Maintenance and Transportation
Examining the Nozzle Check PatternExamine the nozzle check pattern after printing it. It should look something like this, with each of the six sections showing one of the ink colors:
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. If any dots are missing, as shown below, clean the print head again, as explained in the previous sections.

Caution:
To ensure good results, use genuine EPSON cartridges and do not refill them. Other products may cause damage to your printer not covered by EPSON’s warranty.
Replacing an Ink Cartridge
When a B black or A color ink out light flashes, the indicated cartridge is low on ink. This is a good time to make sure you have a new cartridge. When the light stays on, the cartridge is empty and you need to replace it. You cannot print if either ink cartridge is empty. You can also check your ink levels using the Status Monitor. See page
