click Print. The nozzle check pattern prints again.
9.If the nozzle check pattern prints correctly, click Finish, then continue on to “Aligning the Print Head” on page
If the pattern is still incorrect, click Clean to clean the print head again. It may take several cleaning cycles to clean the print head fully.
If the lines on the pattern still appear broken after several cleaning cycles, turn the printer off and leave it overnight, then clean the print head again the following morning. If you still see no improvement, contact EPSON for assistance.
