9.
If an ink does not print. Remove the tube from the bottle, lift the cartridge out,
and suck 2 cc of ink out of the bottom of the cartridge using the bottom fill
adapter and syringe. Then reinstall. If you have all colors printing but you are
having problems getting a perfect nozzle pattern after several cleaning cycles,
then let the printer rest overnight and try a few cleaning cycles in the morning.
Don't do more than 9 cleaning cycles. Let the printer rest for a couple of hours
after doing unsuccessful cleanings.
The Care and Feeding of a CFS -
There are a couple of things you should know that will keep your system running trouble
free.
These systems work best if they are used everyday. If you are an infrequent printer or
only print once or twice a week, then you should install our AUTOPRINT program.
Autoprint will make a printout using our Purge6 image everyday as long as you leave your
computer and printer turned on. As an alternative, if you are going to be away for a few
days, buy an automatic timer and install it on your printer power line.
Set it to turn on the printer once per day. When the printer first comes on, it will do a
cleaning cycle. This is equivalent to making a Purge6 print. With the timer installed you will
not have to leave your computer on. Most hardware stores carry these timers, they are
not expensive.
If you have to do cleaning cycles, do them in groups of 3. Print a copy of Purge4 or Purge6
after 3 cleaning cycles. This resets the printer firmware so that you get a short, long, and
medium duration cleaning cycle. If you don't do this, all you will get is the short cleaning
cycle after the 3rd one. Running several short cleaning cycles will cause nozzles to drop
out. If you are still having problems after about 4 or 5 sets of 3 cleanings, then let the
printer rest for a few hours or overnight and try again later. This has worked on many
Epson printers in the past. It gives the air bubbles in the ink a chance to rise to the
surface and get out of the printhead.
Don't let your ink bottles get empty. Refill them when they are at the 1/4 full level.
Before pouring new ink into your bottle, transfer the ink that is left into a clean glass or
jar. Then wash out the CFS ink bottle with soap and water. Then refill with leftover ink
and new ink. This keeps algae from building up on the walls of the bottle and causing
premature ink failure.
