86 Printing with Windows
Using the Printer Utilities
The Epson printer utilities let you check the printer’s status and perform printer
maintenance from your computer.
Note:
❏ The letter in parentheses after the utility name indicates the shortcut key for that
utility. Press ALT and the letter on the keyboard to open that utility.
❏ Do not use the Nozzle Check, Head Cleaning, or Print Head Alignment utilities
while printing is in progress; otherwise, your printout may be marred.
Nozzle Check
This utility checks the print head nozzles for clogging. Check the nozzles
when you notice the print quality has declined, when you are experiencing
horizontal banding, and after cleaning the print head to confirm that the print
head nozzles have been cleaned. See "Checking the print head nozzles" on
page 88.
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.
