P
Before transporting the Stylus Scan, make sure the print head
❏
is in the home (far right) position and the ink cartridges are
in place.
When handling the ink cartridges
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. Do not allow
❏
children to drink from or otherwise handle the cartridges.
If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it
❏
gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water.
Do not shake the ink cartridges; this can cause leakage.
❏
Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from
❏
its package. Leaving the cartridge unpacked for a long time
before use may result in reduced print quality.
Once you install an ink cartridge, do not open the clamp or
❏
remove the cartridge except to replace it with a new one.
Otherwise, the cartridge may become unusable.
Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the
❏
cartridge carton. For best results, use up the ink cartridges
within six months of installing them.
Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them. Doing
❏
so may damage the print head.
When choosing a place for the Stylus Scan
Place the EPSON Stylus Scan on a flat, stable surface that
❏
extends beyond the Stylus Scan base in all directions. The
Stylus Scan will not operate properly if it is tilted or at an
angle.
Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and
❏
humidity. Also, keep the Stylus Scan away from direct
sunlight, strong light, and heat sources.
Safety Instructions

Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations.
❏
Leave enough room around the Stylus Scan to allow for
❏
sufficient ventilation.
Place the Stylus Scan near a wall outlet where the plug can be
❏
easily unplugged.

Loading Paper
This chapter explains how to load paper and other media into the
paper feeder for printing and copying, and describes proper
handling of these media. For information on feeding documents
into the document feeder, see chapters 8 and 9.
Loading Plain Paper
Follow these steps to load plain paper into the Stylus Scan for
printing or copying.
1. Lower the output tray and slide out the extension. Next, slide
the left paper edge guide so that the distance between the edge
guides is slightly wider than the width of your paper.
2. Fan a stack of paper; then tap it on a flat surface to even the
edges.
3. Load the stack of paper with the printable side up and the
right edge of the paper resting against the right edge guide of
the paper feeder. Then slide the left edge guide against the
left edge of the paper.
3-2
Loading the Paper
Note:
❏
Always load plain paper into the paper feeder short edge first.
❏
Make sure the paper stack fits under the arrow mark inside the
edge guide.
❏
Remove any documents from the document feeder before
printing using the paper feeder.
Loading Special Paper and Other Media
You can achieve good results with most plain bond paper.
However, coated paper and glossy film result in higher quality
printouts because these media absorb smaller amounts of ink.
You can print on a wide variety of special media, including ink
jet paper, photo quality glossy film, photo paper, transparencies,
index cards, and adhesive sheets.
EPSON distributes special media that are formulated for the ink
used in EPSON ink jet devices. It is recommended that you use
these media to ensure high-quality results. See “EPSON special
media” on page 13-3 for a complete list of these products.
When loading special media distributed by EPSON, read the
instructions included with the media and keep the following
points in mind.

Make sure the printable side of the paper is facing up when

loading media into the paper feeder. See the instruction sheets
packed with the media to determine which side is the
printable surface. Some media have cut corners to help
identify the correct loading direction, as shown in the
illustration.
