e 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 you connect from a computer or smart device to the printer using the Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) connection, the printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network (SSID) as the computer or smart device and the communication is established between them. Since the computer or smart device is automatically connected to the other connectable Wi-Fi network if the printer is turned o, it is not connected to the previous Wi-Fi network again if the printer is turned on. Connect to the printer's SSID for Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) connection from the computer or smart device again.

Paper Handling Precautions

Read the instruction 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, atten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on curled
paper may cause paper jams and smears on the printout.
Do not use paper that is wavy, torn, cut, folded, damp, too thick, too thin, or paper that has stickers stuck to it.
Using these types of paper causes paper jams and smears on the printout.
Fan and align the edges of the envelopes before loading. When the stacked envelopes are pued up with air,
press them down to atten them before loading.
Do not use envelopes that are curled or folded. Using these envelopes causes paper jams and smears on the

Do not use envelopes with adhesive surfaces on the aps or window envelopes.

Ink Cartridge Handling Precautions

Read the following instructions before replacing ink cartridges.
Handling precautions
Store ink cartridges at normal room temperature and keep them away from direct sunlight.
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.
Aer 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. e 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 leave the printer with the ink cartridges removed or do not turn o 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.
