When you don’t use your printer for quite some time, you will notice that your printer is not printing the way it should be. Some Epson printer users say that they are facing print quality issue, while other says that they can’t print at all. This happens because when you don’t use your printer, the ink inside the print head gets dry and blocks the nozzle. The only solution for this issue is to clean the print head. There are two different methods to clean the print head, one through computer using Head Cleaning utility and second via printer control panel.
To clean print head using head cleaning utility of your Windows system, please follow the given steps:
• Turn on your printer and make sure ink out light is off.
• Open your printer software; you can take help for the same from experts of Epson Printer Helpline Number UK.
• Now click the Utility tab and then click the head cleaning button.
• Follow the on-screen instructions.
Note: You will see power light and ink light flashing during the cleaning process.
• Once they stop flashing, click “print nozzle check pattern” from Head cleaning dialog box.
If you are satisfied with the patter, then good, otherwise repeat the steps until you get satisfactory print.
To clean the print head using printer control panel, please do the following:
• Power light should be on and ink light should be off.
