Examining the Nozzle Check Pattern
Examine the nozzle check pattern you print. Each staggered horizontal and straight vertical line should be complete, with no gaps in the dot pattern. If your printout looks okay, you’re done.
missing dots
If any dots are missing (as shown), clean the print head again; see page 35 for instructions.
Replacing an Ink Cartridge
When the b error light flashes, an ink cartridge is low on ink. This is a good time to make sure you have a new cartridge. When the b error light stays on, a cartridge is empty and you need to replace it.
The b error light also comes on if you have a paper jam, so make sure you check for that before replacing a cartridge.
When an installed cartridge is more than six months old, you may need to replace it if printouts don’t look their best. If the quality doesn’t improve after cleaning and aligning the print head, you can replace the cartridge even if the b error light is off.
Use these EPSON ink cartridges within six months of installing them and before the expiration date on the package:
■Black ink cartridge: T007201 (U.S.) T007311 (Canada)
■Color ink cartridge: T008201 (U.S.) T008311 (Canada)
To ensure good results, use genuine EPSON ink cartridges and do not refill them. Other products may cause damage to your printer not covered by EPSON’s warranty.
