Using the Printer Utilities

The Epson printer utilities let you check the current printer status and perform printer
maintenance from your screen.
Nozzle Check
This utility checks the print head nozzles to see if they are clogged and need to be cleaned. Check
the nozzles when you notice the print quality has declined and after cleaning to confirm that the
print head nozzles have been cleaned. If the print head nozzles are clogged, perform head cleaning.
Head Cleaning
This utility cleans the color and black print heads. You may need to clean the print head if you
notice the print quality has declined.
Note:
The cleaning process consumes ink of all ink cartridges at the same time. Even if you are using only
black inks, the head cleaning also consumes color inks.
Print Head Alignment
This utility can be used to improve the print quality of your printed data. The alignment of the
print head may need to be adjusted if vertical lines appear out of alignment or if white or black
banding noise appear in your printed data. Use this utility to realign the print head.
