Examining the Nozzle Check Pattern
Examine the nozzle check pattern you print. It should look something like this:
Each staggered horizontal and straight vertical line should be complete, with no gaps
in the dot pattern. If your printout looks okay, you’re done. If any dots are missing, as
shown below, clean the print head again; see page 27 for instructions.
Replacing an Ink Cartridge
When the
B black or
A color ink out light flashes, the indicated cartridge is low on
ink. This is a good time to make sure you have a new cartridge. When the light stays
on, the cartridge is empty and you need to replace it.
Use these EPSON ink cartridges within six months of installing them and before the
expiration date on the package:
Black ink cartridge:
S020187
Color ink cartridge:
T001011
To ensure good results, use genuine EPSON ink cartridges
and do not refill them. Other products may cause damage to
your printer not covered by EPSON’s warranty.
