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

Ink Bottle Handling Precautions
Read the following instructions before relling ink.
Handling precautions
❏ Use ink bottles with the correct part code for this printer.
❏
❏ Do not shake too vigorously or squeeze the ink bottles.
❏ Once you open an ink bottle, we recommend using it as soon as possible.
❏ Store ink bottles at normal room temperature and keep them away from direct sunlight.
❏ Epson recommends using the ink bottle before the date printed on the package.
❏ Store the ink bottles in the same environment as the printer.

❏ Aer bringing an ink bottle 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 bottle package until you are ready to ll the ink tank. e ink bottle is vacuum packed to
maintain its reliability. If you leave an ink bottle unpacked for a long time before using it, normal printing may
not be possible.
❏ If any of the ink tanks are not lled up to the lower line, rell the ink soon. Prolonged use of the printer when
the ink level is below the lower line could damage the printer.
❏ For optimum print results do not maintain low ink levels for extended periods of time.

Specications
❏ Quoted yields may vary depending on the images that you are printing, the paper type that you are using, the
frequency of your prints and environmental conditions such as temperature.
Ink consumption
❏ To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all ink tanks not only during
printing but also during maintenance operation such as print head cleaning.
❏ When printing in monochrome or grayscale, color inks instead of black ink may be used depending on the
paper type or print quality settings. is is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.
❏
ink in the ink bottles supplied with your printer is partly used during initial setup. In order to produce high
e
quality printouts, the print head in your printer will be fully charged with ink. is one-o process consumes a
quantity of ink and therefore these bottles may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink bottles.
