Checking and Cleaning the Print Head
You can check and clean the print head nozzles automatically using the Auto
Nozzle Check and Cleaning utility in your printer software. It prints a check
pattern that your printer then reads to see if you have any clogged nozzles, which
it then cleans, if necessary.
1. Load a few sheets of plain paper in the sheet feeder (see page 6).
2. Do one of the following:
Windows: Right-click the icon in
the bottom right corner of your screen
(the taskbar) and select
Printer
Settings
. Open the Utility tab, select
Auto Nozzle Check and Cleaning,
and click
OK.
Mac OS X: Open the
Applications
folder, open the
Epson Software
folder, open the EPSON Printer
Utility4
, select SP R2000, and click OK. Then select Auto Nozzle Check
and Cleaning
