Running a Cleaning Cycle
If your printouts are light or have gaps in the image, you may need to run a cleaning cycle. This unclogs the print head nozzles so they can deliver ink properly.
The cleaning process uses ink, so you should run it only if you’re not getting good print quality. You can run the cleaning cycle using either:
■The Head Cleaning utility (with your EPSON Stylus Scan connected to a local port, not over a network)
■The control panel buttons on the EPSON Stylus Scan
