Advisories and Warnings for Setting Up/Using the Printer

❏ Do not block or cover the vents and openings in the printer.
❏ Use only the type of power source indicated on the printer's label.
❏ Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.
❏ Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers.
❏ Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as
loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.
❏ The power-supply cords should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do not place
objects on top of the power-supply cords and do not allow the power-supply cords to be stepped on or run over.
Be particularly careful to keep all the power-supply cords straight at the ends and the points where they enter
and leave the transformer.
❏ If you use an extension cord with the printer, make sure that the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into
the extension cord does not exceed the cord's ampere rating. Also, make sure that the total ampere rating of all
devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet's ampere rating.
❏ If you plan to use the printer in Germany, the building installation must be protected by a 10 or 16 amp circuit
breaker to provide adequate short-circuit protection and over-current protection for the printer.
❏ When connecting the printer to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the correct orientation of the
connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a connector in the wrong orientation
may damage both devices connected by the cable.
❏ Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base of the printer in all directions. The printer
will not operate properly if it is tilted at an angle.
❏ When storing or transporting the printer, avoid tilting it, placing it vertically, or turning it upside down;
otherwise ink may leak.
❏ Allow space above the printer so that you can fully raise the document cover.
❏ Leave enough space in front of the printer for the paper to be fully ejected.
❏ Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Also, keep the printer away from direct
sunlight, strong light, or heat sources.
❏ Do not insert objects through the slots in the printer.
❏ Do not put your hand inside the printer during printing.
❏ Do not touch the white flat cable inside the printer.
❏ Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the printer. Doing so may cause fire.
❏ Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may damage the printer.
❏ Be careful not to trap your fingers when closing the scanner unit.
❏ Do not press too hard on the scanner glass when placing the originals.

❏ Always turn the printer off using the P button. Do not unplug the printer or turn off the power at the outlet
until the P light stops flashing.
❏ Before transporting the printer, make sure that the print head is in the home (far right) position and the ink
cartridges are in place.
❏ If you are not going to use the printer for a long period, be sure to unplug the power cord from the electrical
outlet.

Paper Handling Precautions

❏ Read the instruction sheets supplied with the paper.
❏ Fan and align the edges of the paper before loading. Do not fan or curl photo paper. Doing so may damage the
printable side.

❏ If the paper is curled, flatten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on curled
paper may cause paper jams and smears on the printout.

❏ Do not use paper that is wavy, torn, cut, folded, damp, too thick, too thin, or paper that has stickers stuck to it.
Using these types of paper causes paper jams and smears on the printout.
❏ Fan and align the edges of the envelopes before loading. When the stacked envelopes are puffed up with air,
press them down to flatten them before loading.

❏ Do not use envelopes that are curled or folded. Using these envelopes causes paper jams and smears on the
printout.
❏ Do not use envelopes with adhesive surfaces on the flaps or window envelopes.
❏ Avoid using envelopes that are too thin, as they may curl during printing.

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.

78
User's Guide

Replacing Ink Cartridges

❏ 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.
❏ After installing the ink cartridge, the power light continues to flash while the printer is charging ink. 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.
❏ Be careful not to let dust or any objects get inside the ink cartridge holder. Anything inside the holder may
adversely affect the printing results or result in an inability to print. If anything gets inside the holder, remove it
carefully.
❏ If you remove the cartridge from the printer for later use or to dispose of it, make sure you put the cap back on
the cartridge’s ink supply port to prevent ink from drying out or to prevent surrounding areas from getting
smeared by ink.

❏ 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.

79
User's Guide

Replacing Ink Cartridges

❏ 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.
❏ Finish ink cartridge replacement promptly. Do not leave the printer with the ink cartridges removed.

Ink Consumption
❏ To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all cartridges not only during
printing but also during maintenance operations such as ink cartridge replacement and print head cleaning.
❏ 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

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

c Important:
Finish ink cartridge replacement promptly. Do not leave the printer with the ink cartridges removed.
