10.Make sure the Power light is no longer flashing, then close the printer cover.
To maintain optimum print quality, the printer periodically performs a cleaning cycle on the print heads. You may notice the cleaning cycle being performed when the printer has been on for awhile without being used or when you turn it on after it has been off for awhile.
You may need to manually activate a cleaning cycle if you notice a decline in print quality; see Chapter 6.
The number of pages you can print with a single cartridge depends on the amount of text and color graphics you print. You need to replace an ink cartridge when the Ink out O or Ink out N N N lights are flashing or remain on. See Chapter 6 for instructions.
Caution:
c When you need to replace ink cartridges, be sure to use only genuine EPSON ink cartridges and do not refill them. Other products may cause damage not covered by EPSON’s warranty.
