Checking and Cleaning the
Print Head
If your printouts are unexpectedly light, colors are
missing, or you see light or dark lines across the page,
you may need to clean the print head. This clears the
print head nozzles, which can become clogged if you
do not use the EPSON STYLUS PHOTO RX for a long
time.
Note:
Make sure the front tray is in the paper position (lower position) and
the CD/DVD tray is not inserted in the EPSON STYLUS PHOTO
RX. For detailed information, see "Loading Paper" on page 4.
