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 fire 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 specifically explained in the printer's manuals.
Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
The 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.
If the LCD screen is damaged, contact your dealer. If the liquid crystal solution gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If the liquid crystal solution gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.
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, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems continue after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.
If ink gets into your mouth, see a doctor right away.
Do not tilt or shake an ink bottle after removing its seal; this can cause leakage.
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 ink bottle cap.
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.
8
User's Guide
Important Instructions
Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.
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.
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.
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 flat cable and ink tubes inside the printer.
Do not touch the left lateral surface of the print head inside the printer when the printer is on.
Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the printer. Doing so may cause fire.
Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may damage the printer.
Do not continue printing when the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank. Continued use of the printer when the ink level is below the lower line could damage the printer. Epson recommends filling all ink tanks to the upper line when the printer is not operating to reset the ink levels.
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.
Before transporting the printer, make sure that the print head is in the home (far right) position.
If you are not going to use the printer for a long period, be sure to unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
Advisories and Warnings for Using Memory Cards
Do not remove a memory card or turn off the printer while the memory card light is flashing.

Advisories and Warnings for Using the Touchpad
The LCD screen may contain a few small bright or dark spots, and because of its features it may have an uneven brightness. These are normal and do not indicate that it is damaged in any way.
Only use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or chemical cleaners.
The exterior cover of the touchpad could break if it receives a heavy impact. Contact your dealer if the touchpad's surface chips or cracks, and do not touch or attempt to remove the broken pieces.
Press the touchpad gently with your finger. Do not press forcefully or operate with your nails.
The touchpad is a capacitive touch panel, which responds only when touched directly with a finger. The panel may not respond when touched with wet hands, gloved hands, or touched through a protective sheet or sticker.
Do not operate using sharp objects such as a ball point pen, pencil and so on.
Condensation inside the touchpad due to abrupt changes in temperature or humidity may cause performance to deteriorate.

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, flatten 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 puffed up with air, press them down to flatten 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 flaps or window envelopes.
Avoid using envelopes that are too thin, as they may curl during 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, fingerprints, 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 after 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 after 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 off 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.
