23 mins confidence:

cleaning button, or eject button

Explanation:
OK, this is just an educated guess from your description. If it does clean the ink, then this button says:

Performs print head cleaning if held for 3 seconds when
the B black or A color ink out light is off.

(A and B are little symbols in the manual).

However, I have often heard 'spit' used as in the printer spit out the page. So in THAT case, it might be the eject button which says

Loads or ejects paper if pressed and released within
2 seconds.

In this manual for Epson printers, anyway.
