❏ 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.

❏ 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.

Paper Handling Precautions

❏ Read the instruction sheets supplied with the paper.

❏ To achieve high-quality printouts with genuine Epson paper, use the paper in the environment stated on the

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,

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.

❏ Make sure you are using long-grain paper. If you are not sure what type of paper you are using, check the paper

Outputting Paper

❏ Printed paper is ejected to the output tray with the printed side facing down. For A4 size plain paper (with a

thickness of 80g/m²), up to 100 sheets can be ejected at a time. Outputting more than 100 sheets may cause paper to fall or a paper jam to occur. Remove any excess paper so that it does not exceed the maximum number of sheets that can be ejected.

❏ When you load thick paper or business card size paper, lower the output switch lever to output paper to the

Maintenance Box Handling Precautions

Read the following instructions before replacing the maintenance box.

❏ Do not touch the green chip on the side of the maintenance box. Doing so may prevent normal operation and

printing.

❏ Do not drop the maintenance box or subject it to strong shocks.

❏ Do not replace the maintenance box during printing; otherwise, ink may leak.

❏ Do not remove the maintenance box and its cover except when replacing the maintenance box; otherwise ink

may leak.

❏ When the cover cannot be reattached, the maintenance box may not be installed correctly. Remove the

maintenance box, and re-install it.

❏ Do not tilt the used maintenance box until aer it is sealed in the plastic bag; otherwise ink may leak.

❏ Do not touch the openings in the maintenance box as you may get smeared with ink.

❏ Keep the maintenance box out of direct sunlight.

❏ Do not store the maintenance box in high or freezing temperatures.

Replacing a Maintenance Box

In some print cycles a very small amount of surplus ink may be collected in the maintenance box. To prevent ink leakage from the maintenance box, the printer is designed to stop printing when the absorbing capacity of the maintenance box has reached its limit. Whether and how oen 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.
