Maintenance
This section gives you basic maintenance instructions and tells you how to transport
your EPSON 1000 ICS safely.
Cleaning the Print Head
If your printouts are unexpectedly light, or dots or lines are missing, you may need to
clean the print head. This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly. Print
head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if quality declines.
When you don’t turn on your EPSON 1000 ICS for a long time, the print
quality can decline. It’s a good idea to turn on your EPSON 1000 ICS at
least once a month to maintain good print quality.
1. Make sure the EPSON 1000 ICS is turned on but not printing, and the
Error
light is off. (If the
Error
light is flashing or on, you may need to replace an ink
cartridge; see page 27 for details.)
2. Press the left Menu button on the control panel several times until you see
Cleaning
and then press the
x
Copy
button.
Cleaning takes about 30 seconds, during which the EPSON 1000 ICS makes
some noise and the
P
Operate
light flashes.
Never turn off the EPSON 1000 ICS while the
P
Operate light is flashing,
unless the EPSON 1000 ICS hasn’t moved or made noise for more than
5 minutes.
