Important Safety Instructions
Before using your CX1500, read and follow these safety instructions:
■ Be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the CX1500.
■ Use only the type of power source indicated on the CX1500 label.
■ Use only the power cord that comes with the CX1500. Use of another cord may cause fires or
shock. Do not use the cord with any other equipment.
■ Connect all equipment to properly grounded power outlets. Avoid using outlets on the same
circuit as air control systems or other high-load devices that regularly switch on and off or are
controlled by wall switches or automatic timers.
■ Place the CX1500 near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.
■ When connecting the CX1500 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.
■ Do not let the power cord become damaged or frayed.
■ If you use an extension cord with the CX1500, make sure the total ampere rating of the
devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make
sure the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall
outlet’s ampere rating.
■ Keep your CX1500 and computer system away from potential sources of electromagnetic
interference, such as loudspeakers or cordless telephone base units.
■ Avoid locations that are subject to rapid changes in heat or humidity, shocks or vibrations,
or dust.

■ Leave enough room around the CX1500 for sufficient ventilation.
■ Do not place the CX1500 near a radiator or heating vent or in direct sunlight.
■ Place the CX1500 on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond its base in all directions. It
will not operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle.
■ Turn off and unplug the CX1500 before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth only. Do not
spill liquid on it.
■ Always turn the CX1500 off using the P button. Don’t turn off the power using a switch
on a power strip or unplug the CX1500 until the power light is off.
■ Do not block or cover openings in the CX1500 case or insert objects through the slots.
■ Except as specifically explained in your documentation, do not attempt to service the
CX1500 yourself.
■ Unplug the CX1500 and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions: if the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered the product; if the
product has been dropped or the case damaged; if the product does not operate normally
or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Adjust only those controls that are covered
by the operating instructions.
■ When storing or transporting the CX1500, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it
upside down; otherwise ink may leak from the cartridge.
■ Before transporting the CX1500, make sure the print head is locked in the far right
position and the ink cartridges are in place.
■ This product includes a lamp component that contains mercury (Hg). Please consult your
state and local regulations regarding disposal or recycling. Do not put it in the trash.
English
Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions
■ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.
■ If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets in
your eyes, flush them thoroughly with water.
■ To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print head by hand.
■ Don’t remove the cartridge label, or ink will leak.
■ Don’t remove the green circuit board from the cartridge. Installing a cartridge without a
circuit board can damage the printer. Avoid touching the green circuit board, as this can
damage the ink cartridge.
■ If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply port on the bottom of
the cartridge from dirt and dust. Place it in a small box, or, if you have the original packaging,
store it in there.
■ Store ink cartridges in the same environment as the printer. Stand cartridges upright; the
label identifying the color should be on top.
■ You cannot print if an ink cartridge is empty. Leave the empty cartridge installed in the
printer until you have obtained a replacement. Otherwise the ink remaining in the print
head nozzles may dry out.

Epson America, Inc. Limited Warranty
Applies in the United States and Canada
What Is Covered: Epson America, Inc. (“Epson”) warrants to the original retail purchaser that the
EPSON printer covered by this limited warranty statement, if purchased and operated only in the
United States or Canada, conforms to the manufacturer’s specifications and will be free from
defects in workmanship and materials for a period of one (1) year from the date of original
purchase. Epson also warrants that the consumable ink cartridges enclosed with the printer will
perform to the manufacturer’s specified usage, which usage may expire before the expiration of the
limited warranty for the EPSON printer. For warranty service, you must provide proof of the date
of original purchase.
What Epson Will Do To Correct Problems: Should your EPSON printer prove defective
during the warranty period, please call the EPSON Connection at (562) 276-4382 (U.S.) or
(905) 709-3839 (Canada) for warranty repair instructions and return authorization. An Epson
service technician will provide telephone diagnostic service to determine whether the printer
requires service. If service is needed, Epson will, at its option, exchange or repair the printer
without charge for parts or labor. If Epson authorizes an exchange for the defective unit, Epson
will ship a replacement printer to you, freight prepaid, so long as you use an address in Canada or
the U.S. (excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. Possessions). Shipments to other locations will be made
freight collect. You are responsible for securely packaging the defective unit and returning it to
Epson within five (5) working days of receipt of the replacement. Epson requires a debit or a credit
card number to secure the cost of the replacement printer in the event that you fail to return the
defective one. If your printer is being repaired, Epson will direct you to send your printer to Epson
or its authorized service center, where the printer will be fixed and sent back to you. You are
responsible for packing the printer and for all costs to and from the Epson authorized service
center. When warranty service involves the exchange of the printer or a part, the item replaced
becomes Epson property. The replacement printer or part may be new or refurbished to the Epson
standard of quality, and, at Epson’s option, may be another model of like kind and quality.
Epson’s liability for replacement of the covered printer will not exceed the original retail selling
price of the covered printer. Exchange products and parts assume the remaining warranty period of
your original product covered by this limited warranty.
What This Warranty Does Not Cover: This warranty does not apply to refurbished or
reconditioned products. This warranty covers only normal use in the United States and Canada.
This warranty is not transferable. This warranty does not cover any color change or fading of
prints or reimbursement of materials or services required for reprinting. This warranty does not
cover damage to the EPSON product caused by parts or supplies not manufactured, distributed or
certified by Epson. This warranty does not cover ribbons, ink cartridges or third party parts,
components, or peripheral devices added to the EPSON product after its shipment from Epson,
e.g., dealer or user-added boards or components. Epson is not responsible for warranty service
should the Epson label or logo or the rating label or serial number be removed or should the
product fail to be properly maintained or fail to function properly as a result of misuse, abuse,
improper installation, neglect, improper shipping, damage caused by disasters such as fire, flood,
and lightning, improper electrical current, software problems, interaction with non-Epson
products, or service other than by an Epson Authorized Servicer. If a claimed defect cannot be
identified or reproduced, you will be held responsible for the costs incurred.
