Epson menus and cleaning limits vary by model. This guide explains the general decision process; follow your printer's exact manual.

Identify faint print, missing lines or banding, and note the exact printer model.
Load plain paper and print a nozzle-check pattern through your model's maintenance menu.
If no lines are missing, skip head cleaning; unnecessary cleaning wastes ink.
If lines are missing, check that every relevant ink tank is above its minimum level before cleaning.
Run one ordinary head-cleaning cycle according to the model manual, then print another nozzle pattern; do not power down or open covers mid-cycle.
If problems persist, consult model-specific limits and waiting instructions. Power Cleaning uses substantial ink and must not be repeated casually.
