Maintenance This section gives you basic maintenance instructions and tells you how to transport your EPSON 1000 ICS safely. Cleaning the Print Head If your printouts are unexpectedly light, or dots or lines are missing, you may need to clean the print head. This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly. Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if quality declines. When you don’t turn on your EPSON 1000 ICS for a long time, the print quality can decline.
3. When the P Operate light stops flashing, run a nozzle check to confirm the print head nozzles are clean: make sure paper is loaded in the EPSON 1000 ICS and press the left Menu button several times until you see Nozzle Check, and then press the x Copy button. The nozzle check pattern prints. 4. Examine the nozzle check pattern you print. It should look something like this: Each staggered horizontal and straight vertical line should be complete, with no gaps in the dot pattern.
2. Press the left Menu button on the control panel several times until you see Print Head Alignment and then press the x Copy button to print a test page. B&W Scan Clear Clear all(3sec.)

You may need to use a magnifying glass or loupe. Select one pattern each for rows 1, 2, and 3. 4.
Checking the Ink Supply To check your ink supply, do one of the following: ■ ■ Press one of the Menu buttons on the EPSON 1000 ICS control panel several times until you see Ink Levels. This gives you an approximate percentage of ink remaining in each cartridge. Clear Clear all(3sec.) Menu Copies Value Menu buttons In Windows, double-click the printer icon on your taskbar (in the lower right corner of your screen).
Ink Cartridge Precautions Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink. If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them thoroughly with water. To avoid damaging the EPSON 1000 ICS, never move the print head by hand. You cannot print if either ink cartridge is empty. Leave the empty cartridge installed in the EPSON 1000 ICS until you have obtained a replacement.
4. Pull up the ink cartridge clamp. (The color cartridge is on the right and the black is on the left.) The cartridge rises up from its holder. 5. Lift the cartridge out of the EPSON 1000 ICS and dispose of it carefully. 6. Unwrap the new ink cartridge. Then remove only the yellow tape seal on top. You must remove the yellow tape from the top of the cartridge or you will permanently damage it. Don’t touch the green circuit board on the back of the cartridge; you may inhibit normal operation and printing.
8. Press down firmly on the ink cartridge clamp until it snaps in place. If you need to replace the other ink cartridge, repeat steps 4 through 8 before continuing with step 9. 9. Carefully lower the scanner and press it down until it clicks into place. Press the x Copy button. The EPSON 1000 ICS begins charging the ink delivery system. The P Operate light flashes and the EPSON 1000 ICS makes noise. Charging takes about half a minute.

Paper towels are not recommended for cleaning the glass.
Transporting the EPSON 1000 ICS If you move your EPSON 1000 ICS some distance, you need to prepare it for transportation in its original box or one of a similar size. To avoid damage, always leave the ink cartridges installed when transporting the EPSON 1000 ICS. 1. Press the P Operate button to turn on the EPSON 1000 ICS and wait until the scanner carriage moves to the home position (toward the left side) and the print head locks in the far right position, then turn it back off. 2.
Be sure to remove the tape and packing insert after installing the EPSON 1000 ICS in its new location. 6. Slide the transportation lock right to the locked position. 7. Push the scanner down carefully until it clicks back into place, then close the output tray. 8. Repack the EPSON 1000 ICS and its attachments in the original box using the protective materials that came with them. Keep the EPSON 1000 ICS level as you transport it.

Make sure letter-size or larger paper is loaded in the sheet feeder. 2. Press the left Menu button on the control panel until you see Nozzle Check. 3. Press the x Copy button. If the check page prints, the problem probably lies in your software settings, the interface cable, or your computer.
You cancelled the software installation before it was complete, or you connected the EPSON 1000 ICS before starting the software installation. Your EPSON software may be incorrectly installed. See page 48 to uninstall your software. Make sure you follow the steps on your Start Here poster carefully when you reinstall your software. You need to connect the EPSON 1000 ICS at the correct time during installation so that it is detected by the driver. You’re having problems installing the software.
It sounds like the EPSON 1000 ICS is printing, but nothing prints. Make sure the print head nozzles are not clogged. To clean the print head, see page 25. Your EPSON 1000 ICS makes noise when you turn it on or after it has been sitting for a while. Your EPSON 1000 ICS is performing routine maintenance. Printing or copying is too slow. Make sure your system meets the requirements listed on page 51. If you’re printing a high-resolution image, you need more than the minimum requirements listed.
Scanning Problems Your system doesn’t recognize the EPSON 1000 ICS. Make sure your EPSON 1000 ICS is connected to your computer and plugged into a power source. The fluorescent lamp isn’t on. ■ The EPSON 1000 ICS has a power saving function (sleep mode); it comes on when you start scanning. ■ Make sure the EPSON 1000 ICS is plugged into a power outlet. ■ Wait until the fluorescent lamp stays on (ready for scanning). You may need to preview your scan to make the lamp come on.
Problems with Paper Feeding Too many copies are printing. Make sure that neither the Copies setting in your printer software, nor the Copies setting in your application is set for multiple copies. Paper doesn’t eject fully or is wrinkled. ■ If the paper doesn’t eject fully, you may have set the wrong paper size. Press the x Copy button to eject the paper. Then select the correct paper size in your application or printer software. ■ If it’s wrinkled when it ejects, the paper may be damp or too thin.
Print Quality Problems You see banding (light lines). Your printout is blurry or smeared. Your printout is grainy. 44 Problems and Solutions ■ The print head nozzles may need cleaning; see page 25 for instructions. ■ Make sure the Media Type setting matches the paper you loaded. See page 16 for guidelines. ■ Make sure the printable side of the paper is face-up. It is usually whiter or shinier. ■ The ink cartridges may be old or low on ink.
