Epson EcoTank | Cleaning the Print Head via Windows 

This video needs to be updated for Windows 11. Since it is Microsoft's most infantile OS to date, there's no way of getting to the printer controls the way you could on prior versions of Windows. The taskbar icon you are showing in the video doesn't exist, and the printer settings page doesn't allow you to do the operations needed. Please fix asap. I have a printer in need of cleaning and no way of doing it. Why not allow for Power Cleaning from the app? You can do everything else from there, so why not this?

I can't manage to perform the Power Cleaning. I don't have the icon in the taskbar. There's no way to do it otherwise. WHY MUST THIS BE SO COMPLICATEDDDD?!....argh

How about when there is no yellow color when you do the nozzle check but my yellow ink. Level is still high

Right click the 'Printer' icon in your system tray (bottom right). - Nozzle Check option will tell you if your nozzles are clean. If any color or line breaks are visible, run Head Cleaning below. - Head Cleaning will perform a basic head cleaning on the printer. Run Nozzle Check afterwards. POWER CLEANING: - Power OFF the printer - Press and hold both the 'Power' button and the 'Help' button (a '?' symbol with a circle around it) - Printer will power on with the Power Cleaning option available. ... absolutely moronic that this information isn't included in the manual.

How do I do this from the actual screen of the printer? My Mac computer does not have this.

power-clean worked for me. mine was printing absolutly nothing and a blank paper was coming out. 3 times head clean didn't do anything but power-clean just fixed everything. ET2750.

Nope..., no good - still no magenta at all, ET-4500..., very disappointed with the product at this stage...

I can't belive this worked. I have tried everything prior to this. Thank you!

1:12 Well, for starters, there's no such software installed over here, and none to be download from the supporte page 🤷🏽‍♂

Thank you so much. Power Cleaning Solution finally cleaned my printer

I have an Epson Sure Color 170 I followed the cleaning steps, and it fixes my problem on not printing magenta color now appears on the screen the next message : Capac restante caja de mantenimiento" What it means? I've checked videos and I don't understand why? I don't printing a lot, but I tried printing once a week avoiding issues. TIA

Power Cleaning finally cleaned the system comprehensively. Thank you very much for the excellent solution.

Was not printing anything in black (all others were OK). After 2 attempts, all is back to normal. Thx for this comprehensive tuto.

It worked! I did clean four times but finally, it worked L3256

its always that power cleaning fixes the issue

thank you, was very helpful

Power Cleaning finally cleaned the yellow nozzle. It also seems that Epson has fixed the latest update that i have been trying to install for a year... L450

Thank you so much. This video was so helpful. Turning my printer off for 12 hours now!

totally agree with the commentators saying this only works for windows 10. spent way too long looking for solutions for a W11 computer read the comments here and then dug out my old computer W10 on it. V straightforward, luckily I still had it, and it had the printer installed from previously. ran power clean once, works perfectly now. W11 WTF is up with those limitations! Let us into these machines

i have 1 tiny line of blue missing from print test and no matter how many times i clean it stays the same

Thank you, that was very helpful.

I was trying to hold down the triangle button and turning it on, but it didn't work. Good tutorial, because this one works!

I have an ET-2720 that is properly installed, and prints well. However, the nozzles need to be cleaned, but there is no printer icon on my taskbar (not even in the hidden area), and right-clicking on the printer icon in the printer folder (or from the Start menu) does not give me a "settings" or a "maintenance" option. Any suggestions?

What is the importance of waiting 12 hours? I just did the first 3 cleanings and each one made it worse to the point now where there is basically nothing at all on the test page. Will try the power clean in 12 hours if the cleaning doesn't do anything. Looks like power cleaning did the trick.

I have an Epson 2700 Ecotank .The ink is two thirds full. the Cyan is not printing at all. I have done 3 head cleans and nozzle checks using the controls on the printer itself and waited 12 hours . Still no Cyan - In order to do a power clean I need to use Windows . I have read the manual and users guide online. However, there is no maintenance tab on my printer settings. i have tried this with both my laptop and desktop. How do I do the power clean please?

I am facing an issue with no yellow print on papers, trying to do nozzle clean few times but still not fixed. any recommendation what to do

Thanks Epson..this really helped:)

GOT SOME FEW GAPS BUT AFTER PERFORMING THIS THINGS ARE NOW FIXED REGARDING WITH ALIGNMENTS. THANK YOU!!

Epson L5190 is not turning on. I did not uae it for 2 days only.

Thank you for your help madam..

I have an Epson ET2760, and cleaning the print head via Windows totally worked! I am so glad! Thank you!

Don't have gaps but my problem is there's black ink on magenta, cyan & yellow. So weird. How to fix this?

How to clean the paper guides or rollers? There doesn't seem to be any option in windows to do so. My Epson ET-2711 is not able to pull the paper from the feeder. It always skips few centimeters which results in offset printed text. When I'm printing multi page docuemnt, some pages/papers are pulled by the roller correctly whereas others are not.

I spilt ink while filling the cartridges... Now the printer print only yellow??? How can I resolve this?

Explain what is a print head please

I keep getting a segment missing with the black one. I have cleaned everything. I'm still getting a line going horizontal through my pictures.

Head Cleaning cannot be completed. What should i do now?

Didn't work, just wasted the ink and blockage persisted ffs

Thanks a lot!

Very helpful. Thanks!

When I right clicked I got 2 options. The icon is Epsom Event Manager. Whatever that means. WHY WON'T THE YELLOW WORKKKK!!!!!!!!

I still can't print black ink after so many nozzle and head cleaning

which app are they using? I don't have this app on my app tray

Thanks a lot. I power-clean did it for me. Your video was a BIG help!
