1
The EPSON Stylus Pro 7000 requires very little maintenance to keep
working at its best. This chapter describes the following routine procedures:
• Running a nozzle check
• Running a cleaning cycle
• Aligning the print head
• Replacing ink cartridges
• Replacing the paper cutter blade
• Running the Speed and Progress utility
• Cleaning the printer
• Transporting the printer
• Replacing the waste ink system
Running a Nozzle Check
You can run a nozzle check either from the printer’s control panel or from a
computer with the EPSON utilities.
The nozzle check prints a pattern of dots that lets you see if any print head
nozzles are clogged. If any dots are missing, you can run a cleaning cycle to
clear the nozzles. Follow these steps to print a nozzle check:
1. Load a sheet of paper in the printer, following the instructions on
page 2-13. (You can print a nozzle check on roll paper, but you will use
more paper.)
2. To run a nozzle check from a Macintosh, click the utility button on
the Print or Page Setup dialog box. Then click the Nozzle Check button
and follow the instructions on the screen.
To run a nozzle check from Windows, access the Main Printer
Properties dialog box and click the
Utility tab. Then click the Nozzle
Check button and follow the instructions on the screen.
To run a nozzle check from the printer’s control panel, press the
SelecType button repeatedly until you see TEST PRINT MENU on the
display.
