Using Special Papers

Placing Originals for Copying, Scanning, or Faxing

Before you copy, scan, or fax, place your documents on the scanner glass or in the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF). Place photos on the scanner glass only.

Using the Scanner Glass

You can place a photo or a document up to letter-size (or A4-size) on the scanner glass.

1. Open the document cover.

2. Place your original facedown on the scanner glass, with the top against the back left corner.

3. Close the cover gently to keep your original in place.

Using the Automatic Document Feeder

You can place up to 30 letter- or A4-size sheets or 10 legal-size sheets in the ADF.

1. Open the ADF paper support, and then move the edge guide outward.

2. Fan the originals, then tap them on a flat surface to even the edges.

Placing Originals for Copying, Scanning, or Faxing

3. Insert the originals faceup, top edge first.

4. Slide the edge guide against the originals, but not too tightly.

You can copy a photo onto 4 × 6-inch (102 × 152 mm), 5 × 7-inch (127 × 178 mm), letter-size, or A4-size Epson photo paper (various types available) for instant photo reprints.

1. Load paper in the sheet feeder.

2. Place your original document or photo on the scanner glass, or load your documents in the ADF (see page 5).

Maintaining Your Product

Follow the instructions in this chapter to check and clean the print head nozzles, check ink levels, and replace ink cartridges. If you need to align the print head, see the online User’s Guide.

Caution: To keep your product looking like new, don’t place anything on top of the cover or use it as a writing surface. If you need to clean the cover, use only a soft, nonabrasive microfiber-type cloth.

Checking the Print Head Nozzles

If your printouts are faint or have gaps in them, some of the nozzles in the print head may be clogged or ink may be running low in one or more of the ink cartridges. Follow the steps below to check the print head nozzles.

1. Load a few sheets of plain paper in the sheet feeder.

Cleaning the Print Head

If print quality has declined and the nozzle check indicates clogged nozzles, you can clean the print head. Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if necessary.

Note: You cannot clean the print head if an ink cartridge is expended, and may not be able to clean it when a cartridge is low. You must replace the cartridge first (see page 24).

Cleaning lasts around 2 1/2 minutes. When it’s finished, you see a message on the LCD screen.

Caution: Never turn off the product during head cleaning or you may damage it.

5. Press 2 to run a nozzle check and confirm that the print head is clean.

Note: If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning the print head four times, turn off your product and wait at least six hours to let any dried ink soften. Then try cleaning the print head again. If quality does not improve, one of the ink cartridges may need to be replaced. If that doesn’t help, contact Epson as described on page 30.

If you do not use your product often, it is a good idea to print a few pages at least once a month to maintain good print quality.

Checking Ink Levels

You can check the ink levels anytime right on the LCD screen. To check the ink levels with your Windows or Mac OS X software, see the instructions in your online User’s Guide.

Note: Printing stops when an ink cartridge is expended. If a color cartridge is expended, you may be able to continue printing temporarily with black ink; see the online User’s Guide for more information. If the black cartridge is expended, you must replace it to continue printing.

Purchasing Epson Ink Cartridges

You can purchase genuine Epson ink and paper at Epson Supplies Central at www.epson.com/ink3 (U.S. sales) or www.epson.ca (Canadian sales). You can also purchase supplies from an Epson authorized reseller. To find the nearest one, call 800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766).

Use the following list when you order or purchase new ink cartridges:

Moderate-capacity

Ink color

Black 124 126 Cyan 124 126 Magenta 124 126 Yellow 124 126

Note: We recommend that you use genuine Epson cartridges and do not refill them. The use of other products may affect your print quality and could result in product damage.

Yields vary considerably based on images printed, print settings, paper type, frequency of use, and temperature. For print quality, a small amount of ink remains in the cartridge after the “replace cartridge” indicator comes on. The product ships with full cartridges and part of the ink from the first cartridges is used for priming the product.

For best printing results, use up a cartridge within six months of opening the package and before the expiration date on the cartridge box.

Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. If cartridges have been exposed to cold temperatures, allow them to warm up to room temperature for at least 3 hours before using them.
