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 access point and you can
connect up to four devices to the printer without having to use a standard access point. However, devices directly
connected to the printer cannot communicate with each other through the printer.
Note:
Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) connection is a connection method designed to replace Ad Hoc mode.
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.
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.
Fan and align the edges of the envelopes before loading. When the stacked envelopes are pued up with air,
press them down to atten 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 aps or window envelopes.
Avoid using envelopes that are too thin, as they may curl during printing.

Loading a CD/DVD for Printing
Printable CD/DVDs
You can print on a circular 12-cm CD/DVD labelled as suitable for printing, for example "printable on the label
surface" or "printable with ink jet printers."
You can also print on Blu-ray Discs™.
CD/DVD Handling Precautions
See the documentation provided with your CD/DVD for more information on handling the CD/DVD or
writing data.
Do not print on the CD/DVD before writing your data to it. If you do, ngerprints, dirt, or scratches on the
surface may cause errors while writing data.
Depending on the CD/DVD type or printing data, smearing may occur. Try making a test print on a spare CD/
DVD. Check the printed surface aer waiting for one full day.
Compared to printing on genuine Epson paper, the print density is lowered to prevent ink from smearing on the
CD/DVD. Adjust the print density as necessary from the application or the printer driver.
Allow the printed CD/DVDs at least 24 hours to dry avoiding direct sunlight. Do not stack or insert the CD/
DVDs into your device until they are completely dry.
If the printed surface is sticky even aer it has dried, lower the print density from the application or the printer
driver.
Reprinting on the same CD/DVD may not improve the print quality.
If the CD/DVD tray or the internal transparent compartment are accidentally printed on, immediately wipe o
the ink.
Depending on the print area setting, the CD/DVD or CD/DVD tray may get dirty. Make settings to print on the
printable area.
You can set the print range for the CD/DVD to a minimum of 18 mm for the inner diameter, and a maximum
of 120 mm for the outer diameter. Depending on the settings, the CD/DVD or tray may be smeared. Set within
the print range for the CD/DVD you want to print.

Ink Cartridge Handling Precautions
Read the following instructions before replacing ink cartridges.
User's Guide
Replacing Ink Cartridges and Other Consumables
90
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.
Aer 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.
e
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.
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 o. Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may
damage the printer.
Aer installing the ink cartridge, the power light continues to ash while the printer is charging ink. Do not
turn
o
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 o 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
aect
the printing results or result in an inability to print. If anything gets inside the holder, remove it
carefully.
User's Guide
Replacing Ink Cartridges and Other Consumables
91
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. Place the cap securely until it clicks into place.
If you remove an ink cartridge from the printer for later use, Epson recommends using it up as soon as possible.
is printer uses ink cartridges equipped with a green chip that monitors information such as the amount of
remaining ink for each cartridge. is means that even if the cartridge is removed from the printer before it is
expended, you can still use the cartridge aer reinserting it back into the printer. However, when reinserting a
cartridge, some ink may be consumed to guarantee printer performance.
For maximum ink
eciency,
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. e yields quoted for you do not
include this reserve.
Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled materials, this does not aect printer function or
performance.
Specications 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.
Finish ink cartridge replacement promptly. Do not leave the printer with the ink cartridges removed.
Consumption of Ink
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. is is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.
e
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. is one-o process
consumes a quantity of ink and therefore these cartridges may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink
cartridges.

Maintenance Box Code
Epson recommends the use of a genuine Epson maintenance box.
e following is the code for the genuine Epson maintenance box.
T3661
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 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.
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.
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, prepare a at-head screwdriver and
follow the on-screen instructions.
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 it is full, you cannot print until the maintenance box is replaced to avoid ink leakage.
1. Remove the new maintenance box from its package.
c
Important:
Do not touch the green chip on the side of the maintenance box. Doing so may prevent normal operation and
printing.
Note:
A transparent bag for the used maintenance box is provided with the new maintenance box.

Responsible use of copyrighted materials:
Printers can be misused by improperly copying copyrighted materials. Unless acting on the advice of a
knowledgeable attorney, be responsible and respectful by obtaining the permission of the copyright holder before
copying published material.

cartridge's ink supply port; otherwise, the port will dry out and become unusable when you insert it back into the
printer.
