I refilled the ink tanks after they were expended, but my nozzle check pattern still prints with gaps. What should I do?

  • The ink tubes may need to be filled with ink. See the instructions below.

    Power Cleaning Using the Product Control Panel

    You can run a Power Cleaning using the control panel on your product.
    1. Make sure there are no errors on the LCD screen.
    2. Press the  home button, if necessary.
    3. Select Maintenance > Print Head Cleaning > Power Cleaning.
    4. Follow the instructions on the LCD screen to run the Power Cleaning. A confirmation is displayed when Power Cleaning is complete.
    5. When the Power Cleaning is finished, a nozzle check pattern prints.
    If you still see gaps in the nozzle check pattern after running a Power Cleaning, turn the product off and wait for at least 12 hours. Then run the nozzle check again and run a Cleaning if necessary. If print quality does not improve, run a Power Ink Flushing. If print quality still does not improve, contact Epson support.
