Adjusting the Print Color
You can adjust the colors used in the print job.
PhotoEnhance produces sharper images and more vivid colors by automatically adjusting the contrast, saturation, and brightness of the original image data.
Note: These adjustments are not applied to the original data. PhotoEnhance adjusts the color by analyzing the location of the subject. Therefore, if you have changed the location of the subject by reducing, enlarging, cropping, or rotating the image, the color may change unexpectedly. If the image is out of focus, the tone may be unnatural. If the color is changed or becomes unnatural, print in a mode other than PhotoEnhance.
Adjusting the Print Color - Windows

Improving Print and Scan Quality
Checking and Cleaning the Print Head
If the nozzles are clogged, the printouts become faint, there is visible banding, or unexpected colors appear. When print quality has declined, use the nozzle check feature and check if the nozzles are clogged. If the nozzles are clogged, clean the print head.
Important: Do not open the scanner unit or turn off the printer during head cleaning. If the head cleaning is incomplete, you may not be able to print.
Note:
- Because print head cleaning uses some ink, clean the print head only if quality declines.
- When ink is low, you may not be able to clean the print head. Prepare a new ink bottle.
- If print quality has not improved after repeating nozzle check and head cleaning three times, wait for at least 12 hours without printing, and then run the nozzle check again and repeat the head cleaning if necessary. We recommend to turn off the printer. If print quality has still not improved, contact Epson support.
- To prevent the print head from drying out, do not unplug the printer while the power is on.
- To keep the print head operating at its best, we recommend printing a few pages on a regular basis.

Important: This feature consumes a lot of ink. Before using this feature, make sure there is enough ink in the printer’s ink tanks. If there is not enough ink, refill the ink tanks.
Caution:

- After using the Power Ink Flushing utility, turn the printer off and wait for at least 12 hours. Using this feature improves the print quality after 12 hours, however it cannot be used again within 12 hours of the last use. If you still cannot solve the problem after trying all of the methods above, contact Epson support.

Solving Problems
Checking the Printer Status
Checking the Error Indicators on the Printer
When an error occurs, the light turns on or flashes. Details of the error are displayed on the computer screen.
- :On
- : Flashing slowly

Note: In some print cycles a very small amount of surplus ink may be collected in the ink pad. To prevent ink leakage from the pad, the printer is designed to stop printing when the pad has reached its limit. Whether and how often this is required will vary according to the number of pages you print, the type of material that you print and the number of cleaning cycles that the printer performs. The need for replacement of the pad does not mean that your printer has ceased to operate in accordance with its specifications. The printer will advise you when the pad requires replacing and this can only be performed by an authorized Epson Service provider. The Epson warranty does not cover the cost of this replacement.

Printout Problems
Print Quality Is Poor
Check the following if the print quality is poor due to blurry prints, banding, missing colors, faded colors, misalignment, and mosaic-like patterns in the prints.
- Make sure the initial ink charging is complete.
- Check the ink tank. If the tank is empty, refill the ink immediately and clean the print head.
- Run the nozzle check and then clean the print head if any of the print head nozzles are clogged.
- If you have not used the printer for a long time, use the Power Ink Flushing utility of the printer driver
- Align the print head.
- If misalignment appears at intervals of 2.5 cm, align the print head.
- Use paper supported by this printer.
- Do not print on paper that is damp, damaged, or too old.
- If the paper is curled or the envelope is puffed up, flatten it.
- When printing images or photos, print using high-resolution data. Images on websites are often low resolution although they look good enough on the display, and so print quality may decline.
- Select the appropriate paper type setting in the printer driver for the type of paper loaded in the printer.
- Print using a high quality setting in the printer driver.
- When images or photos are printed in unexpected colors, adjust the color and then print again. The automatic color correction feature uses the standard correction mode in PhotoEnhance. Try another correction mode in PhotoEnhance by selecting an option other than Auto Correct as the Scene Correction setting. If the problem continues, use any other color correction feature other than PhotoEnhance.
- Disable the bidirectional (or high speed) setting. When this setting is enabled, the print head prints while moving in both directions, and vertical lines may be misaligned. If you disable this feature, printing may slow down.
- Windows: Clear High Speed on the printer driver's More Options tab.
- Mac OS X: Select System Preferences from the menu > Printers & Scanners (or Print & Scan, Print & Fax), and then select the printer. Click Options & Supplies > Options (or Driver). Select Off as the High Speed Printing setting.
- Do not stack the paper immediately after printing.
- Dry the printouts completely before filing or displaying them. When drying the printouts, avoid direct sunlight, do not use a dryer, and do not touch the printed side of paper.
- Try to use genuine Epson ink bottles. This product is designed to adjust colors based on the use of genuine Epson ink bottles. The use of non-genuine ink bottles may cause print quality to decline.
- Use ink bottles with the correct part code for this printer.
- Epson recommends using the ink bottle before the date printed on the package
- When printing images or photos, Epson recommends using genuine Epson paper rather than plain paper. Print on the printable side of the genuine Epson paper.
Copy Quality Is Poor
Check the following if uneven colors, smears, dots, or straight lines appear in the copied image.
- Load and eject paper without printing to clean the paper path.
- Clean the scanner glass and the document cover.
- Do not press too hard on the original or the document cover when you are placing the originals on the scanner glass. Uneven colors, smears, or dots may appear when the original or the document cover are pressed too hard.
An Image of the Reverse Side of the Original Appears in the Copied Image
- For a thin original, place the original on the scanner glass and then place a piece of black paper over it.
The Position, Size, or Margins of the Printout Are Incorrect
- Load paper in the correct direction, and slide the edge guide against the edges of the paper.
- When placing the originals on the scanner glass, align the corner of the original with the corner indicated by a symbol on the frame of the scanner glass. If the edges of the copy are cropped off, move the original slightly away from the corner.
- Clean the scanner glass and the document cover. If there is dust or stains on the glass, the copy area may extend to include the dust or stains, resulting in the wrong printing position or small images.
- Select the appropriate paper size setting in the printer driver
- Adjust the margin setting in the application so that it falls within the printable area.
Paper Is Smeared or Scuffed
Check the following if the paper is smeared or scuffed when printing.
- Clean the paper path.
- Clean the scanner glass and the document cover.
- Load paper in the correct direction.
- When performing manual 2-sided printing, make sure that the ink is completely dry before reloading the paper.
Printed Characters Are Incorrect or Garbled

- Cancel any paused print jobs.
- Do not put the computer manually into the Hibernate mode or the Sleep mode while printing. Pages of garbled text may be printed next time you start the computer.
The Printed Image Is Inverted
Clear any mirror image settings in the printer driver or the application.
- Windows: Clear Mirror Image on the printer driver's More Options tab.
- Mac OS X: Clear Mirror Image from the print dialog's Print Settings menu.
The Printout Problem Could Not be Cleared
If you have tried all of the solutions and have not solved the problem, try uninstalling and then reinstalling the printer driver.
Other Printing Problems
Printing Is Too Slow

Printing Slows Down Dramatically During Continuous Printing
