Maintaining Your All-in-One Follow the steps here to check and clean the print head, and replace ink cartridges. To align the print head, if necessary, see the online Epson Information Center. Checking the Print Head Nozzles If your printouts are faint or have gaps in them, the print head nozzles may be clogged. Follow these steps to check the print head nozzles: 1. Load letter- or A4-size plain paper in the main paper tray. 2. Press the Home button. 3. Press l or r to select Setup, then press OK. 4.
Cleaning the Print Head If print quality has declined and the nozzle check indicates clogged nozzles, you can clean the print head. Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if necessary. Note: You cannot clean the print head if an ink cartridge is expended, and may not be able to clean it when a cartridge is low. You must replace the cartridge first (see page 41). 1. Load letter- or A4-size plain paper in the main paper tray. 2. Press the Home button. 3. Press l or r to select Setup, then press OK.
Checking the Ink Cartridge Status Your Artisan 710 Series will let you know when an ink cartridge is low or expended by displaying a message on its screen or on your computer. You cannot print or copy when an ink cartridge is expended even if the other cartridges are not expended (but you can still scan and view photos on the display screen). Replace any expended cartridges before printing or copying. To check ink cartridge status from the display screen anytime, follow these steps: 1.
Purchasing Epson Ink Cartridges You can purchase genuine Epson ink and paper at Epson Supplies CentralSM at www.epson.com/ink3 (U.S. sales) or www.epson.ca (Canadian sales). You can also purchase supplies from an Epson authorized reseller. To find the nearest one, call 800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766).
Replacing Ink Cartridges Make sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. You must install new cartridges immediately after removing the old ones. Caution: Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges are vacuum packed to maintain reliability. Leave the expended cartridge(s) installed until you have obtained a replacement, or the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out. If you remove a low or expended cartridge, you cannot reinstall and use it.
3. Squeeze the tab on the cartridge and lift it straight up. Dispose of it carefully. Do not take the used cartridge apart or try to refill it. Warning: If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. 4. Remove the cartridge from the package. Do not touch the green chip on the side. 5. Remove the yellow tape from the bottom of the cartridge.
Solving Problems Check the messages on the display screen to diagnose the cause of most problems. Press the Home button, if necessary, then press l or r to select Problem Solver. Press OK, then press u or d to see all the help topics. You can also check the basic troubleshooting suggestions starting on page 44 or see the online Epson Information Center for more detailed help.
Problems and Solutions You can often solve problems by checking the messages on the display screen. If the information doesn’t help you solve the problem, check the solutions below. Note: If the screen is dark, press any button to wake the printer from sleep mode. Printing and Copying Problems ■ Make sure your paper is loaded printable side down (usually the whiter, brighter, or glossy side). Don’t load paper above the edge guides.
2. Pull back on the tabs to remove the cover inside the Artisan 710 Series. Then remove the paper as shown, including any torn pieces. 3. Reattach the cover and close the scanner. 4. You may also need to check other locations for jammed paper, such as the auto duplexer, the paper cassette, and underneath the printer. See the online Epson Information Center for more information.
