8/03 EPSON Stylus C84 - 5 Control Panel To diagnose some problems, check the printer’s control panel, as described below. Follow the guidelines in this table when you check the control panel lights: Replacing an Ink Cartridge ❏When the red ink light flashes, one or more ink cartridges are low on ink. ❏When the red ink light stays on, you need to replace the cartridge(s). When you print, you’ll also see a message on your screen telling you which cartridge is low or empty. When a cartridge is more than six months old, you may need to replace it if printouts don’t look their best. If the quality doesn’t improve after cleaning and aligning the print head, you can replace the cartridge even if the red ink light is off. Checking the Ink Supply To check your ink supply, do the following: ❏Windows: Double-click the icon on the Windows taskbar. You see a window like this: ❏Macintosh OS X: Double-click the EPSON Printer Utility icon in the Applications folder. Choose C84 Series and click OK. Then click EPSON Status Monitor.

6 - EPSON Stylus C84 8/03 Ink Cartridge Precautions Warning: Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink. 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: Don’t remove the cartridge label, or ink will leak. Don’t remove the green IC chip from the cartridge. Installing a cartridge without an IC chip can damage the printer. Avoid touching the green IC chip, as this can damage the ink cartridge. If you remove an ink cartridge temporarily, protect the ink supply port on the bottom of the cartridge from dirt and dust. Place it in a small box, or, if you have the original packaging, return it to its own box. Store ink cartridges in the same environment as the printer. Stand the cartridges upright (the label identifying the color should be on the top). Replacing an Empty or Low Ink Cartridge Be sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. Once you start the ink cartridge replacement procedure, you must complete all the steps in one session. Follow these steps to replace ink cartridges when the red ink out light is flashing or on: 1. Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing. The power light should be on, but not flashing. 2. Lower the output tray and open the printer cover. 3. Press the ink button for one second. The print head moves to the left, and the cartridge that needs to be replaced stops under the mark. The power light also begins to flash. Caution: Don’t press the ink button for more than 2 seconds, or the printer will start to clean the print head. To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print head by hand. 4. Press the ink button again. ❏If more than one ink cartridge is empty, the next cartridge moves under the mark. This happens after you press the ink button for every ink cartridge that needs to be replaced. ❏If all the empty cartridges have been identified, the print head moves to the ink cartridge replacement position. 5. Open the cartridge cover. 6. Pinch the back tab of the empty cartridge as you lift it out of the printer. Don’t take the used cartridge apart or try to refill it. Warning: If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water.

Replacing a Cartridge When Print Quality Declines Even if the ink out light isn’t flashing or on, you may need to replace an ink cartridge if it’s been installed in your printer for more than six months and print quality declines.

8/03 EPSON Stylus C84 - 9 Printing on Special Media Select the correct Type or Media Type setting so your printer knows what kind of paper you’re using and adjusts the ink coverage accordingly. Printing Borderless Photos You can print your photos with no margins, extending the image all the way to the edges of the page. Although borderless printing is a bit slower, you get beautiful snapshots and enlargements, without trimming, on these papers and sizes: With proper care, photographs from your EPSON Stylus printer will last for many years. The special EPSON DuraBrite inks designed for your printer are formulated to achieve improved lightfastness when used with EPSON papers for prints that are properly displayed or stored. For best results, always use EPSON papers. As with traditional photos, EPSON recommends proper care that will minimize color changes and lengthen display life: ❏Frame prints under glass or a protective plastic sleeve to protect them from atmospheric contaminants like humidity, smoke, and high levels of ozone. ❏As with all photographs, keep your prints away from direct sunlight. ❏For proper storage, keep your prints in a photo album or plastic photo storage box in acid-free, archival sleeves commonly available from most camera stores. ❏Always keep unused paper in the original package. Loading Paper Load paper as shown below, then follow the instructions for your operating system. ❏Always load the short edge first, even for printing landscape- oriented photos. ❏Load the printable side face up. It’s usually whiter or brighter than the other side. ❏Make sure the paper is under the tabs on the left and right edge guides. ❏Check the paper package for more loading instructions.

10 - EPSON Stylus C84 8/03 Cleaning the Print Head If your printouts are unexpectedly light, 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. This section explains how to clean the print head using the Head Cleaning utility. You can also clean the print head by holding down the button on the printer for three seconds. (This only works when the red light is off.) Caution: When you don’t turn on your printer for a long time, print quality can decline, so turn it on and print a few pages at least once a month to maintain good print quality. Running the Head Cleaning Utility 1. Make sure the printer is turned on but not printing, and the red ink light is off. (If the ink light is flashing or on, you need to replace a cartridge.) 2. Windows: Right-click the printer icon on your taskbar (in the lower right corner of your screen). Select Head Cleaning. Macintosh OS X: Open the Applications folder and double-click EPSON Printer Utility. Select Stylus C84 in the printer list, click OK, and select Head Cleaning. Macintosh OS 8.6 to 9.x: Open the File menu and choose Page Setup or Print. Click the utility button, then click the Head Cleaning button. 3. Follow the on-screen instructions to clean the print head. Cleaning takes several seconds. The printer makes noise and the green power light flashes. Caution: Never turn off the printer while the green power light is flashing, unless the printer hasn’t moved or made noise for more than 5 minutes. 4. When the green power light stops flashing, make sure paper is loaded in the printer, then do the following: Windows: Click Print nozzle check pattern. Then click Print. Macintosh: Click Confirmation, then click Next. The nozzle check pattern prints (see “Examining the Nozzle Check Pattern” below for details). 5. If the nozzle check pattern has no gaps or white lines, click Finish. If the pattern has white lines, click Clean to clean the print head again. You can also turn the printer off and wait overnight—this allows any dried ink to soften—and then try cleaning the print head again. Examining the Nozzle Check Pattern Examine the nozzle check pattern you printed. Each staggered line should be solid, with no gaps, as shown. ❏If your printout looks okay, you’re done. ❏If you see any gaps (as shown below), clean the print head again. Windows Macintosh

8/03 EPSON Stylus C84 - 11 Aligning the Print Head If your printouts contain misaligned vertical lines, or you see light or dark horizontal banding, you may need to align the print head.

Keep the printer cover closed to prevent water from getting inside. 4. If ink accidentally gets inside the printer, wipe off the rollers shown below with a damp cloth. Warning: Don’t touch the gears or any other parts inside the printer. Caution: Never use a hard or abrasive brush, or benzine, alcohol, or paint thinner for cleaning; they can damage the printer components and case. Don’t get water on the printer components and don’t spray lubricants or oils inside the printer. Transporting the Printer If you need to ship your printer, you must prepare it for transportation by removing the ink cartridges and packing the printer in its original box or one of a similar size. 1. Turn on the printer. 2. Remove any paper from the printer, then remove the paper support. 3. Open the printer cover. 4. Press the ink button. The print head moves to the ink cartridge replacement position, and the power light begins to flash.
