This process will use several sheets of A4 size paper. Lay the paper on top of the

GARMENT HOLDER butting up against the upper right corner of the Printing Bed. Then

click Print Nozzle Check Pattern in the Utility dialog box and follow the on-screen

prompts.

4. After the Nozzle Check Pattern has printed out check to see if there are any gaps in the

printed lines. If there are no gaps or lines in the Nozzle Check Pattern, click Finish. If

there are gaps or lines, click on the Clean button to clean the heads again. If you have

badly clogged Print Heads you can do the Head Cleaning process many times, and while

the process will use a great deal of ink, it will eventually clear the clogged Heads. Your

other option is to turn off the printer and leave it overnight to let the ink soften, and

then do the head cleaning again the next day.

 Aligning the Print Head

If you notice any vertical or misaligned lines on your prints or banding of any kind, you will

need to do a Print Head Alignment. There are several ways in which the Print Head may

become mis-aligned – it could simply be through normal use, or if the Print Head hits a

garment or the metal Holding Ring during printing, or during transportation of the unit. If

the Print Head has hit hard on a garment, on the Metal Holding Ring or any other hard

surface it may be permanently damaged or misaligned and will need to be replaced.

Follow the directions below to carry out a basic Print Head Alignment:

1. Turn the printer ON.

2. Place an A4 or A3 size sheet of paper on top of the Garment Holder the same as for

the Nozzle Check. You may have to tape the paper into place if it curls as it needs to

be flat.

o Windows: Open your graphics application and go through the print process, or go

to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Printers and Faxes. Click on the Epson

2100/2200, select the Utility tab and Print Head Alignment.

o Macintosh OS 8.6 or 9.x: Choose File>Page Setup or Print. Click the utility

button and then the Print Head Alignment button.

o Macintosh OS X: Open the Applications/Utilities. Select Printer Setup Utility or

Print Centre. Click and highlight Stylus Photo 2100 or SP 2100. Click on the

Utility button and select Print Head Alignment.

3. Follow the instructions in the prompt window.

4. Once the test page has been printed select the pattern with the two vertical lines

that are accurately on top of each other. A magnifying glass will make it easier for

you to select these lines.

5. Select the pattern from each set of rows 1 and 2. Then enter the number of the best

pattern for each set. Click Next.

6. Follow the steps on the screen to print the test page.

7. Once the test page has printed out choose the set with the least banding between

the two rectangles.
