After you clean the print heads, turn off the printer; then hold down the Cleaning O button as you turn the printer back on. (Continue holding it down for a few seconds after turning on the printer.) This prints a demonstration page so you can see if your print quality has improved. If the print quality is not improved, repeat the cleaning cycle. (Be sure to always print at least a few lines between cleaning cycles to reset the printer’s cleaning mechanism.)
If the print quality does not improve after you clean the print heads three times (printing a demonstration page to check after each cleaning), and you are sure the cartridges are not low on or out of ink (as described in the next section), contact your dealer or authorized EPSON servicer.
Replacing Ink Cartridges
The printer’s Ink Out O (black) and Ink Out N N N (color) lights tell you when your ink cartridges are low on ink and when you need to replace them. If one of these lights flashes, the indicated cartridge is low on ink; if it remains on, you need to replace the cartridge.
Do not replace an ink cartridge unless its Ink Out light tells you to. If you replace a cartridge before its light flashes, the ink sensor will not work with the new cartridge.
c Caution:
❑Leave the old cartridge installed in the printer until you are ready to replace it with a new one. Attempting to print without a cartridge installed can damage the printer.
❑If you need to replace a cartridge in the middle of a print job, you must turn off your printer and then turn it back on. This erases the data received by the printer and you must resend your print job.
