Paper Handling Precautions

❏ Read the instruction 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, atten 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.

❏ Fan and align the edges of the envelopes before loading. When the stacked envelopes are pued up with air,

press them down to atten 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 aps or window envelopes.

❏ Avoid using envelopes that are too thin, as they may curl during printing.

Ink Cartridge Handling Precautions

Read the following instructions before replacing ink cartridges.

Storing precautions for ink

❏ Keep the ink cartridges out of direct sunlight.

❏ Do not store the ink cartridges in high or freezing temperatures.

❏ Epson recommends using the ink cartridge before the date printed on the package.

❏ For best results, use up ink cartridge within six months of opening the package.

❏ For best results, store ink cartridge packages with their bottom down.

❏ Aer bringing an ink cartridge 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 cartridge package until you are ready to install it in the printer. e cartridge is vacuum

packed to maintain its reliability. If you leave a cartridge unpacked for a long time before using it, normal printing may not be possible.

Handling precautions for replacing ink cartridges

❏ Be careful not to break the hooks on the side of the ink cartridge when you remove it from the package.

❏ You must remove the yellow tape from the cartridge before installing it; otherwise, print quality may decline or

you may not be able to print. Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this can cause leakage.

❏ Do not turn o the printer during ink charging. If the ink charging is incomplete, you may not be able to print.

❏ Do not leave the printer with the ink cartridges removed or do not turn o the printer during cartridge

replacement. Otherwise, ink remaining in the print head nozzles will dry out and you may not be able to print.

❏ If you need to remove an ink cartridge temporarily, make sure you protect the ink supply area from dirt and

dust. Store the ink cartridge in the same environment as the printer, with the ink supply port facing down or sideways. Do not store ink cartridges with the ink supply port facing up. Because the ink supply port is equipped with a valve designed to contain the release of excess ink, there is no need to supply your own covers or plugs.

❏ Removed ink cartridges may have ink around the ink supply port, so be careful not to get any ink on the

surrounding area when removing the cartridges.
