User’s Guide

Important Instructions

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 product, 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 product 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 product.

When connecting the product 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 product on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base of the product in all directions. If you place the product by the wall, leave more than 10 cm between the back of the product and the wall. The product will not operate properly if it is tilted at an angle.

When storing or transporting the product, avoid tilting it, placing it vertically, or turning it upside down; otherwise ink may leak.

Allow spaces behind the product for the cables, and space above the product so that you can fully raise the front cover.

Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Also, keep the product away from direct sunlight, strong light, or heat sources.

Do not insert objects through the slots in the product.

Do not put your hand inside the product during printing.

Do not touch the white flat cable and ink tubes inside the product.

Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the product. Doing so may cause fire.

Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may damage the product.

Always turn the product off using the P button. Do not unplug the product or turn off the power at the outlet until the P light stops flashing.

Before transporting the product, make sure that the print head is in the home (far right) position.

If any of the ink tanks are not filled up to the lower line, refill the ink soon. Continued use of the product when the ink level is below the lower line on the tanks could damage the product.

If you are not going to use the product for a long period, be sure to unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

Paper Handling

Introduction to Using, Loading, and Storing Media

Keep the following points in mind to achieve optimum print results.

Note:

Load the paper into the rear paper feed with the printable side face up. See the instruction sheets packed with the paper for more information.

If the paper is curled, flatten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on curled paper may cause ink to smear on your prints.

Storing paper

Return unused paper to the original package as soon as you finish printing. Keep unused paper and prints away from high temperature, humidity, and direct sunlight.

Selecting Paper

Refer to the table below for the loading capacities of paper and other media.

Media Type	Size	Loading capacity (sheets)

Plain paper*1	Letter*2	up to 6mm
	A4*2	up to 6mm

	Legal	1

*1 Paper with a weight of 64 g/m2 (17 lb) to 90 g/m2 (24 lb).

*2 The loading capacity for manual 2-sided printing is 15 sheets.

Note:

The availability of special media varies by location. For the latest information on media available in your area, contact Epson support.
