134Maintaining and Transporting the Printer
Performing a Power Cleaning
If you’re unable to clean the print head fully as described above, you can perform a power cleaning. You should not perform a power cleaning more often than necessary, since it consumes additional ink.
1.Press the SelecType button on the control panel. You see PRINTER SETUP.
2.Press u until you see MAINTENANCE, then press r. You see PWR CLEANING.
3.Press r until EXEC appears on the display, then press Enter.
The printer performs the power cleaning. Do not turn off the printer or interrupt this process until it is complete.
If the lines on the pattern are still missing dots after running a power cleaning, 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.
