General Printer Help General Support Topics for Epson 2100 SECTION CONTENTS (click to jump to): - - - - Normal Printer Head Cleaning: Before each printing session, carry out a nozzle check to ensure that all ink channels are firing. If they are not, make sure that you have not run out of ink, and then perform up to a maximum of four nozzle checks and cleans to restore a good nozzle print out. THE BEST TIP OF ALL: Problem prevention is always better than problem solving! Turn you printer on for a few minutes once every few days - especially when you are not using your printer for long periods. When you turn a printer on, it goes through a mini head-clean which can prevent the build up of dried ink on the underside of your ink head. - If you go on holiday, why not leave your printer switched 'on' and connect your print to the mains through an inexpensive central heating timer switch, set to turn on for a few minutes every other day - when you return, your print head will be in perfect order, ready to print. For dirty rollers or poor paper feed action, we recommend. This will remove any build-up of dried ink or paper fibres. We advise you to use this spray applied to a sheet of paper to create a cleaning sheet, which will maintain your inkjet roller friction, and maintain good paper feed characteristics. Printer Banding / Incomplete Nozzle Check: There are many causes of printer banding and these are often simple mistakes which can be easily corrected. Before you attempt any printer cleaning methods we suggest you go through this fault finding checklist: • You have a perfect nozzle check and the text underneath is clear and crisp. (performed in printer drivers utility) • You have a perfect head alignment. (performed in printer drivers utility) • The Refillable Cartridges or external ink reservoirs are at least 30% full • The print resolution is correct (usually 'Best Photo' or 'level 4') • You have the selected the correct media setting. (set in printer driver properties) - If this is unsuccessful, read on: Problem with a single channel (e.g. Black): The aim of this printer head cleaning technique is to attempt to force ink through the nozzles, thus clearing any dried ink. Produce a solid block of the colour you are experiencing problems with in Adobe Photoshop. This is done using the paint bucket tool. Print it up to 6 times A3 size on 'Best Photo' setting - Keep printing until you get a solid colour. If you are experiencing a problem with a certain channel using a bulk system please ensure the bottle is filled to the top, and the tubes are not pinched off or damaged in any way. If you have problem with more than one channel you may like to run a purge file at the best print quality (the slowest print) in order to gain a complete nozzle check. Please contact us and we will email you back a full purge file for your printer. Print this up to 6 times or until your nozzle check come good. Inaccurate Colour / Correct Settings First of all, please ensure you have a perfect nozzle check (this is carried out in the utilities section of your Epson printer driver).
