Product Advisories and Warnings

Read and follow these instructions to avoid damaging the product or your property. Make sure you keep this guide for
future reference.
Setting up/using the product

Do not block or cover the vents and openings in the product.
Use only the type of power source indicated on the products label.
Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.
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.
Users Guide
The 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 product, make sure that the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into
the extension cord does not exceed the cords ampere rating. Also, make sure that the total ampere rating of all
devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlets ampere rating.
If you plan to use the product 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 product.
When connecting the product 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 product on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base of the product in all directions. If you place
the product by the wall, leave more than 10 cm between the back of the product and the wall. The product will not
operate properly if it is tilted at an angle.
When storing or transporting the product, avoid tilting it, placing it vertically, or turning it upside down;
otherwise ink may leak.
Allow spaces behind the product for the cables, and space above the product so that you can fully raise the
document cover.
Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Also, keep the product away from direct
sunlight, strong light, or heat sources.
Do not insert objects through the slots in the product.
Do not put your hand inside the product during printing.
Do not touch the white flat cable and ink tubes inside the product.
Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the product. Doing so may cause
fire.
Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may damage the product.
Always turn the product off using the P button. Do not unplug the product or turn off the power at the outlet until
the P light stops flashing.
Before transporting the product, make sure that the print head is in the home (far right) position.
Be careful not to trap your fingers when closing the scanner unit.
Do not continue printing when the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank. Continued use of the product
when the ink level is below the lower line could damage the product. Epson recommends filling all ink tanks to the
upper line when the product is not operating to reset the ink levels. If the ink tank is filled as specified above, this
product provides an alert and stops operating at the estimated time so that the ink levels do not fall below the lower
line on the ink tank.
If you are not going to use the product for a long period, be sure to unplug the power cord from the electrical
outlet.

Users Guide
Do not press too hard on the scanner glass when placing the originals.
During the life of your product it may be necessary to replace the waste ink pad when it has become full. 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. Epson Status Monitor, your LCD, or lights on
the control panel will advise you when this part needs replacing. The need for replacement of the pad does not
mean that your product has ceased to operate in accordance with its specifications. The replacement of this part is
a routine product servicing activity within the products specification and is not a problem which requires repair.
The Epson warranty does not therefore cover the cost of this replacement. If your product needs the pad replaced
this can be performed for you by any authorised Epson service provider. It is not a user-serviceable part.
Handling ink
We will provide ink-related safety instructions and product advice/warnings in the linked section.

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.

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 Bottles on page 97
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 Epsons warranties, and
under certain circumstances, may cause erratic product behavior.
Other products not manufactured by Epson may cause damage that is not covered by Epsons 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 the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank, refill the ink soon. Continued use of the product when the ink
level is below the lower line on the tank could damage the product.
59
Users Guide
Refilling Ink
Do not continue printing when the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank. Continued use of the product
when the ink level is below the lower line could damage the product. Epson recommends filling all ink tanks to the
upper line when the product is not operating to reset the ink levels. If the ink tank is filled as specified above, this
product provides an alert and stops operating at the estimated time so that the ink levels do not fall below the lower
line on the ink tank.
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.
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 product indicates to refill ink. The yields quoted for you do not include this
reserve.
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 the products ink tanks.
c IfImportant:
the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank, fill it to the upper line on the ink tank. Continued use of the
product when the ink level is below the lower line on the tank could damage the product.

The illustrations show how to refill the black ink. However, the instructions are the same for all of the inks.

Cleaning the Print Head

If you find that the printout is unexpectedly faint or that dots are missing, you may be able to solve these problems by
cleaning the print head, which ensures that the nozzles are delivering ink properly.
You can clean the print head from your computer using the Head Cleaning utility in the printer driver or from the
product by using the buttons.
Important:
c Do
not turn off the product during head cleaning. If the head cleaning is incomplete, you may not be able to print.
Note:
Because print head cleaning uses some ink from all tanks, clean the print head only if quality declines; for example, if the
printout is blurry or the color is incorrect or missing.
Use the Nozzle Check utility first to confirm that the print head needs to be cleaned. This saves ink.
When ink is low you may not be able to clean the print head. Prepare a new ink bottle.
If print quality has not improved after repeating this procedure about three times, use the Power Ink Flushing utility.

to replace the ink inside the ink tubes to solve the problem.
The Power Ink Flushing utility allows you to replace all of the ink inside the ink tubes.
Important:
c This
