Cleaning the Print Head

If your printouts are unexpectedly light, colors are not correct, 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.

Running a Nozzle Check
1. Make sure your CX6600 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 11.) 2. Press the Setup button to enter Setup Mode. 3. Make sure letter-size paper is loaded. 4. Press the green button next to the LCD screen until you see Nozzle check displayed, then press the x Color button to print the nozzle check. 5. After the nozzle check finishes printing, make sure each line is complete, without any gaps or missing dots:
Replacing an Ink Cartridge
If the ! error light on the Epson Stylus CX6600 is flashing, or you see an ink cartridge error message on the LCD screen or computer monitor, you need to replace one of the cartridges. When a cartridge is more than six months old, you may need to replace it if printouts dont look their best. Also, replace the cartridge if the quality doesnt improve after cleaning and aligning the print head. Use these ink cartridges within six months of installing them and before the expiration date on the package: Black (high capacity): T0431 Black (standard capacity): T0441 Cyan: T0442 Magenta: T0443 Yellow: T0444
If any dots are missing, clean the print head as described in the next section.
Running the Head Cleaning Utility
If you need to clean the print head, follow these steps: 1. Press the Setup button to enter Setup Mode. 2. Press the green button next to the LCD screen until you see Head Cleaning displayed, then press the x Color button to run a head cleaning cycle.
Caution: Never turn off the CX6600 while the message Head Cleaning appears on the LCD screen, unless it hasnt moved or made noise for more than 5 minutes.
Note: Availability of black ink cartridge types varies by location. The high capacity black ink cartridges are recommended as replacement cartridges for users who print frequently. Users who print infrequently may want to choose the standard capacity black ink cartridge. Your printer includes the high capacity black ink cartridge. Caution: To ensure good results, use genuine Epson ink cartridges and do not refill them. Other products may cause damage to your CX6600 not covered by Epsons warranty.
When you need new ink cartridges, contact your dealer. You can also call the Epson Store at (800) 873-7766, or visit www.epsonstore.com (U.S. sales only). In Canada, please call (800) 463-7766 for dealer referral.
Warning: Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them thoroughly with water. Caution: To avoid damaging the Epson Stylus CX6600, never move the print head by hand. You cannot print if any ink cartridge is empty. Leave the empty cartridge installed until you have obtained a replacement. Otherwise the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.

3. When the message Head Cleaning disappears, repeat the nozzle check to verify that the print head is clean. If you dont see any improvement after cleaning three or four times, turn off the CX6600 and wait overnight. This lets any dried ink soften. Then try cleaning the print head again.
Caution: When you dont turn on your CX6600 for a long time, the print quality can decline. Its a good idea to turn it on at least once a month to maintain good print quality.

Maintaining Your CX6600

If you notice a decline in print quality, follow the instructions in this chapter to check and clean the print head. Youll also find instructions on checking ink levels and replacing the ink cartridges. See these sections:
Cleaning the Print Head below Replacing Ink Cartridges on page 33

Cleaning the Print Head

If your printouts are unexpectedly light or faint, or you notice light or dark bands across your printout, you may need to clean the print head. This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly.
Note: Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if quality declines. If you notice that text or straight vertical lines appear jagged, you may need to align the print head. See your on-screen Reference Guide for details.

Running a Nozzle Check

1. Make sure the CX6600 is turned on, paper is loaded, and the red ! error light is off. (If the ! error light is on, check the LCD screen to see if you have to replace an ink cartridge.) 2. Press the Setup button to enter Setup Mode. 3. Press the green button next to the LCD screen until you see Nozzle check displayed, then press the x Color button to print the nozzle check.
4. After the nozzle check finishes printing, make sure each line is complete, without any gaps or missing dots:
If any dots are missing, as shown below, clean the print head as described in the next section.
Running the Head Cleaning Utility
If you need to clean the print head, follow these steps: 1. Press the Setup button to enter Setup Mode. 2. Press the green button next to the LCD screen until you see Head Cleaning displayed, then press the x Color button. The CX6600 runs a head cleaning cycle, and you see the message Head cleaning. on the LCD screen.
Caution: Never turn off the CX6600 while head cleaning is in progress, or you may damage the CX6600.
3. When the message Head cleaning. disappears, repeat the nozzle check (see page 31) to verify that the print head is clean. If you dont see any improvement after cleaning three or four times, turn off the CX6600 and wait overnight. This lets any dried ink soften. Then try cleaning the print head again the next day.
32 Maintaining Your CX6600

Replacing Ink Cartridges

To check ink levels, follow these steps: 1. Press the Setup button to enter Setup Mode. 2. Press the green button next to the LCD screen until Ink Levels is displayed, then press the x Color button. You see the amount of ink available in each cartridge: C (Cyan), M (Magenta), Y (Yellow), K (Black).

