38 Printing with Mac OS X
EPSON StatusMonitor
This utility provides information about the ink cartridges and the maintenance
tank, as well as the printer’s status.
Nozzle Check
This utility checks the print head nozzles for clogging. Check the nozzles
when you notice that print quality has declined and after cleaning the print
head to confirm that the nozzles have been cleared. See "Checking the print
head nozzles" on page 39.
If you click Auto in the Nozzle Check dialog, or select ON as the AUTO
CLEANING setting of the printer’s control panel, this utility not only checks the
clogging nozzles, but also cleans the print head automatically.
Head Cleaning
Use this utility to clean the print head. You may need to clean the print head if
you notice that print quality has declined. See "Cleaning the print head" on
page 40.
Print Head Alignment
Use this utility to improve the quality of your printed images. For example, if
vertical lines appear out of alignment or if white or black vertical banding
appears in your printed images, you can use this utility to realign the print
head. See "Aligning the print head" on page 41.
