Introduction

Loading Paper

You can print documents and photos on a variety of paper types and sizes. For details, see page 6.

1. Open the paper support and pull up the extensions. Then open the output tray, pull out the extension, and raise the paper stopper.

2. Pinch the edge guide and slide it to the left.

3. Insert paper, glossy or printable side up, against the right side and behind the tab. (Load letterhead or pre-printed paper top edge first.)

8½ × 11

4 × 6

Always load paper short edge first, even for landscape printing.

Loading Paper

You can load up to 100 sheets of plain paper, or 20 sheets of photo paper. Load other special papers one sheet at a time.

Note:

The type of paper you choose affects the way your printout looks. If you are just making a copy or printing a rough draft, plain paper is fine. However, for the best results, you’ll want to use one of Epson’s special ink jet papers designed for your printer (see “Using Special Papers” for more information).

4. Slide the edge guide against the paper, but not too tightly.

Note:

For details on paper and instructions on loading envelopes, see your online User’s Guide.

Using Special Papers

Epson offers a wide array of high quality papers, making it easy to maximize the impact of your photos, presentations, and creative projects.

You can purchase genuine Epson ink and paper at Epson Supplies Central www.epson.com/ink3 (U.S. sales) or www.epson.ca (Canadian sales). You can also purchase supplies from an Epson authorized reseller. To find the nearest one, call 800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766).

Your NX300/305 Series lets you send faxes by entering fax numbers, selecting entries from a speed dial list, or using the one-touch dial buttons. Using the Automatic Document Feeder, you can fax up to 30 pages at a time.

Note:

For more information on faxing and fax settings, see the online User’s Guide.

Connecting a Phone or Answering Machine

1. Connect the phone cable from the wall jack to the the NX300/305 Series.

Note:

If you’re connecting the NX300/305 Series to a DSL phone line, you must plug a DSL filter into the wall jack or you won’t be able to use the fax or telephone equipment as described below. Contact your DSL provider for the necessary filter.

Maintaining Your Product

Follow the instructions in this chapter for checking and cleaning the print head nozzles and replacing ink cartridges. To align the print head, if necessary, see your online User’s Guide.

Checking the Print Head Nozzles

If your printouts are faint or have gaps in them, some of the nozzles in the print head may be clogged or ink may be running low in one or more of the ink cartridges. Follow the steps below to check the print head nozzles.

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

Cleaning the Print Head

If print quality has declined and the nozzle check indicates clogged nozzles, you can clean the print head. Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if necessary.

Note:

You cannot clean the print head if an ink cartridge is expended, and may not be able to clean it when a cartridge is low. You must replace the cartridge first (see page 38).

Caution:

Never turn off the printer during a cleaning cycle or you may damage it.

5. Press 1 to finish or 2 to run a nozzle check and confirm that the print head is clean.

Note:

If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning the print head three times, turn off your NX300/305 Series and wait at least six hours to let any dried ink soften. Then try printing again. If quality does not improve, one of the ink cartridges may need to be replaced. If that doesn’t help, contact Epson as described on page 44.

If you do not use your NX300/305 Series often, it is a good idea to print a few pages at least once a month to maintain good print quality.

Cleaning the Print Head

Checking the Ink Cartridge Status

You can check the ink cartridge status anytime using the NX300/305 Series display screen. To check the ink cartridge status with your Windows or Macintosh software, see the instructions in your online User’s Guide.

Note:

You cannot print or copy when an ink cartridge is expended even if the other cartridges are not expended. Replace any expended cartridges before printing or copying.

Maintaining Your Product

Purchasing Epson Ink Cartridges

You can purchase genuine Epson ink and paper at Epson Supplies Central at www.epson.com/ink3 (U.S. sales) or www.epson.ca (Canadian sales). You can also purchase supplies from an Epson authorized reseller. To find the nearest one, call 800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766).

Purchase genuine Epson cartridges and use them within six months of installing them and before the expiration date on the cartridge box. When you purchase new ink, use the following Epson ink cartridge numbers:

Ink color Moderate use Standard capacity High capacity

Black 88 69 68

Cyan 88 69 —

Magenta 88 69 —

Yellow 88 69 —

Note:

We recommend that you use genuine Epson cartridges and do not refill them. The use of other products may affect your print quality and could result in printer damage.

Yields vary considerably based on images printed, print settings, paper type, frequency of use, and temperature. For print quality, a small amount of ink remains in the cartridge after the “replace cartridge” indicator comes on. The printer ships with full cartridges and part of the ink from the first cartridges is used for priming the printer.

For best printing results, use up a cartridge within six months of opening the package.

Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. If cartridges have been exposed to cold temperatures, allow them to warm up to room temperature for at least 3 hours before using them.

Purchasing Epson Ink Cartridges

Replacing Ink Cartridges

Make sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. You must install new cartridges immediately after removing the old ones.

Caution:

Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges are vacuum packed to maintain reliability.

Leave the expended cartridge(s) installed until you have obtained a replacement, or the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.

1. Turn on the NX300/305 Series.

If an ink cartridge is low or expended, you see a message on the NX300/305 Series display screen indicating which color to replace. Press

Printing and Copying Problems

■

Make sure your paper is loaded printable side up (usually the whiter, brighter, or glossy side). Load it short edge first, and against the right edge guide. Don’t load paper above the arrow mark inside the left edge guide.

■

Make sure the type of paper you loaded matches the paper size and paper type settings on the control panel when copying or faxing, or in your printer software when printing from your computer (see page 30).

Error Indicators

■

Use the Automatic Document Feeder to fax or scan legal-size documents, but not to copy them. Letter-size paper is automatically selected for copying. If you copy a legal-size document, your image will be cropped.

■

Make sure your original is positioned against the back left corner of the scanner glass. If the edges are cropped, move your original away from the edges slightly.

Paper Feeding Problems

If paper doesn’t feed correctly when printing, remove the paper and flip through the stack to separate the sheets. Reload the paper against the right side and slide the edge guide against it. Do not load too many sheets at once. Load up to 20 sheets of photo paper or 100 sheets of plain paper. Load other special papers one sheet at a time.

If paper has jammed, follow these steps:

1. Gently pull out jammed paper from the output tray or sheet feeder.

2. If paper is stuck inside, press the P

button to turn off the NX300/305 Series. Then lift the scanner, remove the jammed paper and torn pieces, close the scanner, and turn the NX300/305 Series back on.

If documents don’t feed correctly in the Automatic Document Feeder, make sure the corners of the paper are not bent, folded, or curled up. Do not load more than 30 sheets of letter- or 10 sheets of legal-size paper at a time. If documents have jammed:

1. Open the ADF cover and remove any jammed paper.

Caution:

Do not try to remove the paper without opening the ADF cover first, or you could damage the mechanism.

Print Quality Problems

■

For the best print quality, use genuine Epson paper (see page 6) and ink cartridges (see page 37).

■

If you notice light or dark bands across your printouts or they are too faint, run a nozzle check (see page 34) to see if the print head needs cleaning.

■

If you notice jagged vertical lines, you may need to align the print head. See the online User’s Guide for instructions.

■

The ink cartridges may be low on ink. Check your cartridge status (see page 36) and replace cartridges, if necessary (see page 38).

■

If you’re copying, place the document flat against the scanner glass.

■

Clean the scanner glass with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth (paper towels are not recommended), or use a small amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth, if necessary. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the glass.

Important Safety Instructions

Before using your all-in-one, read and follow these safety instructions:

■

Be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.

■

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

■

Use only the power cord that comes with the product. Use of another cord may cause fires or shock. Do not use the cord with any other equipment.

■

Place the product near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.

■

If you won’t be using the product for a long period, unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

■

Always turn off the product using the POn button, and wait until the POn light stops flashing before unplugging the printer or cutting off power to the electrical outlet.

■

Avoid plugging the product into an outlet on the same circuit as a photocopier or air conditioning system that regularly switches on and off, or on an outlet controlled by a wall switch or timer.

■

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.

■

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.

■

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.

■

Avoid placing the product in 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. Make sure the product is at least 4 inches (10 cm) away from the wall.

■

Do not place the product near a radiator or heating vent or in direct sunlight.

■

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

Notices

■

Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the printer. Doing so may cause fire.

■

Do not press too hard on the document table when placing the originals.

■

Do not open the scanner section while the product is in use.

■

Do not touch the flat white cable inside the product.

■

Do not spill liquid on the product.

■

Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. 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.

LCD Screen Safety

■

Use only a dry, soft cloth to clean the LCD screen. Do not use liquid or chemical cleansers.

■

If the LCD screen is damaged, contact Epson. If the liquid crystal solution gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If the liquid crystal solution gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.

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 removing an expended one. Leaving cartridges uninstalled can dry out 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. Do not store the cartridge upside down.

Notices

On the back side is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and the ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your local telephone company. The information associated with the services the equipment is to be connected are REN: 0.1B Jack type: RJ-11C

The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices that you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that you may connect to your line, you may want to contact your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US: BKMFA01BC362A. The digits represented by 01 are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 01 is a REN of 0.1). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
