Using Printer Utilities
The Epson printer utilities let you check the
current printer status and perform printer
maintenance from your screen.
EPSON StatusMonitor
This utility provides you with printer status
information, such as the ink cartridge status, the
free space of the maintenance tank, and a printer
error.
Nozzle Check
This utility checks the print head nozzles to see if
they are clogged and need to be cleaned. Check
the nozzles when you notice the print quality has
declined and after cleaning to confirm that the
print head nozzles have been cleaned. If the print
head nozzles are clogged, perform head cleaning.
See “Nozzle check” on page 76
Head Cleaning
This utility cleans the color and black print heads.
You may need to clean the print head if you notice
the print quality has declined.
See “Head cleaning” on page 78
Print Head Alignment
This utility can be used to improve the print
quality of your printed data. The alignment of the
print head may need to be adjusted if vertical
lines appear out of alignment or if white or black
banding noise appear in your printed data. Use
this utility to realign the print head.
