Network Security Recommendations
To help deter unauthorized access to your product over a network, you should protect your network
environment using appropriate security measures.
Security measures such as these can help deter threats such as loss of user data, use of telephone and
fax lines, and other intrusions:
• Enable security on your wireless LAN
Enable the appropriate security on the wireless LAN you plan to use with your product. Network
security such as a network password can deter interception of traffic over the wireless LAN. Your
router may already have a default password enabled by your Internet service provider (ISP). See your
ISP and router documentation for instructions on how to change the default password and better
secure your network.
• Connect your product only to a network protected by a firewall
Connecting your product directly to the Internet may leave it vulnerable to security threats. Instead,
connect it to a router or other network connection protected by a firewall. Your router may already
have a firewall set up by your Internet service provider; check with your ISP for confirmation. For best
results, set up and use a private IP address for your network connection.
• Change the default administrator password on your product
If your product has an option to set an administrator password, change the default administrator
password to deter access by unauthorized users to personal data stored on your product, such as IDs,
passwords, and contact lists.

Wi-Fi Direct Mode Setup
You can set up your product to communicate directly with your computer or another device without
requiring a wireless router or access point. In Wi-Fi Direct Mode, the product itself acts as a network
access point for up to 4 devices.

You should now be able to print to your product directly from your computer or device. If you cannot
print successfully, repeat the process above and make sure you enter the password exactly as
written on the network status sheet.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
If your network uses a WPS-enabled wireless router or access point, you can quickly connect your
product to the network using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).
Note: To check if your router is WPS-enabled, look for a button labeled WPS on your router or access
point. If there is no hardware button, there may be a virtual WPS button in the software for the device.
Check your network product documentation for details.

Scan Resolution Guidelines
The Resolution setting, measured in dpi (dots per inch), controls the amount of detail captured in your
scans. Increasing the resolution raises the amount of detail captured but comes with the following
disadvantages:
• Larger file sizes
• It takes longer to scan your originals, send/receive your scans by email or fax, and to print your scans
• The image may become too large to fit on your display or print on paper
If you plan to enlarge a scanned image so you can print it at a larger size, you may need to increase the
resolution from the default resolution set by Epson Scan 2. Follow these guidelines to determine the
resolution setting you need:
• You will scan the image at its original size but enlarge it later in an image-editing program.
92
Page 93
Increase the Epson Scan 2 Resolution setting in your scan. Increase the resolution by the same
amount you will increase the image size to retain a high image quality. For example, if the resolution is
300 dpi (dots per inch) and you will double the image size later, change the Resolution setting to 600
dpi.
• You will scan the image at 100% or smaller size.
Select the Epson Scan 2 Resolution setting based on how you will use the scanned image:
• Email/view on a computer screen/post on the web: 96 to 200 dpi
• Print/fax/convert to editable text (OCR)/create searchable PDF: 200 to 300 dpi

Refilling Ink
When the ink level is below the lower line on an ink tank, you need to refill it.
Before checking the ink level or refilling an ink tank as described here, be sure to read the ink safety
precautions.
Caution: If the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank, fill it to the upper line on the ink tank.
Continued use of the product when the ink level is below the lower line on the tank could damage the
product.

Ink Safety Precautions
Ink Handling Precautions
• 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 bottle caps.
• Do not tilt or shake an ink bottle after opening it; otherwise, ink may leak.
• If ink gets on your skin, wash it thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them
immediately with water. If ink gets into your mouth, spit it out immediately. Seek medical advice if
problems persist.
• Do not squeeze the ink bottles.
Ink Refilling Precautions
• Use ink bottles with the correct part number for this product.
• The use of non-Epson ink may cause damage that is not covered by Epson’s warranty, and under
certain circumstances, may cause erratic product behavior.
• This product requires careful handling of ink. Ink may splatter when the ink tanks are filled or refilled
with ink. If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.
94
Page 95
• Do not open the ink bottle package until you are ready to fill an ink tank. Ink bottles are vacuum
packed to maintain reliability. If you leave an ink bottle unpacked for a long time before using it, print
quality may be affected.
• If the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank, refill the ink. Continued use of the product when
the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank could damage the product.
• Epson recommends filling all ink tanks to the upper line when the product is not operating.
• After 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.
• Store ink bottles in a cool, dark place.
• Store the ink bottles in the same environment as the product. When storing or transporting an opened
ink bottle, do not tilt the bottle and do not subject it to impacts or temperature changes. Otherwise, ink
may leak even if the cap on the ink bottle is tightened securely. Be sure to keep the ink bottle upright
when tightening the cap, and take measures to prevent ink from leaking when you transport the bottle.
Ink Bottle and Ink Tank Information
• To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all ink tanks during printing
and when performing maintenance operations, such as cleaning the print head.
• The ink bottles may contain recycled materials, but this does not affect product function or
performance.
• The specification and appearance of the ink bottles are subject to change without prior notice for
improvement.
• If an ink bottle is dented, you can still use the ink. The quality and quantity of ink will not be affected.
• When printing in monochrome or grayscale, color ink may be used instead of black ink, depending on
the paper type or print quality settings. This is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.
