Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) Connection
Use this connection method when you are not using Wi-Fi at home or at the oce, or when you want to connect
the printer and the computer or smart device directly. In this mode, the printer acts as an wireless router and you
can connect the devices to the printer without having to use a standard wireless router. However, devices directly
connected to the printer cannot communicate with each other through the printer.
e printer can be connected by Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) connection simultaneously.
However, if you start a network connection in Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) connection when the printer is connected
by Wi-Fi, the Wi-Fi is temporarily disconnected.

Paper Handling Precautions
Read the instruction sheets supplied with the paper.
To achieve high-quality printouts with genuine Epson paper, use the paper in the environment stated on the
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, atten 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.
Make sure you are using long-grain paper. If you are not sure what type of paper you are using, check the paper
packaging or contact the manufacturer to conrm the paper specications.

Ink Bottle Handling Precautions
Read the following instructions before relling ink.
Storing precautions for ink
Keep the ink bottles out of direct sunlight.
Do not store the ink bottles in high or freezing temperatures.
Aer 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.
Once you open an ink bottle, we recommend using it as soon as possible.
Epson recommends using the ink bottle before the date printed on the package.
Do not open the ink bottle package until you are ready to ll the ink tank. e 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.
When storing or transporting an ink bottle, 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 precautions to prevent ink from leaking when transporting the
bottle, for example, putting the bottle in a bag.
Handling precautions for
relling
ink
e ink for this printer must be handled carefully. Ink may splatter when the ink tank is being lled or relled
with ink. If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come
o.
Use ink bottles with the correct part code for this printer.
Do not shake too vigorously or squeeze the ink bottles.
For optimum print results do not maintain low ink levels for extended periods of time.
To obtain optimum printing results, rell the ink tank to the upper line at least once every year.
To ensure you receive premium print quality and to help protect your print head, a variable ink safety reserve
remains in the ink tank when your printer indicates to rell ink. e yields quoted for you do not include this
reserve.
Ink consumption
To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from the ink tank during maintenance
operations such as print head cleaning. Ink may also be consumed when you turn the printer on.
e ink in the ink bottle 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. is one-o process consumes a
quantity of ink and therefore this bottle 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.

e following is the code for the genuine Epson maintenance box.

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.
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 aer 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 le detached for a long period. Ink inside the box
will have solidied 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.
User's Guide
Relling Ink and Replacing Maintenance Boxes

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 oen 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. e need for replacement of the box does not mean that your printer has ceased to operate in
accordance with its specications. e Epson warranty does not cover the cost of this replacement. It is a user-
serviceable part.
Note:
When the maintenance box is full, you cannot print and clean the print head until it is replaced to avoid ink leakage.
However, you can perform operations that do not use ink such as scanning.

Maintaining the Printer
Preventing the Print Head from Drying
Always use the power button when turning the printer on and o.
Check that the power light is
o
before you disconnect the power cord.
e ink itself can dry out if it is not covered. Just like placing a cap on a fountain pen or an oil pen to prevent it
from drying, make sure the print head is capped properly to prevent the ink from drying.
When the power cord is unplugged or a power outage occurs while the printer is in operation, the print head may
not be capped properly. If the print head is
le
as it is, it will dry out causing nozzles (ink outlets) to clog.
In these cases, turn the printer on and o again as soon as possible to cap the print head.
Check if Nozzles are Clogged (Nozzle Check)
If the nozzles are clogged, the printouts become faint or visible banding appears.
When print quality has declined, rst use the nozzle check feature to check if the nozzles are clogged.

You may not be able to connect to the wireless router when the wireless router has multiple SSIDs and devices
are connected to
dierent
SSIDs on the same wireless router. Connect the computer or smart device to the same
SSID as the printer.
A wireless router that is compliant with both IEEE802.11a and IEEE802.11g has SSIDs of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. If
you connect the computer or smart device to a 5 GHz SSID, you cannot connect to the printer because the
printer only supports communication over 2.4 GHz. Connect the computer or smart device to the same SSID as
the printer.
Most wireless routers have a privacy separator feature that blocks communication between connected devices. If
you cannot communicate between the printer and the computer or smart device even if they are connected to
the same network, disable the privacy separator on the wireless router. See the manual provided with the
wireless router for details.
