Important Safety Instructions

Before using this product, read and follow these
safety instructions:

■ Use only the power cord that comes with the

product. Use of another cord may cause fire or
shock. Do not use the cord with any other
equipment.

■ Make sure the power cord meets all relevant

local safety standards.

■ Use only the type of power source indicated on

the label.

■ Place the product near a wall outlet where the

power cord can be easily unplugged.

■ Do not let the power cord become damaged or

frayed.

■ If you use an extension cord with the product,

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.

■ Avoid locations that are subject to rapid changes

in heat or humidity, shocks or vibrations, or
dust.

■ Leave enough room around the product for

sufficient ventilation. Do not block or cover
openings in the case or insert objects through the
slots.

■ Do not place the product near a radiator or

heating vent or in direct sunlight.

■ Place the product 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.

■ Make sure the back of the product is at least

10 cm away from the wall.

■ Do not open the scanner unit while copying,

printing, or scanning.

■ Do not spill liquid on the product.

■ Except as specifically explained in your

documentation, do not attempt to service the
product yourself.

■ Unplug the product 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 product, do not

tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it upside down;
otherwise ink may leak from the cartridges.

■ Be careful not to trap your fingers when closing

the scanner unit.

Ink cartridge safety instructions

■ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children

and do not drink the ink.

■ Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges;

there may be ink remaining around the ink
supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off
with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush
them immediately with water. If you still have
discomfort or vision problems, see a doctor
immediately.

■ Do not put your hand inside the product or

touch any cartridges during printing.

■ Install a new ink cartridge immediately after you

remove an expended cartridge. Leaving
cartridges uninstalled can dehydrate the print
head and may prevent the product from
printing.

■ If you remove an ink cartridge for later use,

protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust
and store it in the same environment as the
product. Note that there is a valve in the ink
supply port, making covers or plugs
unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent the
ink from staining items that the cartridge
touches. Do not touch the ink cartridge, ink
supply port, or surrounding area.

English

■ Do not use aerosol products that contain

flammable gases inside or around the product.
Doing so may cause fire.

Handling Paper

Epson offers an extensive line of special papers that
provide outstanding results when used with Epson
printers and ink. The type of paper you choose
affects the way your printout looks, so be sure to
select the correct paper for your job.

Selecting Paper

If you are just making a copy or printing a rough
draft of an image, plain paper is fine. However, for
the best results, you will want to use one of Epson’s
special ink jet papers designed for the product.

Before printing, you need to select the correct Paper
Type setting on the control panel. This important
setting determines how the ink is applied to the
paper.

Choose from these paper types and settings:

If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and
water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.
If you still have discomfort or vision problems, see a doctor
immediately.

■ To avoid damaging the product, never move the

print head by hand.

■ When an ink cartridge is expended, you cannot

continue copying or printing even if the other
cartridges still contain ink.

■ Leave the expended cartridge installed until you

have obtained a replacement. Otherwise the ink
remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.

5. When you are done checking the ink cartridge

status, press the x OK button.

Maintenance 25

■ An IC chip on each ink cartridge monitors the

amount of ink used from the cartridge.
Cartridges are usable even if they are removed
and reinserted. However, some ink is consumed
each time cartridges are inserted because the
printer automatically checks their reliability.

■ For maximum ink efficiency, only remove an ink

cartridge when you are ready to replace it. Ink
cartridges with low ink status cannot be used
when reinserted.

■ Ink cartridges with low ink status cannot be used

when reinserted.

c Caution:

Do not lift up the scanner unit when the document cover is
open.

Removing and installing ink cartridges

Make sure you have a new ink cartridge before you
begin. Once you start replacing a cartridge, you must
complete all the steps in one session.

Note:

Do not open the ink cartridge package until you are ready to install
it in the printer. The cartridge is vacuum packed to maintain its
reliability.

Checking and Cleaning the Print Head

OK

When the product begins charging, you see the
message on the LCD screen.

Charging...

This takes about one minute. When the ink
charging finishes, it automatically returns to the
previous screen.

c Caution:

Do not turn off the product during ink charging as this will
waste ink.

Note:

If you had to replace the ink cartridge during copying, the
documents or photos on the document table may have
moved slightly when you opened and closed the scanner unit.
To ensure copy quality, after ink charging is finished, cancel
the job that is copying and start again from placing the
originals.

If your printouts are unexpectedly light, colors are
missing, or you see light or dark lines across the
page, you may need to clean the print head. This
clears the print head nozzles, which can become
clogged if you do not use the product for a long time.

Tip:

We recommend that you turn on the product at least once a month
to maintain good print quality.

Checking the print head

You can print a nozzle check pattern to see if any
print head nozzles are clogged, or to check the results
after cleaning the print head.

1. Load A4-size plain paper in the sheet feeder

(& page 15).

2. Press the F [F Setup] button.

3. Press the u or d button, or press the 3 on the

numeric keypad, to select 3.Nozzle Check.

3.Nozzle Check

4. Press the x OK button to print the nozzle check

pattern.

5. Examine the nozzle check pattern you printed.
Each staggered line should be solid, with no
gaps, as shown.

■ If your printout looks okay, the print head

does not need to be cleaned yet. Press the
y Stop [y Cancel/Back] button until you
return to the first screen.

■ If you see any gaps, as shown below, clean

the print head as described in the next
section.

28 Maintenance

Cleaning the print head

Aligning the Print Head

Follow these steps to clean the print head so it can
deliver ink properly. Before cleaning the print head,
run a nozzle check to see if the print head needs
cleaning (& “Checking the print head” on page 28).

Note:

❏ Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if quality declines.

❏ If a message on the LCD screen tells you that a cartridge is

expended or low on ink, you cannot clean the print head. You
must first replace the ink cartridge indicated (& “Replacing Ink
Cartridges” on page 25).

1. Make sure the product is turned on but not
printing.

2. Press the F [F Setup] button.

3. Press the u or d button, or press the 4 on the
numeric keypad, to select 4.Head Cleaning.

4.Head Cleaning

4. Press the x OK button to start cleaning.

c Caution:

Never turn off the product while head cleaning is in progress.
You may damage it.

5. When cleaning finishes, print a nozzle check
pattern to check the results (& “Checking the
print head” on page 28).

If there are still gaps or the test patterns are faint,
run another cleaning cycle and check the nozzles
again.

Note:

If you do not see any improvement after cleaning about four
times, turn off the product and wait for at least 6 hours. This
lets any dried ink soften. Then try cleaning the print head
again. If quality still does not improve, one of the ink
cartridges may be old or damaged and needs to be replaced
(& “Replacing Ink Cartridges” on page 25).

If you notice that vertical lines are not aligned
properly on the nozzle check printout, you may be
able to solve this problem by aligning the print head.

You can align the print head by pressing the buttons,
or you can run the Print Head Alignment utility from
your computer. For the most accurate alignment, the
utility is recommended.

1. Load A4-size plain paper (& page 15).

2. Press the F [F Setup] button.

3. Press the u or d button, or press the 6 key on the

numeric keypad, to select the 6.Head
Alignment.

6.Head Alignment

4. Press the x OK button to print the alignment

sheet.

Note:

Do not press the y Stop [y Cancel/Back] button while
printing an alignment pattern.

5. Look at pattern #1 and find the patch that is most
evenly printed, with no noticeable streaks or
lines.

6. Press the number key on the numeric keypad
that corresponds to the patch.

#1 4

7. Press the x OK button.

8. Repeat steps 5 to 7 for each of the other
alignment patterns.
