❏ 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

❏ 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.

Ink Bottle Handling Precautions

Read the following instructions before relling ink.

Handling precautions

❏ Use ink bottles with the correct part code for this printer.

❏ is printer requires careful handling of ink. Ink may splatter when the ink tanks are lled or relled with ink.

If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come o.

❏ Store ink bottles at normal room temperature and keep them away from direct sunlight.

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

❏ Store the ink bottles in the same environment as the printer.

❏ When storing or transporting an ink bottle aer removing its seal, do not tilt the bottle and do not subject it to

impacts or temperature changes. Otherwise, ink may leak even if the cap on the ink bottle is tightened securely. Be sure to keep the ink bottle upright when tightening the cap, and take measures to prevent ink from leaking when you transport the bottle.

❏ Aer bringing an ink bottle 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 bottle package until you are ready to ll the ink tank. e ink bottle is vacuum packed to

maintain its reliability. If you leave an ink bottle unpacked for a long time before using it, normal printing may not be possible.

❏ 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 tanks to the upper line when the printer is not operating to reset the ink levels.

❏ Quoted yields may vary depending on the images that you are printing, the paper type that you are using, the

Ink consumption

❏ To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all ink tanks not only during

printing but also during maintenance operation such as print head cleaning.

❏ When printing in monochrome or grayscale, color inks instead of black ink may be used depending on the

paper type or print quality settings. is is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.

❏ e ink in the ink bottles supplied with your printer is partly used during initial setup. In order to produce high

* In some print cycles a very small amount of surplus ink may be collected in the ink pad. To prevent ink leakage from the pad, the printer is designed to stop printing when the pad has reached its limit. Whether and how oen this is required will vary according to the number of pages you print, the type of material that you print and the number of cleaning cycles that the printer performs. e need for replacement of the pad does not mean that your printer has ceased to operate in accordance with its specications. e printer will advise you when the pad requires replacing and this can only be performed by an authorised Epson Service provider. e Epson warranty does not cover the cost of this replacement.
