electric shock.
❏ Be sure your AC power cord meets the relevant local safety standard.
❏ Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the power cord, plug, printer unit, or options by yourself, except
as specifically explained in the printer's manuals.
❏ Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the printer; the printer has been dropped or the casing
damaged; the printer does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Do not adjust
controls that are not covered by the operating instructions.
❏ Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.

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, see a doctor right away.

Important Instructions > Printer Advisories and Warnings > Advisories and Warnings for Transporting or Stori…
❏ 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.
❏ 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 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 flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base of the printer in all directions. The printer
will not operate properly if it is tilted at an angle.
❏ Allow space above the printer so that you can fully raise the printer cover.
❏ Leave enough space in front of the printer for the paper to be fully ejected.
❏ Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Also, keep the printer away from direct
sunlight, strong light, or heat sources.
Advisories and Warnings for Using the Printer

❏ Do not insert objects through the slots in the printer.
❏ Do not put your hand inside the printer during printing.
❏ Do not touch the white flat cable and ink tubes inside the printer.
❏ Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the printer. Doing so may cause fire.
❏ Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may damage the printer.
❏ Prolonged use of the printer when the ink level is below the lower line could damage the printer. Fill the ink
tank to the upper line while the printer is not operating. To display the correct ink level estimates, reset the ink
level after filling the tank.
❏ Always turn the printer off using the P button. Do not unplug the printer or turn off the power at the outlet
until the P light stops flashing.
❏ If you are not going to use the printer for a long period, be sure to unplug the power cord from the electrical
outlet.
Advisories and Warnings for Transporting or Storing the Printer

❏ When storing or transporting the printer, avoid tilting it, placing it vertically, or turning it upside down;
otherwise ink may leak.
❏ Before transporting the printer, make sure that the print head is in the home (far right) position.

*1 In some print cycles a very small amount of surplus ink may be collected in the ink pad. To prevent ink leakage
from the pad, the printer is designed to stop printing when the pad has reached its limit. 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 printer performs. The need for replacement of the pad does not mean that your
printer has ceased to operate in accordance with its specifications. The printer will advise you when the pad
requires replacing and this can only be performed by an authorised Epson Service provider. The Epson warranty
does not cover the cost of this replacement.

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, flatten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on curled
paper may cause paper jams and smears on the printout.
❏ Paper feed problems may occur frequently for manual 2-sided printing when printing on one side of pre-
printed paper. Reduce the number of sheets to half or less, or load one sheet of paper at a time if paper jams
continue.
❏ 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 confirm the paper specifications.
❏ Fan and align the edges of the envelopes before loading. When the stacked envelopes are puffed up with air,
press them down to flatten them before loading.

Improving Print Quality
Checking and Cleaning the Print Head

If the nozzles are clogged, the printouts become faint, there is visible banding, or unexpected colors appear. If the
nozzles are severely clogged, a blank sheet will be printed. When print quality has declined, first use the nozzle
check feature to check if the nozzles are clogged. If the nozzles are clogged, clean the print head.
c Important:
❏ Do not open the front cover or turn off the printer during head cleaning. If the head cleaning is incomplete, you
may not be able to print.
❏ Head cleaning consumes ink and should not be performed more than necessary.
❏ When ink is low, you may not be able to clean the print head.
❏ If print quality has not improved after repeating nozzle check and head cleaning 3 times, wait for at least 12
hours without printing, and then run the nozzle check again and repeat the head cleaning if necessary. We
recommend turning off the printer by using the P button. If print quality has still not improved, run Power
Cleaning.
❏ To prevent the print head from drying out, do not unplug the printer while the power is on.
You can check and clean the print head by using the printer's control panel.
1. Load A4-size plain paper in the printer.
2. Press the P button to turn off the printer.

Running Power Cleaning

The Power Cleaning utility allows you to replace all of the ink inside the ink tubes. In the following situations, you
may need to use this feature to improve the print quality.
❏ You printed or performed head cleaning when the ink levels were too low to be seen in the ink tank windows.
❏ You performed the nozzle check and head cleaning several times and then waited for at least 12 hours without
printing, but print quality still did not improve.
Before running this feature, read the following instructions.
c Important:
Make sure that there is enough ink in the ink tanks.
Visually check all ink tanks are at least a third full. Low ink levels during Power Cleaning could damage the
product.
c Important:
An interval of 12 hours is required between each Power Cleaning.
Normally, a single Power Cleaning should resolve the print quality issue within 12 hours. Therefore, to avoid
unnecessary ink usage, you must wait 12 hours before you try it again.
c Important:
This feature effects the service life of the ink pads. The ink pads reach their capacity earlier by running this feature. If
the ink pads have reached the end of their service life, contact Epson Support to request replacement.
Note:
When the ink levels are insufficient for Power Cleaning, you cannot run this feature. Even in this case, the levels for printing
may remain.

Preventing nozzle clogging

Always use the power button when turning the printer on and off.
Check that the power light is off before you disconnect the power cord.
The 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 left as it is, it will dry out causing nozzles (ink outlets) to clog.
In these cases, turn the printer on and off again as soon as possible to cap the print head.

❏ 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.
❏ Once you open an ink bottle, we recommend using it as soon as possible.
Handling precautions for refilling ink

❏ For optimum print results do not maintain low ink levels for extended periods of time.
❏ Use ink bottles with the correct part code for this printer.
❏ The ink for this printer must be handled carefully. Ink may splatter when the ink tanks are being filled or refilled
with ink. If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.
❏ Do not shake too vigorously or squeeze the ink bottles.
❏ If the ink tank is not filled up to the lower line, refill the ink soon. Prolonged use of the printer when the ink
level is below the lower line could damage the printer.
Ink consumption
❏ To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all ink tanks during maintenance
operations such as print head cleaning. Ink may also be consumed when you turn the printer on.
❏ 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.
❏ The ink in the ink bottles 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. 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.
Refilling the Ink Tanks

1. Open the ink tank cover.
84
2. Open the ink tank cap.
c Important:
Make sure that the color of the ink tank matches the ink color that you want to refill.
3. While holding the ink bottle upright, turn the cap slowly to remove it.
c Important:
❏ Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson ink bottles.
❏ Be careful not to spill any ink.
4. Check the upper line (a) in the ink tank.
85
5. Align the top of the ink bottle with the filling port, and then insert it straight into the port to fill ink until it
stops automatically at the upper line.
When you insert the ink bottle into the filling port for the correct color, ink starts pouring and the flow stops
automatically when the ink reaches the upper line.
If the ink does not start flowing into the tank, remove the ink bottle and reinsert it. However, do not remove
and reinsert the ink bottle when the ink has reached the upper line; otherwise ink may leak.
86
6. When you have finished refilling the ink, remove the ink bottle, and then close the ink tank cap securely.
c Important:
Do not leave the ink bottle inserted; otherwise the bottle may be damaged or ink may leak.
Note:
If any ink remains in the ink bottle, tighten the cap and store the bottle upright for later use.
7. Close the ink tank cover firmly.
