Maintaining Your Product Follow the instructions in this chapter to check and clean the print head nozzles, check ink levels, and replace ink cartridges. If you need to align the print head, see the online User’s Guide. Caution: To keep your product looking like new, don’t place anything on top of the cover or use it as a writing surface. If you need to clean the cover, use only a soft, non-abrasive microfiber-type cloth.
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 22). 1. Load a few sheets of plain paper in the lower paper cassette (cassette 2). 2. Press 3.
3. Press OK to exit. In Windows, a window may appear on your computer screen when you try to print when ink is low. This window can optionally display ink offers and other updates from Epson. Note: To disable checking for ink offers or updates from Epson, see the instructions in your online User’s Guide. Purchasing EPSON Ink Cartridges You can purchase genuine EPSON ink and paper from EPSON Supplies Central at www.epson.com/ink3 (U.S. sales) or www.epson.ca (Canadian sales).
Replacing Ink Cartridges Make sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. You must install new cartridges immediately after removing 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 installed until you have obtained a replacement, or the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.
4. Push in the blue tab to unlock the ink cartridge you are replacing. Then lift the bottom of the ink cartridge to remove it. Warning: If ink gets on your skin, wash it off thoroughly with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If you still have discomfort or vision problems, see a doctor immediately. Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and don't allow them to drink the ink. 5. Recap the ink cartridge using the cap that came with it.
7. Open the new ink cartridge package. Caution: Do not touch the areas shown above. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing. Note: Do not shake cartridges after opening the package, as they may leak. 8. Remove the cap from the cartridge and store it in the included plastic bag for later use. 9. Insert the ink cartridge head first into the ink cartridge holder. Then press the bottom of the ink cartridge down until it clicks into place.
10. Once you replace all the cartridges that need replacing, close the scanner to begin priming the ink. This takes a few minutes. When you see a completion message on the LCD screen, ink priming is finished. Caution: Never turn off your product while ink is priming or you’ll waste ink. If you see an ink replacement message on the LCD screen, lift the scanner unit and press down on all the cartridges firmly. If printing on a CD or DVD, do not insert the CD/DVD tray until ink priming is finished.
Solving Problems If you have a problem with your EPSON product, check the messages on the LCD screen to diagnose the cause of most problems. Press if necessary, press l or r to select Help, then press OK. Press u or d to select Troubleshooting, then press OK to see all the help topics.

Paper Feeding Problems ■ If paper doesn’t feed correctly, remove the paper and fan the sheets, then reload them as shown on page 4. Make sure paper is loaded under the edge guides. ■ Do not load more than the recommended number of sheets. See your online User’s Guide for information on paper loading capacity. ■ If paper has jammed, follow the steps on the LCD screen. If necessary, check the following areas: 1. Lift the scanner unit and carefully remove any paper trapped inside. 2.

Print Quality Problems ■ Load the paper printable side down (usually the whiter, brighter, or glossy side) in the paper cassettes. ■ Make sure your paper isn’t damp or curled. ■ For the best print quality, use EPSON papers (see page 7) and genuine EPSON ink cartridges (see page 21). ■ Make sure the type of paper you loaded matches the paper type setting on the touch panel or in your printer software (see page 15).
