6. Lower the new ink cartridge into its holder with the label

facing up and toward the back of the printer.

7. Press down the ink cartridge clamp until it locks in place,

but don’t press down on the cartridge itself.

8. If you need to replace the other ink cartridge, repeat steps 3

through 7 before continuing with step 9.

9. Press the

E load/eject button again and close the printer

cover. The printer moves the print head and begins

charging the ink delivery system.

The

Ppower light flashes and the printer makes noise.

Charging takes about 30 seconds. When it’s finished, the

Ppower light stops flashing and stays on.

Never turn off the printer while the

power light is

flashing, unless the printer hasn’t moved or made noise

for more than 5 minutes.

Cleaning the Print Head

If your printed image is unexpectedly light or faint, or dots are

missing from the image, you may need to clean the print head.

This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly.

Cleaning the print head uses ink, so clean it only if print

quality declines. You can clean the print head in either of the

following ways:

❏ using the Head Cleaning utility (when the printer is

connected to a local port, not over a network), as described

on page 9

❏ using the printer’s control panel buttons, as described on

page 10

When you don’t turn on your printer for a long time, the

print quality can decline. It’s a good idea to turn on your

printer at least once a month to maintain good print

quality.

If any paper you buy comes with a cleaning sheet, don’t

use the cleaning sheet with your printer; it may jam

inside the printer.

Using the Head Cleaning Utility

Follow these steps to run the Head Cleaning utility

(recommended method):

1. Make sure the printer is turned on but not printing, and

both the

B black and

A color ink out lights are off. (If an

ink out light is flashing, replace the ink cartridge before

continuing.)

2. If you have an application running, access the printer

settings dialog box.

Or, with Windows, click

Start, point to Settings, then

select

Printers. Right-click your EPSON Stylus COLOR

1160

printer icon in the Printers windows. Then select

Properties (Document Defaults in Windows NT).

3. Windows: Click the

Utility tab.

Macintosh: Click the Utility button.

4. On the Utility menu, click the

Head Cleaning button.

5. Follow the instructions on the screen to clean the print

head. Cleaning takes about 30 seconds, during which the

printer makes some noise and the

Ppower light flashes.

Never turn off the printer while the

power light is

flashing, unless the printer hasn’t moved or made noise

for more than 5 minutes.

6. When the

Ppower light stops flashing, run a nozzle check

to confirm the print head nozzles are clean and reset the

cleaning cycle.
