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, atten 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 pued up with air,

press them down to atten 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 aps or window envelopes.

❏ Avoid using envelopes that are too thin, as they may curl during printing.

Ink Cartridge Handling Precautions

Read the following instructions before replacing the ink cartridge.

Handling precautions

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

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

❏ For best results, use up ink cartridge within six months of opening the package.

❏ For best results, store ink cartridge packages with their bottom down.

❏ Aer 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.

❏ Do not open the ink cartridge package until you are ready to install it in the printer. e 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.

❏ You must remove the yellow tape from the cartridge before installing it; otherwise, print quality may decline or

you may not be able to print. Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this can cause leakage.

❏ Finish ink cartridge replacement promptly. Do not leave the printer with the ink cartridge removed.

Ink Consumption

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

printing but also during maintenance operations such as ink cartridge replacement and 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 cartridge supplied with your printer is partly used during initial setup. In order to produce

high quality printouts, the print head in your printer will be fully charged with ink. is one-o process consumes a quantity of ink and therefore this cartridge may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink cartridges.

Replacing a Maintenance Box

In some print cycles a very small amount of surplus ink may be collected in the maintenance box. To prevent ink leakage from the maintenance box, the printer is designed to stop printing when the absorbing capacity of the maintenance box 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. Replace the maintenance box when you are promoted to do so. e Epson Status Monitor, your LCD, or lights on the control panel will advise you when this part needs replacing. e need for replacement of the box does not mean that your printer has ceased to operate in accordance with its specications. e Epson warranty does not cover the cost of this replacement. It is a user-serviceable part.

1. Remove the new maintenance box from its package.

Important:

Do not touch the green chip on the side of the maintenance box. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing.

Note:

A transparent bag for the used maintenance box is provided with the new maintenance box.
