Printing Your Design
After you have created your design and loaded a CD or DVD,
you’re ready to print.
1. Open the File menu and select
Print.
2. Make sure
EPSON Stylus Photo R220 Series (Windows)
or
Stylus Photo R220 (Macintosh) is selected, then
click
Print.
Note: After you print, handle the CD or DVD carefully. To allow
the ink to dry, wait at least 24 hours before playing the disc or
inserting it in a drive. Keep printed discs away from moisture and
direct sunlight.
If you need to adjust the print position or color, see your
Printer Basics book.
Cleaning the Print Head
If your printouts are unexpectedly light or dots or lines are
missing, you may need to clean the print head. This unclogs
the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly. Print head
cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if quality declines.
This section explains how to clean the print head using the
Head Cleaning Utility.
You can also clean the print head by holding down the H ink
button on the printer for three seconds. (This only works
when the red H ink light is off.)
Caution: When you don’t turn on your printer for a long time, print
quality can decline, so turn it on and print a few pages at least once
a month to maintain good print quality.
Running the Head Cleaning Utility
1. Make sure the printer is turned on but not printing, and the
red H ink light is off. (If the H ink light is flashing or on, you
need to replace a cartridge; see page 4 for details.)
2. Do one of the following:
❏ Windows: Right-click the icon on your taskbar (in
the lower right corner of your screen). Select
Head
Cleaning
.
❏ Macintosh: Open the
Applications folder and select
EPSON Printer Utility. Select SP R200 Series in the
printer list, click
OK, then select Head Cleaning.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen to clean the print
head.
Cleaning takes about 45 seconds. The printer makes noise
and the green P power light flashes.
Caution: Never turn off the printer while the green P power light is
flashing, unless the printer hasn’t moved or made noise for more
than 5 minutes.
4. When the green P power light stops flashing, make sure
paper is loaded in the printer, then do one of the following:
❏ Windows: Click
Print nozzle check pattern, then click
Print.
❏ Macintosh: Click
Confirmation, then click Next.
The nozzle check pattern prints.
