Making Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) Connection Settings

This method allows you to connect the printer directly to devices without an access point. The printer acts as an
access point.

c Important:
When you connect from a computer or smart device to the printer using the Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) connection,
the printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network (SSID) as the computer or smart device and the communication
is established between them. Since the computer or smart device is automatically connected to the other connectable
Wi-Fi network if the printer is turned off, it is not connected to the previous Wi-Fi network again if the printer is
turned on. Connect to the printer's SSID for Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) connection from the computer or smart

Ink Cartridge Codes

Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson ink cartridges. Epson cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of
non-genuine ink. The use of non-genuine ink may cause damage that is not covered by Epson’s warranties, and
under certain circumstances, may cause erratic printer behavior. Information about non-genuine ink levels may
not be displayed.
The following are the codes for genuine Epson ink cartridges.
Note:
❏ Not all cartridges are available in all regions.
❏ Ink cartridge codes may vary by location. For the correct codes in your area, contact Epson support.

Ink Cartridge Handling Precautions

Read the following instructions before replacing ink cartridges.

Handling precautions
❏ Store ink cartridges at normal room temperature and keep them away from direct sunlight.
❏ Epson recommends using the ink cartridge before the date printed on the package.
❏ For best results, use up ink cartridge within six months of opening the package.
❏ For best results, store ink cartridge packages with their bottom down.
❏ After bringing an ink cartridge inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at
least three hours before using it.
❏ Do not open the ink cartridge package until you are ready to install it in the printer. The cartridge is vacuum
packed to maintain its reliability. If you leave a cartridge unpacked for a long time before using it, normal
printing may not be possible.
❏ Be careful not to break the hooks on the side of the ink cartridge when you remove it from the package.
❏ You must remove the yellow tape from the cartridge before installing it; otherwise, print quality may decline or
you may not be able to print. Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this can cause leakage.

❏ Do not remove the transparent seal from the bottom of the cartridge; otherwise, the cartridge may become
unusable.

151
User's Guide

Replacing Ink Cartridges and Other Consumables

❏ Do not touch the sections shown in the illustration. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing.

❏ Install all ink cartridges; otherwise you cannot print.

❏ Do not replace ink cartridges with the power off. Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may
damage the printer.
❏ Do not turn off the printer during ink charging. If the ink charging is incomplete, you may not be able to print.
❏ Do not leave the printer with the ink cartridges removed or do not turn off the printer during cartridge
replacement. Otherwise, ink remaining in the print head nozzles will dry out and you may not be able to print.
❏ If you need to remove an ink cartridge temporarily, make sure you protect the ink supply area from dirt and
dust. Store the ink cartridge in the same environment as the printer, with the ink supply port facing down or
sideways. Do not store ink cartridges with the ink supply port facing up. Because the ink supply port is
equipped with a valve designed to contain the release of excess ink, there is no need to supply your own covers
or plugs.
❏ Removed ink cartridges may have ink around the ink supply port, so be careful not to get any ink on the
surrounding area when removing the cartridges.
❏ This printer uses ink cartridges equipped with a green chip that monitors information such as the amount of
remaining ink for each cartridge. This means that even if the cartridge is removed from the printer before it is
expended, you can still use the cartridge after reinserting it back into the printer. However, when reinserting a
cartridge, some ink may be consumed to guarantee printer performance.
❏ For maximum ink efficiency, only remove an ink cartridge when you are ready to replace it. Ink cartridges with
low ink status may not be used when reinserted.
❏ To ensure you receive premium print quality and to help protect your print head, a variable ink safety reserve
remains in the cartridge when your printer indicates to replace the cartridge. The yields quoted for you do not
include this reserve.
❏ Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled materials, this does not affect printer function or
performance.
❏ Specifications and appearance of the ink cartridge are subject to change without prior notice for improvement.
❏ Do not disassemble or remodel the ink cartridge, otherwise you may not be able to print normally.
❏ You cannot use the cartridges that came with the printer for the replacement.
❏ Quoted yields may vary depending on the images that you are printing, the paper type that you are using, the
frequency of your prints and environmental conditions such as temperature.

Ink consumption
❏ To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all cartridges during maintenance
operations such as print head cleaning. Ink may also be consumed when you turn on the printer.

152
User's Guide

Replacing Ink Cartridges and Other Consumables

❏ When printing in monochrome or grayscale, color inks instead of black ink may be used depending on the
paper type or print quality settings. This is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.
❏ The ink in the ink cartridges supplied with your printer is partly used during initial setup. In order to produce
high quality printouts, the print head in your printer will be fully charged with ink. This one-off process
consumes a quantity of ink and therefore these cartridges may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink
cartridges.

Replacing Ink Cartridges

When a message is displayed prompting you to replace the ink cartridges, select How To and then view the
animations displayed on the control panel to learn how to replace the ink cartridges.
If you need to replace the ink cartridges before they are expended, select Maintenance > Ink Cartridge
Replacement on the home screen, and then follow the on-screen instructions. Select How To for details.

! Caution:
Be careful not to trap your hand or fingers when opening or closing the scanner unit. Otherwise you may be injured.

Note:
You can continue printing even after the printer indicates that ink is low. However, prepare new ink cartridges as soon as
possible.

& “Ink Cartridge Handling Precautions” on page 151

Maintenance Box Code

Epson recommends the use of a genuine Epson maintenance box.
Maintenance box code: T04D1

c Important:
Once a maintenance box has been installed in a printer it cannot be used with other printers.

Maintenance Box Handling Precautions

Read the following instructions before replacing the maintenance box.
❏ Do not touch the green chip on the side of the maintenance box. Doing so may prevent normal operation and
printing.
❏ Do not drop the maintenance box or subject it to strong shocks.
❏ Do not replace the maintenance box during printing; otherwise, ink may leak.
❏ Do not remove the maintenance box and its cover except when replacing the maintenance box; otherwise ink
may leak.

153
User's Guide

Replacing Ink Cartridges and Other Consumables

❏ When the cover cannot be reattached, the maintenance box may not be installed correctly. Remove the
maintenance box, and re-install it.
❏ Do not tilt the used maintenance box until after it is sealed in the plastic bag; otherwise ink may leak.
❏ Do not touch the openings in the maintenance box as you may get smeared with ink.
❏ Do not reuse a maintenance box which has been removed and left detached for a long period. Ink inside the box
will have solidified and no more ink can be absorbed.
❏ Keep the maintenance box out of direct sunlight.
❏ Do not store the maintenance box in high or freezing temperatures.

Replacing a Maintenance Box

In some print cycles a very small amount of surplus ink may be collected in the maintenance box. To prevent ink
leakage from the maintenance box, the printer is designed to stop printing when the absorbing capacity of the
maintenance box has reached its limit. Whether and how often this is required will vary according to the number
of pages you print, the type of material that you print and the number of cleaning cycles that the printer performs.
When a message is displayed prompting you to replace the maintenance box, refer to the animations displayed on
the control panel. The need for replacement of the box does not mean that your printer has ceased to operate in
accordance with its specifications. The Epson warranty does not cover the cost of this replacement. It is a user-
serviceable part.
Note:
When it is full, you cannot print until the maintenance box is replaced to avoid ink leakage. However, non-printing features
are available.
