When it's finished, the On light stops flashing and remains on, and the B ink light goes out. Cleaning the Print Head If your printouts are unexpectedly light or faint, or you notice light or dark bands across them, you may need to clean the print head. This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly. Run a nozzle check as described on page 16 to see if the print head needs cleaning. Note: Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if the nozzle check indicates that it needs cleaning. If the B ink light comes on or flashes, you cannot clean the print head. [. . . ] If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If you still have discomfort or vision problems, see a doctor immediately. Do not put your hand inside the EPSON STYLUS DX or touch any cartridges during printing. Install a new ink cartridge immediately after you remove an empty one. [. . . ]
