Advisories and Warnings for Setting Up the Printer
❏ Do not block or cover the vents and openings in the printer.
❏ Use only the type of power source indicated on the printer's label.
❏ Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and o.
❏ Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers.
❏ Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as
loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.
❏ e 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 printer, 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 printer 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 printer.
❏ When connecting the printer 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 printer on a

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.

Loading Envelopes and Precautions
Load envelopes in the center of the rear paper feed slot short edge rst with the ap facing down, and slide the
edge guides to the edges of the envelopes.
Load envelopes in the paper cassette with the ap facing up, and then slide the edge guides to the edges of the
envelopes.
❏ 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.

Outputting Paper
❏ Printed paper is ejected to the output tray with the printed side facing down. For A4 size plain paper (with a
thickness of 80g/m²), up to 100 sheets can be ejected at a time. Outputting more than 100 sheets may cause
paper to fall or a paper jam to occur. Remove any excess paper so that it does not exceed the maximum number
of sheets that can be ejected.
❏ When you load thick paper or business card size paper, lower the output switch lever to output paper to the
front of the printer. We also recommend outputting envelopes to the front of the printer.

Ink Bottle Handling Precautions
Read the following instructions before relling ink.
Storing precautions for ink
❏ Keep the ink bottles out of direct sunlight.
User's Guide
Relling Ink and Replacing Maintenance Boxes
53
❏ 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 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.

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.

❏ 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.
Replace the maintenance box when you are promoted to do so. e Epson Status Monitor, your LCD, or lights on

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.
