Safety Instructions

Read and follow these instructions to ensure safe use of this printer. Make sure you keep this manual for future reference. Also, be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the printer.

❏ Use only the power cord supplied with the printer and do not use the cord with any other equipment. Use of

other cords with this printer or the use of the supplied power cord with other equipment may result in re or electric shock.

❏ Be sure your AC power cord meets the relevant local safety standard.

❏ Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the power cord, plug, printer unit, or options by yourself, except

as specically explained in the printer's manuals.

❏ Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualied service personnel under the following conditions:

e power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the printer; the printer has been dropped or the casing damaged; the printer does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Do not adjust controls that are not covered by the operating instructions.

❏ Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.

❏ Do not place or store the printer outdoors, near excessive dirt or dust, water, heat sources, or in locations

subject to shocks, vibrations, high temperature or humidity.

❏ Take care not to spill liquid on the printer and not to handle the printer with wet hands.

❏ Keep the printer at least 22 cm away from cardiac pacemakers. Radio waves from this printer may adversely

aect the operation of cardiac pacemakers.

❏ Be careful not to touch any ink when you handle the ink tanks, ink tank caps, and opened ink bottles or ink

bottle caps.

❏ If ink gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water.

❏ If ink gets into your eyes, ush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems continue aer

a thorough ushing, see a doctor immediately.

❏ If ink gets into your mouth, see a doctor right away.

Printer Advisories and Warnings

Read and follow these instructions to avoid damaging the printer or your property. Make sure you keep this manual for future reference.

Advisories and Warnings for Setting Up/Using the Printer

❏ Do not block or cover the vents and openings in the printer.

❏ Use only the type of power source indicated on the printer's label.

User's Guide

Important Instructions

❏ Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and o.

❏ Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers.

❏ Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as

loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.

❏

power-supply cords should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do not place

e 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 at, stable surface that extends beyond the base of the printer in all directions. e printer

will not operate properly if it is tilted at an angle.

❏ When storing or transporting the printer, avoid tilting it, placing it vertically, or turning it upside down;

otherwise ink may leak.

❏ Allow space above the printer so that you can fully raise the printer 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.

❏ Do not insert objects through the slots in the printer.

❏ Do not put your hand inside the printer during printing.

❏ Do not touch the white at cable and ink tubes inside the printer.

❏ Do not use aerosol products that contain ammable gases inside or around the printer. Doing so may cause re.

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

❏ If any of the ink tanks are not lled up to the lower line, rell the ink soon. Continued use of the printer when

the ink level is below the lower line on the tanks could damage the printer.

Loading a CD/DVD for Printing

Printable CD/DVDs

You can print on a circular 12-cm or 8-cm CD/DVD labelled as suitable for printing, for example "printable on the label surface" or "printable with ink jet printers."

You can also print on a Blu-ray Discs™.

CD/DVD Handling Precautions

❏ See the documentation provided with your CD/DVD for more information on handling the CD/DVD or

writing data.

❏ Do not print on the CD/DVD before writing your data to it. If you do, ngerprints, dirt, or scratches on the

surface may cause errors while writing data.

❏ Depending on the CD/DVD type or printing data, smearing may occur. Try making a test print on a spare CD/

DVD. Check the printed surface aer waiting for one full day.

❏ Compared to printing on genuine Epson paper, the print density is lowered to prevent ink from smearing on the

CD/DVD. Adjust the print density as necessary.

❏ Allow the printed CD/DVDs at least 24 hours to dry avoiding direct sunlight. Do not stack or insert the CD/

DVDs into your device until they are completely dry.

❏ If the printed surface is sticky even aer it has dried, lower the print density.

❏ Reprinting on the same CD/DVD may not improve the print quality.

❏ If the CD/DVD tray or the internal transparent compartment are accidentally printed on, immediately wipe o

the ink.

❏ Depending on the print area setting, the CD/DVD or CD/DVD tray may get dirty. Make settings to print on the

printable area.
