Maintaining Your Product

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, or replace the

maintenance box, see the online User’s Guide.

Checking the Print Head Nozzles

If your printouts are faint or have gaps in them, some of the nozzles in the print head may

be clogged or ink may be running low in one or more of the ink cartridges. Follow the

steps below to check the print head nozzles.

1. Load a few sheets of plain paper in the cassette.

4. Press one of the x

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

and confirm that the print head is clean.

Note: If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning the print head four times, leave

the product on and wait at least six hours to let any dried ink soften. Then try cleaning

the print head again. If quality does not improve, one of the ink cartridges may need to

be replaced. If that doesn’t help, contact Epson as described on page 28.

If you do not use your product often, it is a good idea to print a few pages at least once

a month to maintain good print quality.

If an ink cartridge is expended, you see a message on your printer’s LCD screen:

Note: 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

Purchasing Epson Ink Cartridges

You can purchase genuine Epson ink and paper at Epson Supplies Central 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).

Use the following list when you order or purchase new ink cartridges:

Note: We recommend that you use genuine Epson cartridges and do not refill them.

The use of other products may affect your print quality and could result in product

Yields vary considerably based on images printed, print settings, paper type, frequency

of use, and temperature. For print quality, a small amount of ink remains in the cartridge

after the “replace cartridge” indicator comes on. The included cartridges prime the

printer and print about 1000 black pages/900 color pages. Actual page count will vary.

For best printing results, use up a cartridge within six months of opening the package

and before the expiration date on the cartridge box.

Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. If cartridges have been exposed to cold

temperatures, allow them to warm up to room temperature for at least 3 hours before

Replacing Ink Cartridges

Make sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin.

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.

1. Turn on the product.

2. If an ink cartridge is expended, you see a message on

printing until a cartridge needs replacement.

3. Open the front cover.

4. Push in the ink cartridge that you want to replace, then pull it out as shown.

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 and don’t drink the ink.

5. Remove the new cartridge from its package.

Caution: Do not remove any other labels or seals, or ink will leak. Do not touch the

green chip on the side of the cartridge. This can damage the ink cartridge.22

Network Setup and Printing Problems

Try connecting to the router or access point with your computer or another device to

confirm that it is working correctly.

Try resetting the router (turn it off and then on), then try to connect to it again.

Print a Network Status Sheet (see page 24). Verify that the network settings are correct

and check the signal strength. If it’s poor, try moving the product closer to your router

or access point. Avoid placing it next to a microwave oven, 2.4 GHz cordless phone,

or large metal object such as a filing cabinet.

If your wireless router doesn’t broadcast its network name (SSID), see your online

User’s Guide for instructions on manually entering your wireless network name.

If your wireless router has security enabled, make sure you entered the WEP key or

WPA passphrase correctly.

When using TCP/IP, make sure your network’s DHCP option is enabled (your router

manufacturer or your IT department will be able to assist you with this setting).

Remove and reinsert the CD to reinstall your product software.

Disable the firewall temporarily to see if that may be causing the problem. Contact

your firewall manufacturer for assistance.

Make sure your firewall or security software is not set to block port 3629 (TCP/

UDP). Contact your firewall manufacturer for assistance.24

that the telephone wall jack works by connecting a phone to it.

Make sure the light is turned on to receive faxes automatically.

If you use a voicemail service, you should turn off Auto Answer. Otherwise, calls or

faxes may be inadvertently received by your voicemail.

If the line has static, press

(Error Correction Mode) settings.

If the product is connected to a DSL phone line, you must have a DSL filter

connected to the phone jack. Contact your DSL provider for the filter.

If you connected a telephone or answering machine, make sure it is connected to the

port. Do not use a phone line splitter.

Print Quality Problems

Make sure your paper is loaded printable side down (usually the whiter or brighter

side) in the cassette (or printable side up in the rear MP tray).

For the best print quality, use Epson papers (see page 3) and genuine Epson ink

cartridges (see page 21).

Make sure the paper type setting on the control panel or in your printer software

matches the type of paper loaded in the printer (see page 9).

If you notice light or dark bands across your printouts or they are too faint, run a

nozzle check (see page 18) to see if the print head needs cleaning.

If you notice jagged vertical lines, you may need to align the print head. See the online

User’s Guide for instructions.28

The ink cartridges may be low on ink. Check your cartridge levels (see page 19) and

replace cartridges, if necessary (see page 21).

Clean the scanner glass with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth (paper towels are not

recommended), or use a small amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth, if necessary. Do

not spray glass cleaner directly on the glass.
