Running a Power Cleaning Using the Product Control Panel

If print head nozzles are still clogged after cleaning the print head several times, run the Power Cleaning utility from the product control panel. This process consumes a lot of ink to clean the clogged nozzles.
  1. Load roll or cut sheet paper in the printer.
  2. Make sure the correct paper type is selected.
  3. Press the  home button, if necessary.
  4. Select Menu > Maintenance > Power Cleaning. You see a screen like this:


  5. Select the nozzle pairs you want to clean or select All Colors and select OK to begin the power cleaning cycle.
    Caution:
    Never turn off the product during a cleaning cycle or you may damage it.
  6. Select Yes to print a nozzle check pattern. The nozzle pattern prints.
  7. Check the printed pattern to see if there are gaps in the lines.

If nozzles are still clogged, turn off the printer and leave it off overnight. If nozzles are still clogged when you turn it back on and run a nozzle check, contact Epson for support.
