Loading Paper
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.

Adjusting the Print Color
You can adjust the colors used in the print job.
PhotoEnhance produces sharper images and more vivid colors by automatically adjusting the contrast, saturation,
and brightness of the original image data.
Note:
❏ ese adjustments are not applied to the original data.
❏ PhotoEnhance adjusts the color by analyzing the location of the subject.
erefore,
if you have changed the location of
the subject by reducing, enlarging, cropping, or rotating the image, the color may change unexpectedly. Selecting the
borderless setting also changes the location of the subject resulting in changes in color. If the image is out of focus, the tone
may be unnatural. If the color is changed or becomes unnatural, print in a mode other than PhotoEnhance.

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.
❏
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.
User's Guide
Replacing Ink Cartridges
98
❏ 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.
❏ 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.
❏
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.
User's Guide

❏ 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. 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.
