User's Guide

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, scanner 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.

Keep the printer at least 22 cm away from cardiac pacemakers. Radio waves from this printer may adversely affect the operation of cardiac pacemakers.

Be careful not to touch any ink when you handle the ink tanks, ink tank caps, and opened ink bottles or ink bottle caps.

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 tilt or shake an ink bottle after removing its seal; this can cause leakage.

Keep ink bottles and the ink tank unit out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to drink from or handle the ink bottles and ink bottle cap.

Read and follow these instructions to avoid damaging the printer or your property. Make sure you keep this manual for future reference.

Important Instructions

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 document 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.

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.

Be careful not to trap your fingers when closing the scanner unit.

Do not press too hard on the scanner glass when placing the originals.

If any of the ink tanks are not filled up to the lower line, refill the ink soon. Prolonged use of the printer when the ink level is below the lower line could 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.

This method allows you to connect the printer directly to devices without an access point. The printer acts as an access point.

cImportant:

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 off, 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. If you do not want to connect every time you turn the printer on or off, we recommend using Wi-Fi network by connecting the printer to an access point.

Entered security key/password does not match the one set for your router/access point. Confirm security key/ password. Contact your network administrator for assistance.

Solutions:

Make sure your access point is turned on.

Confirm that your computer or device is connected correctly to the access point.

Turn off the access point. Wait for about 10 seconds, and then turn it on.

Place the printer closer to your access point and remove any obstacles between them.

If you have entered the SSID manually, check if it is correct. Check the SSID from the Network Status part on the network connection report.

If you are using push button setup to establish a network connection, make sure your access point supports WPS. You cannot use push button setup if your access point does not support WPS.

Makes sure your SSID uses only ASCII characters (alphanumeric characters and symbols). The printer cannot display an SSID that contains non-ASCII characters.

Makes sure you know your SSID and password before connecting to the access point. If you are using an access point with its default settings, the SSID and password are located on a label on the access point. If you do not know your SSID and password, contact the person who set up the access point, or see the documentation provided with the access point.

If you are connecting to an SSID generated from a tethering smart device, check for the SSID and password in the documentation provided with the smart device.

If your Wi-Fi connection suddenly disconnects, check for the conditions below. If any of these conditions are applicable, reset your network settings by downloading and running the software from the following website.
