Printer Advisories and Warnings
Read and follow these instructions to avoid damaging the printer or your property. Make sure you keep this manual for future reference.
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 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 at, 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 document 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 at cable inside the printer.  Do not use aerosol products that contain ammable 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.  Be careful not to trap your fingers when closing the scanner unit.  Do not press too hard on the scanner glass when placing the originals.

 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.
Advisories and Warnings for Using the Printer with a Wireless Connection
 Radio waves from this printer may negatively affect the operation of medical electronic equipment, causing them to malfunction. When using this printer inside medical facilities or near medical equipment, follow directions from the authorized personnel representing the medical facilities, and follow all posted warnings and directions on the medical equipment.

If the error continues to occur after turning the power off and on again, contact Epson support.

*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.

Therefore, 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.

User's Guide

Replacing Ink Cartridges

Handling precautions
 Keep the ink cartridges out of direct sunlight.
 Do not store the ink cartridges in high or freezing temperatures.
 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.
 After 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. The 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.
 Be careful not to break the hooks on the side of the ink cartridge when you remove it from the package.
 You must remove the yellow tape from the cartridge before installing it; otherwise, print quality may decline or you may not be able to print. Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this can cause leakage.

 Do not remove the transparent seal from the bottom of the cartridge; otherwise, the cartridge may become unusable.

Replacing Ink Cartridges

 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 off. Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may
damage the printer.  After installing the ink cartridge, the power and ink light will continues to ash while the printer is charging
ink. Do not turn off 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 off the printer during cartridge replacement. Otherwise, ink remaining in the print head nozzles will dry out and you may not be able to print.  If you need to remove an ink cartridge temporarily, make sure you protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust. Store the ink cartridge in the same environment as the printer, with the ink supply port facing down or sideways. Do not store ink cartridges with the ink supply port facing up. Because the ink supply port is equipped with a valve designed to contain the release of excess ink, there is no need to supply your own covers or plugs.  Removed ink cartridges may have ink around the ink supply port, so be careful not to get any ink on the surrounding area when removing the cartridges.  This printer uses ink cartridges equipped with a green chip that monitors information such as the amount of remaining ink for each cartridge. This means that even if the cartridge is removed from the printer before it is expended, you can still use the cartridge after reinserting it back into the printer. However, when reinserting a cartridge, some ink may be consumed to guarantee printer performance.  For maximum ink efficiency, 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. The yields quoted for you do not include this reserve.  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.
Ink consumption  To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all cartridges during maintenance
operations. Ink may also be consumed when you replace ink cartridge or 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.

Replacing Ink Cartridges

 The 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. This one-off process consumes a quantity of ink and therefore these cartridges may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink cartridges.

Maintaining the Printer

Preventing the Print Head from Drying
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.
Checking and Cleaning the Print Head
If the nozzles are clogged, the printouts become faint, there is visible banding, or unexpected colors appear. When print quality has declined, use the nozzle check feature and check if the nozzles are clogged. If the nozzles are clogged, clean the print head.
c Important:
 Do not open the scanner unit or turn o the printer during head cleaning. If the head cleaning is incomplete, you may not be able to print.
 Because print head cleaning uses some ink, clean the print head only if quality declines.  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 about four times, wait for at
least six hours without printing, and then run the nozzle check again and repeat the head cleaning if necessary. We recommend to turn o the printer. If print quality has still not improved, contact Epson support.  To prevent the print head from drying out, do not unplug the printer while the power is on.

*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.

 You may not be able to connect to the wireless router when the wireless router has multiple SSIDs and devices are connected to different SSIDs on the same wireless router. Connect the computer or smart device to the same SSID as the printer.

 A wireless router that is compliant with both IEEE802.11a and IEEE802.11g has SSIDs of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. If you connect the computer or smart device to a 5 GHz SSID, you cannot connect to the printer because the printer only supports communication over 2.4 GHz. Connect the computer or smart device to the same SSID as the printer.

 Most wireless routers have a privacy separator feature that blocks communication between connected devices. If you cannot communicate between the printer and the computer or smart device even if they are connected to the same network, disable the privacy separator on the wireless router.

Print Quality is Poor
Check the following if the print quality is poor due to blurry prints, banding, missing colors, faded colors, and misalignment in the prints.
Checking the printer  Perform a nozzle check, and then clean the print head if any of the print head nozzles are clogged.  Align the print head.
Checking the paper  Use paper supported by this printer.  Do not print on paper that is damp, damaged, or too old.  If the paper is curled or the envelope is puffed up, atten it.  Do not stack the paper immediately after printing.  Dry the printouts completely before filing or displaying them. When drying the printouts, avoid direct sun light,
do not use a dryer, and do not touch the printed side of paper.  When printing images or photos, Epson recommends using genuine Epson paper rather than plain paper. Print
on the printable side of the genuine Epson paper.
Checking the print settings  Select the appropriate paper type setting for the type of paper loaded in the printer.  Print using a higher quality setting.
Checking the ink cartridge  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.  Try to use genuine Epson ink cartridges. This product is designed to adjust colors based on the use of genuine
Epson ink cartridges. The use of non-genuine ink cartridges may cause print quality to decline.
