User's Guide

Important Instructions

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.

Advisories and Warnings for Using the Printer

Do not insert objects through the slots in the printer.

Do not put your hand inside the printer during printing.

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.

Visually check ink levels in the actual ink tanks. Continued use of the printer when the ink is expended could damage the printer. Epson recommends filling the ink tank to the upper line when the printer is not operating to reset the ink level.

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.

Making Wi-Fi Direct Settings

This method allows you to connect the printer directly to devices without an access point. The printer acts as an access point. The connection mode varies depending on whether or not Wi-Fi settings have been made.

cImportant:

When you connect from the computer or smart device to the printer using the Wi-Fi Direct 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 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 to use Wi-Fi network by connecting the printer to an access point.

Making Wi-Fi Direct Settings When Wi-Fi Is Enabled (Wi-Fi Direct Mode)

cImportant:

Since the printer is disconnected from the Wi-Fi network when it is connected in Wi-Fi Direct mode, you cannot use the printer over the Wi-Fi network. If you disconnect the connection in Wi-Fi Direct mode, the printer is reconnected to the previous Wi-Fi network.

The connection method for Wi-Fi Direct mode is much the same as Simple AP mode. Select > Wi-Fi Setup > Wi-Fi Direct Setup > Connection Setup on the pritner's control panel, press Proceed, and then start connecting from the device. The message is displayed on the printer's control panel and the network icon on the home screen changes to the Wi-Fi Direct mode icon when the printer is connected.

Note:

You can connect in Wi-Fi Direct mode from Android devices only. Before connecting, start Web Config, and then select Basic Settings > Wi-Fi Direct Setup > Connect to the Wi-Fi Direct devices only to set up the prnter. The method for starting connection from the printer is the same as for Wi-Fi Direct mode.

If you connect in Wi-Fi Direct mode from specific smart devices, you can only connect using Wi-Fi Direct mode when connecting to the printer from the smart device, and you do not need to enter the SSID and password because the printer and the devices communicate each other directly to connect.
