Cleaning the Paper Guide

If you see ink on the back of a printout, you can clean the paper guide rollers to remove any excess ink. If paper does not feed correctly from the rear paper feed slot, you can use a cleaning sheet to clean the rollers.
  1. Do one of the following:
    • If printouts are smeared or scuffed, load plain paper in the paper source that you want to clean in this size: A3 (11.7 × 16.5 inches [297 × 420 mm]).
    • If paper does not feed correctly from the rear paper feed slot, load the cleaning sheet that comes with genuine Epson paper in the rear paper feed slot.
  2. Press the  home button, if necessary.
  3. Select Setup.
  4. Select Maintenance. You see a screen like this:


  5. Scroll down and select Paper Guide Cleaning.
  6. Select the paper source you want to clean.
  7. Press the  Color button.
  8. If you are cleaning the paper guides, repeat as necessary until the paper comes out clean. If you are using a cleaning sheet, repeat these steps up to 3 times.
    Note: If the paper is not clean after cleaning several times, try cleaning the other paper sources.
