Updating the Driver
Once you have switched black ink cartridges, you need to
update the driver (printer software) so that it knows which
black ink mode you’re using. Follow these steps:
Macintosh Users
1. Open the Chooser from the Apple menu.
2. Click the printer icon and port, as shown.
3. Close the Chooser. This completes the black ink
replacement.
Windows Users
1. Click the Main tab in your printer software and make sure
the correct ink cartridge information is displayed, as shown
below.
2. If necessary, set the information manually. Click the Utility
tab, then click the Printer and Option Information
button. Select the appropriate ink cartridge option, as
shown below.
3. Click OK to exit the printer software. This completes the
black ink replacement.
Improving Print Quality
Banding and incorrect or missing colors can be caused by
several problems, such as clogged print head nozzles or a
misaligned print head. Poor print quality can also be caused
by using a paper that is not defined in the EPSON printer
driver or in a third-party RIP.
Here are some common solutions for print quality problems:
❏ Run a nozzle check and cleaning cycle. See page 13 for
instructions.
❏ Align the print head, as described on page 14.
❏ To eliminate banding, choose 1440 dpi as your resolution.
❏ If you’re using cut sheet media, make sure the printable side
(usually the whiter side) is face up.
❏ Check the
Ink Out lights to see if you are low on ink.
Replace any low ink cartridges, as described on page 10.
❏ Make sure the
Media Type setting is correct for the media
you’re printing on.
❏ Deselect the
High Speed setting (for bi-directional
printing) in your printer driver software.
If your paper type is not defined in your printer software, or if
you’re using non-EPSON media, you can use the printer’s
Paper Configuration menu to create a custom paper type. You
can access these settings using the SelecType button on the
