print the check pattern again.
U “Cleaning the print head” on page 45
Clean the platen path for the print head if performing
head cleaning several times does not clear the
problem. Wash the tubes if this does not clear the
problem.

page 65
U “Tube Washing” on page 56
o
Has the printer been left unused for a long
time?
Nozzles may be dried and clogged if the printer is not
used for a long time.
If cleaning the print head does not restore the printer
to its normal condition, replace the ink with cleaning
liquid.
U “Tube Washing” on page 56
o
Are you in color ink mode?
Cleaning cartridges are installed in color ink mode;
therefore, it is difficult to see the rows (CL) printed
with the Cleaning liquid.
There is no problem if the rows you cannot see are
printed with the Cleaning liquid.
o
Are you printing on paper in White ink mode?
It is hard to see White ink when it is printed on paper.
Use an OHP sheet and so on to confirm the nozzle
check pattern for White ink.
U “Loading paper” on page 44
o
Are there fibers stuck to the platen path for
the print head?
If fibers are stuck to the platen path for the print head,
the fibers come into contact with the print head when
it moves which may prevent ink from firing. Clean the
platen path if performing head cleaning several times
does not clear the problem.
U “Cleaning the platen path for the print head” on
page 65
Print results are not what you
expected
Print quality is poor, uneven, too
light, or too dark, or there are lines in
the prints.
o
Are the print head nozzles clogged?
If the nozzles are clogged, the corresponding colors
do not fire and the print quality declines. Print a nozzle
check pattern.
U “Checking for clogged nozzles” on page 44
o
Have you adjusted the height of the platen?
If the print surface is too far from the print head, the
following problems may occur in the print result.
❏ Lines in the print result
❏ Edges of the image are blurry
❏ Text and straight lines are doubled
❏ Image is grainy
Adjust the platen to its optimum height.
U “Adjusting the Height” on page 35
o
Have you aligned the print head?
The print head normally prints bi-directionally. Lines
may appear misaligned due to the misalignment of
the print head in bi-directional printing. Try Head
Alignment when vertical lines are misaligned.
U “Correcting the print misalignment” on page 46
o
Perform Feed Adjustment.
The problem may improve by adjusting the platen
feed for each time the print head moves.
If the lines are dark, adjust to the + side, and if the lines
are faint, adjust to the - side.
U “Menu List” on page 70
o
Are you using genuine Epson ink cartridges?
This printer is developed for use with Epson ink
cartridges. If you use non-Epson ink cartridges, the
print result may be faint, or the color of the printed
image may be changed because the remaining ink
level is not correctly detected. Be sure to use the
correct ink cartridge.