Make sure the document is placed flat against the document table glass. If only part of the image is blurred, your document may be wrinkled or warped. Make sure the CX6600 is not tilted or placed on an uneven surface. Clean the print head; see page 31 for instructions. If a dotted line appears in the image, clean the scanner glass with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth (paper towels are not recommended). If the glass is still not clean, use a small amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth. Make sure you wipe off any remaining liquid. Dont spray glass cleaner directly on the glass. Make sure your paper isnt damp, curled, or loaded face down (the printable side should be face up). Load new paper face up. Use Epson papers for proper saturation and absorption of genuine Epson inks. Use a support sheet with special paper or load your paper one sheet at a time. If you notice jagged vertical lines, you may need to align the print head. See your on-screen CX6600 Reference Guide for instructions. The ink cartridges may be old or low on ink; see page 33 for instructions on replacing an ink cartridge.

Important Safety Instructions
Before using your Epson Stylus CX6600, read and follow these safety instructions:
Be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the Stylus CX6600. Use only the type of power source indicated on the Stylus CX6600 label. Connect all equipment to properly grounded power outlets. Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as air control systems or other high-load devices that regularly switch on and off. Place the Stylus CX6600 near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged. Placez limprimante prs dune prise de contacte o la fiche peut tre dbranche facilement. Do not let the power cord become damaged or frayed. If you use an extension cord with the Stylus CX6600, make sure the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cords ampere rating. Also, make sure the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlets ampere rating. Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Keep your Stylus CX6600 and computer system away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or cordless telephone base units. Avoid locations that are subject to rapid changes in heat or humidity, shocks or vibrations, or dust. Leave enough room around the Stylus CX6600 for sufficient ventilation. Do not place the Stylus CX6600 near a radiator or heating vent or in direct sunlight. Place the Stylus CX6600 on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond its base in all directions. It will not operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle. Leave enough space in front of the Stylus CX6600 (at least 9 inches) so it doesnt tip forward and fall off of the work surface. Turn off and unplug the Stylus CX6600 before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth only. Do not spill liquid on it. Always turn the Stylus CX6600 off using the P On button. Dont turn off the power using a switch on a power strip or unplug the Stylus CX6600 until the On light is off.

Do not block or cover openings in the Stylus CX6600 case or insert objects through the slots. Except as specifically explained in your documentation, do not attempt to service the Stylus CX6600 yourself. Unplug the Stylus CX6600 and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: if the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered the product; if the product has been dropped or the case damaged; if the product does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Before transporting the Stylus CX6600, make sure the print head is capped in the far right position and the ink cartridges are in place. This product includes a lamp component that contains mercury (Hg). Please consult your state and local regulations regarding disposal or recycling. Do not put in the trash.
Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions
Leave the ink cartridges installed. Removing the cartridges can dehydrate the print head and may prevent the Stylus CX6600 from printing. Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink. Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges; there may be ink remaining around the ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water. Do not put your hand inside the Stylus CX6600 or touch the cartridge during printing. Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise you may damage the Stylus CX6600. Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from its package. Leaving the cartridge unpacked for a long time before use may result in reduced print quality. Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the cartridge package. For best results, use up the ink cartridges within six months of first installing them. Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. Store each ink cartridge so that the bottom of its package faces down. After bringing an ink cartridge inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least three hours before using it. Do not remove or tear the label on an ink cartridge; this can cause leakage. Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them. This could result in damage to the print head.

42 Notices

Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. This may affect normal operation and printing. If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust and store it in the same environment as the Stylus CX6600. Note that there is a valve in the ink supply port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent the ink from staining items that the cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink cartridge ink supply port or surrounding area.
