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 on-screen Epson Information Center.

Load letter-size plain paper in the sheet feeder. 2. Press the Home button. 3. Press l or r to select Setup and 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 40). 1. Load letter-size plain paper in the sheet feeder. 2. Press the Home button. 3. Press l or r to select Setup and press OK. 4.
Checking the Ink Cartridge Status Your WorkForce 600 Series will let you know when an ink cartridge is low or expended by displaying a message on its display screen or your computer. You cannot print or copy when an ink cartridge is expended even if the other cartridges are not expended. Replace any expended cartridges before printing or copying. To check ink cartridge status from the display screen anytime, follow these steps: 1. Press the Home button. 2. Press l or r to select Setup and press OK. 3.
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. 1. Turn on the WorkForce 600 Series.
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. Shake the cartridge several times, then remove it from the package. Do not to touch the green chip on the side. 5.
Solving Problems Check the messages on the display screen to diagnose the cause of most problems. You can also check the basic troubleshooting suggestions (beginning below) or see the on-screen Epson Information Center for more detailed help. Checking for Software Updates Periodically, it’s a good idea to check Epson’s support website for free updates to your WorkForce 600 Series software.
Printing and Copying Problems ■ Make sure your paper is loaded printable side up (usually the whiter, brighter, or glossy side). Load it short edge first, and against the right edge guide. Don’t load paper above the arrow mark inside the guide. ■ Make sure the type of paper you loaded matches the paper size and paper type settings on the control panel when copying (see page 10), when faxing (see page 22), or in your printer software (see page 32).
3. If paper is stuck inside, press the P On button to turn off the printer. Then lift the scanner, remove the jammed paper and torn pieces, close the scanner, and turn the printer back on. If documents don’t feed correctly in the Automatic Document Feeder, make sure the corners of the paper are not bent, folded, or curled up. Do not load more than 10 sheets of legal-size paper at a time. If documents have jammed: 1. Open the ADF cover and pull any paper out to the left.
Faxing Problems ■ Make sure the recipient’s fax machine is turned on and working. ■ Make sure the LINE port on the WorkForce 600 Series is connected to a telephone wall jack. Verify that the telephone wall jack works by connecting a phone to it. ■ If the line has static, press the Home button and select Setup. Select Fax Setting and press OK, then select Communication and press OK. Turn off the V.34 and ECM (Error Correction Mode) settings.
