Replacing a Cartridge When Print Quality
Declines
Even if the ink out light isn’t flashing or on, you may need
to replace an ink cartridge if it’s been installed in your printer
for more than six months and print quality declines.
Follow these steps to replace old ink cartridges:
1. Print a nozzle check pattern to determine which cartridges
need to be replaced:
Windows: Right-click the printer icon on the Windows
taskbar, and then click
Nozzle Check.
Macintosh OS X: Open your
Applications folder and
double-click the
EPSON Printer Utility icon. Select C84
Series
in the printer list and click OK. Then click Nozzle
Check
.
Macintosh 8.6 to 9.x: Open your application’s File menu
and choose
Print. Click the Utility button, then click
the
Nozzle Check button.
2. Follow the instructions on the screen to print the nozzle
check pattern. Then examine the pattern for gaps in the
lines. You need to replace only those cartridges whose colors
show gaps in the line pattern, as shown below.
3. Make sure you have the correct replacement cartridges.
Note: You must have the new ink cartridges before you
continue. Once you start the ink cartridge replacement
procedure, you must complete all the steps in one session.
4. Lower the output tray and open the printer cover.
5. Press the ink button. The print head moves to the ink
cartridge replacement position, and the power light
begins to flash.
