Safety Instructions
Read and follow these instructions to ensure safe use of this printer. Make sure you keep this manual for future reference. Also, be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the printer.
Some of the symbols used on your printer are to ensure safety and proper use of the printer. Visit the following Web site to learn the meaning of the symbols.
http://support.epson.net/symbols
Use only the power cord supplied with the printer and do not use the cord with any other equipment. Use of other cords with this printer or the use of the supplied power cord with other equipment may result in fire or electric shock.
Be sure your AC power cord meets the relevant local safety standard.
Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the power cord, plug, printer unit, or options by yourself, except as specifically explained in the printer's manuals.
Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the printer; the printer has been dropped or the casing damaged; the printer does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Do not adjust controls that are not covered by the operating instructions.
Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.
Do not place or store the printer outdoors, near excessive dirt or dust, water, heat sources, or in locations subject to shocks, vibrations, high temperature or humidity.
Take care not to spill liquid on the printer and not to handle the printer with wet hands.
Safety Instructions for Ink
Be careful not to touch ink when you handle the ink tank, ink tank cap, and opened ink bottle or ink bottle cap.
If ink gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water.
If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems continue after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.
If ink gets into your mouth, see a doctor right away.
Do not disassemble the maintenance box; otherwise ink may get into your eyes or on your skin.
Do not shake an ink bottle too vigorously or subject it to strong impacts as this can cause ink to leak.
Keep ink bottle, the ink tank unit, and maintenance box out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to drink from or handle the ink bottle and ink bottle cap.

Important Instructions
Advisories and Warnings for Setting Up the Printer
Do not block or cover the vents and openings in the printer.
Use only the type of power source indicated on the printer's label.
Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.
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.
The 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 connecting the printer 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 printer on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base of the printer in all directions. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted at an angle.
Allow space above the printer so that you can fully raise the printer cover.
Leave enough space in front of the printer for the paper to be fully ejected.
Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Also, keep the printer away from direct sunlight, strong light, or heat sources.
Advisories and Warnings for Using the Printer
Do not insert objects through the slots in the printer.
Do not put your hand inside the printer during printing.
Do not touch the white flat cable and ink tubes inside the printer.
Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the printer. Doing so may cause fire.
Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may damage the printer.
Always turn the printer off using the P button. Do not unplug the printer or turn off the power at the outlet until the P light stops flashing.
If you are not going to use the printer for a long period, be sure to unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
Advisories and Warnings for Transporting or Storing the Printer
When storing or transporting the printer, avoid tilting it, placing it vertically, or turning it upside down; otherwise ink may leak.

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, flatten 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.
Make sure you are using long-grain paper. If you are not sure what type of paper you are using, check the paper packaging or contact the manufacturer to confirm the paper specifications.

5.Slide the edge guides to the edges of the paper.
6.Insert the paper cassette gently.
7.Close the paper cassette cover when loading paper shorter than A4 size.
8.When you load business card size paper, lower the output switch lever to output the paper to the front of the printer.
Note:
We also recommend outputting envelopes to the front of the printer.
For letterhead paper, select Letterhead as the paper type.
For letterhead paper, if you print on paper that is smaller than the setting in the printer driver, the printer may print beyond the edges of the paper which can lead to ink smears on your printouts and excess ink building up inside the printer. Make sure you select the correct paper size setting.
2-sided printing is not available for letterhead paper. Also, the print speed may be slower.

Load envelopes in the center of the rear paper feed slot short edge first with the flap facing down, and slide the edge guides to the edges of the envelopes.
Load envelopes in the paper cassette with the flap facing up, and then slide the edge guides to the edges of the envelopes.
Fan and align the edges of the envelopes before loading. When the stacked envelopes are puffed up with air, press them down to flatten them before loading.
Do not use envelopes that are curled or folded. Using these envelopes causes paper jams and smears on the printout.
Do not use envelopes with adhesive surfaces on the flaps or window envelopes.
Avoid using envelopes that are too thin, as they may curl during printing.

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 front of the printer. We also recommend outputting envelopes to the front of the printer.
