Adjust Print Quality If your print quality declines, you may need to run a utility to clean or align the print head. Clean the Print Head Align the Print Head If running these utilities does not solve the problem, you may need to replace the ink cartridges. If you notice vertical lines or streaks on your printouts, you may need to clean the rollers. Caution:Remove the CD/DVD tray and close the manual feed tray before running any of the Epson Stylus Photo R3000 Series utilities. Note:If you don’t use your R3000 Series often, it is a good idea to print a few pages at least once a month to maintain good print quality.
