Status Monitor 3

such as the amount of ink remaining, and checks for printer errors.
This utility is only available when both of the following conditions
are met:
❏ The EPSON Stylus Scan is connected directly to the host
computer via the parallel port or USB port.
❏ Your system is configured to support bidirectional
communication.
Nozzle Check
The Nozzle Check utility checks the print head nozzles for
clogging. Check the nozzles if you notice print quality has
declined and after cleaning to confirm that the print head nozzles
have been cleared. If the nozzle check indicates the print head
needs cleaning, you can access the Head Cleaning utility directly
from the Nozzle Check utility. See “Checking the Print Head
Nozzles” on page 11-2.
Head Cleaning
The Head Cleaning utility cleans the print head. You may need
to clean the print head when you notice print quality has declined.
Use the Nozzle Check utility first to confirm that the print head
needs to be cleaned. You can access the Nozzle Check utility
directly from the Head Cleaning utility. See “Cleaning the Print
Head” on page 11-5.
Print Head Alignment
The Print Head Alignment utility aligns the print head. Use this
utility if you notice a misalignment of vertical lines. Follow the
