Checking the Ink Levels

Your product will let you know when an ink cartridge is low or expended by displaying a message on its screen or on your computer. You cannot print or copy when an ink cartridge is expended even if the other cartridges are not expended (but you can still scan and view photos on the display screen). Replace any expended cartridges before printing or copying.

Checking the Ink Levels 33

Purchasing Epson Ink Cartridges

You can purchase genuine Epson ink and paper at Epson Supplies CentralSM 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 (you can mix Standard- and High-capacity cartridges):

Color Standard Capacity High Capacity

Black — 98

Cyan 99 98

Magenta 99 98

Yellow 99 98

Light Magenta 99 98

Light Cyan 99 98

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 printer 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 printer ships with full cartridges and part of the ink from the first cartridges is used for priming the printer.

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.

34 Maintaining Your Product

Replacing Ink Cartridges

Make sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. You must install new cartridges immediately after removing the old ones.

Caution:

Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges are vacuum packed to maintain reliability. Leave the expended cartridge(s) installed until you have obtained a replacement, or the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out. If you remove a low or expended cartridge, you cannot reinstall and use it.

1. Turn on the product.

If a cartridge is low or expended, you see a message on the display screen. Note which cartridges need to be replaced and press you’re replacing an expended ink cartridge, follow the instructions on the display screen. (You cannot print until you have replaced any expended ink cartridges.)

If you’re replacing a cartridge before it’s expended, follow the steps below.

2. Raise the scanner.

3. Squeeze the tab on the cartridge and lift it straight up. Dispose of it carefully. Do not take the used cartridge apart or try to refill it.

Warning:

If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and don’t drink the ink.

4. Remove the cartridge from the package. Do not touch the green chip on the side.

5. Remove the yellow tape from the bottom of the cartridge.

Caution:

Do not remove any other labels or seals, or ink will leak.

6. Insert the new cartridge into the holder and push it down until it clicks into place.

7. Close the scanner.

Note:

If you see a warning message that the cartridge you just replaced is not installed, open the scanner and press down the cartridge securely.

Important Safety Instructions

Before using your Epson product, read and follow these safety instructions:

■ Be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.

■ Use only the type of power source indicated on the product label.

■ Use only the power cord that comes with the product. Use of another cord may cause

fires or shock. Do not use the cord with any other equipment. Make sure the power cord meets all relevant local safety standards.

■ Place the product near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.

■ If you won’t be using the product for a long period, unplug the power cord from the

electrical outlet.

■ Always turn off the product using the P On button, and wait until the P On light

stops flashing before unplugging the printer or cutting off power to the electrical outlet.

■ Avoid plugging the product into an outlet on the same circuit as a photocopier or air

conditioning system that regularly switches on and off, or on an outlet controlled by a wall switch or timer.

■ Do not let the power cord become damaged or frayed. Place it to avoid abrasions,

cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do not place objects on top of it and do not allow it to be stepped on or run over. Be careful to keep the cord straight at each end. If damage occurs to the plug, replace the cord or consult a qualified electrician.

■ If you use an extension cord with the product, make sure the total ampere rating of

the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating.

■ 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 its base in all directions.

It will not operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle.

Wireless Network Safety

■ Do not use this product inside medical facilities or near medical equipment. Radio

waves from the product may adversely affect the operation of medical equipment.

■ Keep this product at least 9 inches (22 cm) away from cardiac pacemakers. Radio

waves from this product may adversely affect their operation.

■ Do not use this product near automatically controlled devices such as automatic doors

or fire alarms. Radio waves from this product may adversely affect these devices.

Ink Cartridge Safety

■ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.

■ Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges; there may be ink remaining around

the ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If you still have discomfort or vision problems, see a doctor immediately.

■ Do not put your hand inside the product or touch any cartridges during printing.

■ Do not try to move the print head by hand, or you may damage the product.

■ Before transporting the product, make sure the print head is in the home (far right)

position and the ink cartridges are in place.

■ Install a new ink cartridge immediately after removing an expended one. Leaving

cartridges uninstalled can dry out the print head and may prevent the product from printing.

■ Do not shake ink cartridges after opening their packages, and do not remove the label

from the cartridge itself; this can cause leakage.

■ If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and

dust and store it in the same environment as the product. Note that there is a valve in the ink supply port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent the ink from staining items that the cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink cartridge ink supply port or surrounding area. Do not store the cartridge upside down.

Epson America, Inc., Limited Warranty

What Is Covered: Epson America, Inc. (“Epson”) warrants to the original retail purchaser that the Epson printer covered by this limited warranty statement, if purchased and operated only in the United States or Canada, will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of one (1) year from the date of original purchase. For warranty service, you must provide proof of the date of original purchase.

What Epson Will Do To Correct Problems: Should your Epson printer prove defective during the warranty period, please call the Epson Connection or (905) 709-3839 (Canada) for warranty repair instructions and return authorization. An Epson service technician will provide telephone diagnostic service to determine whether the printer requires service. If service is needed, Epson will, at its option, exchange or repair the printer without charge for parts or labor. If Epson authorizes an exchange for the defective unit, Epson will ship a replacement printer to you, freight prepaid, so long as you use an address in Canada or the U.S. (excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. Possessions). Shipments to other locations will be made freight collect. You are responsible for securely packaging the defective unit and returning it to Epson within five (5) working days of receipt of the replacement. Epson requires a debit or a credit card number to secure the cost of the replacement printer in the event that you fail to return the defective one. If Epson authorizes repair instead of exchange, Epson will direct you to send your printer to Epson or its authorized service center, where the printer will be repaired and sent back to you. You are responsible for packing the printer and for all costs to and from the Epson authorized service center. When warranty service involves the exchange of the printer or a part, the item replaced becomes Epson property. The replacement printer or part may be new or refurbished to the Epson standard of quality, and, at Epson's option, may be another model of like kind and quality. Exchange products and parts assume the remaining warranty period of your original product covered by this limited warranty.

What This Warranty Does Not Cover: This warranty covers only normal use in the United States and Canada. Using this product for continuous production or similar high duty purposes is not considered normal use; damage, maintenance or service from such use will not be covered under this warranty. This warranty is not transferable. This warranty does not cover any color change or fading of prints or reimbursement of materials or services required for reprinting. This warranty does not cover damage to the Epson product caused by parts or supplies not manufactured, distributed or certified by Epson. This warranty does not cover ribbons, ink cartridges or third party parts, components, or peripheral devices added to the Epson product after its shipment from Epson, e.g., dealer or user-added boards or components. Epson is not responsible for warranty service should the Epson label or logo or the rating label or serial number be removed or should the product fail to be properly maintained or fail to function properly as a result of misuse, abuse, improper installation, neglect, improper shipping, damage caused by disasters such as fire, flood, and lightning, improper electrical current, software problems, interaction
