User’s Guide

Important Instructions

❏ Use only the type of power source indicated on the product’s label.

❏ 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 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.

the LCD screen has turned off completely.

User’s Guide

Important Instructions

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

cartridges are in place.

❏ Be careful not to trap your fingers when closing the scanner unit.

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

outlet.

❏ Do not press too hard on the scanner glass when placing the originals.

❏ During the life of your product it may be necessary to replace the waste ink pad when it has become full. Whether

and how often 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 product performs. Epson Status Monitor, your LCD, or lights on the control panel will advise you when this part needs replacing. The need for replacement of the pad does not mean that your product has ceased to operate in accordance with its specifications. The replacement of this part is a routine product servicing activity within the product’s specification and is not a problem which requires repair. The Epson warranty does not therefore cover the cost of this replacement. If your product needs the pad replacing this can be performed for you by any authorised Epson service provider. It is not a user-serviceable part.

Using the product with a wireless connection

❏ Do not use this product inside medical facilities or near medical equipment. Radio waves from this product may

adversely affect the operation of electrical medical equipment.

❏ Do not use this product near automatically controlled devices such as automatic doors or fire alarms. Radio waves

from this product may adversely affect these devices, and could lead to accidents due to malfunction.

Using the LCD screen

❏ 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 to clean the LCD Screen. Do not use liquid or chemical cleansers.

Paper and Media Handling

Introduction to Using, Loading, and Storing Media

You can achieve good results with most types of plain paper. However, coated papers provide superior prints because they absorb less ink.

Epson provides special papers that are formulated for the ink used in Epson ink jet products, and recommends these papers to ensure high-quality results.

When loading special paper distributed by Epson, read the instruction sheets packed with the paper first and keep the following points in mind.

Note:

❏ Load the paper into the paper cassette printable side down. The printable side is usually whiter or glossier. See the

instruction sheets packed with the paper for more information. Some types of paper have cut corners to help identify the correct loading direction.

❏ 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. When handling special media, Epson recommends storing your prints in a resealable plastic bag. Keep unused paper and prints away from high temperature, humidity, and direct sunlight.

Selecting Paper

The table below lists supported papers. Loading capacity and borderless print availability varies by paper as shown.

Previewing and Adjusting the Scan Area

Selecting a preview mode

Once you have selected your basic settings and resolution, you can preview your image and select or adjust the image area in a Preview window. There are two types of preview.

❏ Normal preview displays your previewed image(s) in their entirety. You can select the scan area and make any

image quality adjustments manually.

❏ Thumbnail preview displays your previewed image(s) as thumbnail(s). Epson Scan automatically locates the

edges of your scan area, applies automatic exposure settings to the image(s), and rotates the image(s) if necessary.

Note:

❏ Some of the settings that you change after previewing an image are reset if you change the preview mode.

❏ Depending on your document type and the Epson Scan mode you are using, you may not be able to change the preview

type.

❏ If you preview image(s) without the Preview dialog displayed, image(s) are displayed in the default preview mode. If you

preview with the Preview dialog displayed, image(s) are displayed in the preview mode that was displayed just before previewing.

❏ To resize the Preview window, click and drag the corner of the Preview window.

Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions, Precautions, and Specifications

Safety instructions

Observe the following when handling the ink cartridges:

❏ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.

❏ Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges, as there may be some ink around the ink supply port.

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, spit it out immediately and see a doctor right away.

❏ If you remove the cartridge from the product for later use or to dispose of it, make sure you put the cap back on the

cartridge’s ink supply port to prevent ink from drying out or to prevent surrounding areas from getting smeared by ink.

❏ Do not push hard or squeeze the ink cartridges, or be careful not to drop them. Doing so may cause ink leakage.

❏ Do not disassemble or remodel the ink cartridge, otherwise you may not be able to print normally.

❏ Do not touch the sections shown in the illustration. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing.

❏ Do not leave the product with the ink cartridges removed or do not turn off the product during cartridge

replacement. Otherwise, ink remaining in the print head nozzles will dry out and you may not be able to print.

Precautions on ink cartridge replacement

Read all of the instructions in this section before replacing the ink cartridges.

❏ Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson ink cartridges. Epson cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of

non-genuine ink. The use of non-genuine ink may cause damage that is not covered by Epson’s warranties, and under certain circumstances, may cause erratic product behavior. Information about non-genuine ink levels may not be displayed.

User’s Guide

Replacing Ink Cartridges

❏ Gently shake the black ink cartridge four or five times before opening the package. The color cartridges and photo

black cartridge does not require shaking.

❏ Do not shake ink cartridges too vigorously; otherwise ink may leak from the cartridge.

❏ This product uses ink cartridges equipped with an IC chip that monitors information such as the amount of

remaining ink for each cartridge. This means that even if the cartridge is removed from the product before it is expended, you can still use the cartridge after reinserting it back into the product. However, when reinserting a cartridge, some ink may be consumed to guarantee product performance.

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

but also during maintenance operations such as ink cartridge replacement and print head cleaning.

❏ Be careful not to let dust or any objects get inside the ink cartridge holder. Anything inside the holder may

adversely affect the printing results or result in an inability to print.

❏ For maximum ink efficiency, only remove an ink cartridge when you are ready to replace it. Ink cartridges with

low ink status may not be used when reinserted.

❏ Do not open the ink cartridge package until you are ready to install it in the product. The cartridge is vacuum

packed to maintain its reliability. If you leave a cartridge unpacked for a long time before using it, normal printing may not be possible.

❏ Install all ink cartridges; otherwise, you cannot print.

❏ When color ink is expended and black ink still remains, you can continue printing temporarily with black ink

only. For more information refer to “Temporary Printing with Black Ink When Color Ink Cartridges or a Photo

Black Ink Cartridge are Expended” on page 82.

❏ If an ink cartridge is running low, prepare a new ink cartridge.

❏ After bringing an ink cartridge inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least

three hours before using it.

❏ Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place.

❏ You cannot use the cartridges that came with your product for the replacement.

Ink Cartridge Specifications

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

❏ The ink cartridges packaged with your product are partly used during initial setup. In order to produce high

quality printouts, the print head in your product will be fully charged with ink. This one-off process consumes a quantity of ink and therefore these cartridges may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink cartridges.

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

frequency of your prints and environmental conditions such as temperature.

❏ To ensure you receive premium print quality and to help protect your print head, a variable ink safety reserve

remains in the cartridge when your product indicates to replace the cartridge. The yields quoted for you do not include this reserve.

❏ Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled materials, this does not affect product function or performance.

User’s Guide

Replacing Ink Cartridges

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

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

Checking the Ink Cartridge Status

❏ Epson cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-genuine ink. If non-genuine ink cartridges are installed, the ink

cartridge status may not be displayed.
