EPSON StatusMonitor
The StatusMonitor utility monitors the status of the Stylus Scan’s
printing functions at regular intervals. If it detects a printer error,
it will inform you with an error message.
You can also use this utility to check how much ink is remaining
before printing.
To use the StatusMonitor, click the EPSON StatusMonitor button
in the Utility dialog box. For details, see “Using the EPSON
StatusMonitor” on page 7-2.
Nozzle Check
The Nozzle Check utility checks the print head nozzles for
clogging. Check the nozzles if you notice print quality has
declined and also after cleaning to confirm that the print head
nozzles have been cleaned. If the nozzle check indicates the print
head needs cleaning, you can access the Head Cleaning utility
directly from the Nozzle Check utility. For details, see “Checking
the Print Head Nozzles” on page 11-2.
Head Cleaning
This utility cleans the print head. You may need to clean the head
when you notice print quality has declined. Use the Nozzle Check
utility first to confirm that the print head needs to be cleaned. For
details, see “Cleaning the Print Head” on page 11-5.
Print Head Alignment
This utility aligns the print head. Use this utility if you notice a
misalignment of vertical or horizontal lines.
