Checking the Print Head Nozzles
You can run a nozzle check to see if the print head needs cleaning. Follow the
instructions below.
Before you check the print head nozzles, make sure the CD/DVD tray is not
inserted in the printer.
1. Make sure the printer is turned on but not printing, and the red H ink light is
not on. (If the red H ink light is on, you need to replace a cartridge; see
page 46 for details.)
2. Make sure letter-size plain paper is loaded in the printer.
3. Windows: Right-click the printer icon on your taskbar (in the lower right
corner of your screen). Select
Nozzle Check.
Macintosh: Open the
Applications folder and select EPSON Printer
