❏ 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 product, 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 product 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 product.
❏ When connecting the product 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 product on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base of the product in all directions. If you place
the product by the wall, leave more than 10 cm between the back of the product and the wall. The product will not
operate properly if it is tilted at an angle.
❏ When storing or transporting the product, avoid tilting it, placing it vertically, or turning it upside down;
otherwise ink may leak.
❏ Allow spaces behind the product for the cables, and space above the product so that you can fully raise the
document cover.
❏ Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Also, keep the product away from direct
sunlight, strong light, or heat sources.
❏ Do not insert objects through the slots in the product.
❏ Do not put your hand inside the product during printing.
❏ Do not touch the white flat cable and ink tubes inside the product.
❏ Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the product. Doing so may cause
fire.
❏ Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may damage the product.
❏ Always turn the product off using the P button. Do not unplug the product or turn off the power at the outlet until
the P light stops flashing.
❏ Before transporting the product, make sure that the print head is in the home (far right) position.
❏ Be careful not to trap your fingers when closing the scanner unit.
❏ Do not continue printing when the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank. Continued use of the product
when the ink level is below the lower line could damage the product. Epson recommends filling all ink tanks to the
upper line when the product is not operating to reset the ink levels. If the ink tank is filled as specified above, this
product provides an alert and stops operating at the estimated time so that the ink levels do not fall below the lower
line on the ink tank.
❏ If you are not going to use the product for a long period, be sure to unplug the power cord from the electrical
outlet.
