Paper Handling
Introduction to Using, Loading, and Storing Media
You can achieve good results with most types of plain paper. However, coated papers provide superior prints because
they absorb less ink.
Epson provides special papers that are formulated for the ink used in Epson ink jet products, and recommends these
papers to ensure high-quality results.
When loading special paper distributed by Epson, read the instruction sheets packed with the paper first and keep the
following points in mind.
Note:
Load the paper into the rear paper feed printable side up. The printable side is usually whiter or glossier. See the
instruction sheets packed with the paper for more information. Some types of paper have cut corners to help identify the
correct loading direction.
If the paper is curled, flatten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on curled paper may
cause ink to smear on your prints.
Storing paper
Return unused paper to the original package as soon as you finish printing. When handling special media, Epson
recommends storing your prints in a resealable plastic bag. Keep unused paper and prints away from high
temperature, humidity, and direct sunlight.
Selecting Paper
Refer to the table below for the loading capacities of paper and other media.

Paper type settings from the printer driver
The product automatically adjusts itself for the type of paper you select in your print settings. That is why the paper
type setting is so important. It tells your product what kind of paper you are using and adjusts the ink coverage
accordingly. The table below lists the settings you should choose for your paper.

Note:
The thickness of envelopes and their ability to fold vary widely. If the total thickness of the stack of envelopes
exceeds the limit for plain paper, press down on the envelopes to flatten them before loading. If print quality
declines when a stack of envelopes is loaded, load one envelope at a time.
Do not use envelopes that are curled or folded.
Flatten the envelope and the flaps before loading.
Flatten the leading edge of the envelope before loading.
Avoid using envelopes that are too thin, as they may curl during printing.
Align the edges of the envelopes before loading.

Ink Bottle Safety Instructions, Precautions, and
Specifications
Safety instructions
Observe the following when handling the ink:
Keep ink bottles and the ink tank unit out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to drink from or handle
the ink bottles and ink bottle cap.
Do not tilt or shake an ink bottle after removing its seal; this can cause leakage.
Be careful not to touch any ink when you handle the ink tanks, ink tank caps, and opened ink bottles or ink bottle
caps.
If ink gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water.
If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems continue after a
thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.
If ink gets into your mouth, spit it out immediately and see a doctor right away.
Precautions on refilling ink
Read all of the instructions in this section before refilling ink.
Use ink bottles with the correct part number for this product.
& “Ink Bottle Information” on page 35
Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson ink bottles. 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 product behavior.
Other products not manufactured by Epson may cause damage that is not covered by Epson’s warranties, and
under certain circumstances, may cause erratic product behavior.
This product requires careful handling of ink. Ink may splatter when the ink tanks are filled or refilled with ink. If
ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.
To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all ink tanks not only during printing
but also during maintenance operation such as print head cleaning.
Do not open the ink bottle package until you are ready to fill the ink tank. The ink bottle is vacuum packed to
maintain its reliability. If you leave an ink bottle unpacked for a long time before using it, normal printing may not
be possible.
If any of the ink tanks are not filled up to the lower line, refill the ink soon. Continued use of the product when the
ink level is below the lower line on the tanks could damage the product.
User’s Guide
Refilling Ink
36
After bringing an ink bottle inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least
three hours before using it.
Store ink bottles in a cool, dark place.
Store the ink bottles in the same environment as the product. When storing or transporting an ink bottle after
removing its seal, do not tilt the bottle and do not subject it to impacts or temperature changes. Otherwise, ink may
leak even if the cap on the ink bottle is tightened securely. Be sure to keep the ink bottle upright when tightening
the cap, and take measures to prevent ink from leaking when you transport the bottle.
Ink bottle specifications
Epson recommends using the ink bottle before the date printed on the package.
The ink bottles packaged with your product are partly used during initial setup. In order to produce high quality
printouts, the print head in your product will be fully charged with ink. This one-off process consumes a quantity
of ink and therefore these bottles may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink bottles.
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.
Although the ink bottles may contain recycled materials, this does not affect product function or performance.
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.
Checking the Ink Levels
To confirm the actual ink remaining, visually check the ink levels in all of the product’s tanks.
c
Important:
If any of the ink tanks are not filled up to the lower line, fill them to the upper line on the ink tank. Continued use of
the product when the ink level is below the lower line on the tanks could damage the product.
This printer has two black ink tanks. Make sure the ink level for both ink tanks is above the lower line.

Next, turn on the product and press the H button for 3
seconds until the P light starts flashing to start
charging ink. Charging ink takes about 20 minutes.
Wait until the P light stays on.
*1 In some print cycles a very small amount of surplus ink may be collected in the ink pad. To prevent ink leakage from the pad, the
product is designed to stop printing when the pad 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 product performs.
The need for replacement of the pad does not mean that your product has ceased to operate in accordance with its specifications.
The product will advise you when the pad requires replacing and this can only be performed by an authorised Epson Service
provider. The Epson warranty does not cover the cost of this replacement.
