gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water.

Do not shake the ink cartridges; this can cause leakage.

❏

Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from

❏

Once you install an ink cartridge, do not open the clamp or

❏

remove the cartridge except to replace it with a new one. Otherwise, the cartridge may become unusable.

Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the

❏

Printing Your Page

Loading Special Paper and Other Media

You can achieve good results with most plain bond paper. However, coated paper and glossy film result in higher quality printouts because these media absorb smaller amounts of ink.

You can print on a wide variety of special media, including ink jet paper, photo quality glossy film, photo paper, transparencies, index cards, and adhesive sheets.

EPSON distributes special media that are formulated for the ink used in EPSON ink jet devices. It is recommended that you use these media to ensure high-quality results. See “EPSON special media” on page 89 for a complete list of these products.

When loading special media distributed by EPSON, read the instructions included with the media and keep the following points in mind.

Make sure the printable side of the paper is facing up when

❏

loading media into the paper feeder. See the instruction sheets packed with the media to determine which side is the printable surface. Some media have cut corners to help identify the correct loading direction, as shown in the illustration.

❏

front cover and reposition the lever.

Note:

❏

Return the adjust lever to the “0” position before printing or copying using media of normal thickness. Leaving the lever in the “+” position may cause gaps in the printed image.

The above sample is in black and white, but the actual test prints in color (CMYK).

If the nozzle check page does not print satisfactorily (for example, if any segment of the printed lines is missing) there is a problem with the Stylus Scan’s printer function. This could be a clogged ink nozzle or a misaligned print head. See the next section for details on cleaning the print head. For information on aligning the print head, see “Aligning the Print Head” on page 73.

Cleaning the Print Head

If you find that printouts and copies are unexpectedly faint or that there are gaps (missing dots) in the printed image, you may be able to solve the problem by cleaning the print head. Cleaning the print head ensures that the nozzles are delivering the ink properly.

You can clean the print head from your computer using the Head Cleaning utility in the printer software, or from the Stylus Scan itself by using the control panel buttons.

Note:

❏

Print head cleaning uses both color and black ink. To avoid wasting ink, clean the print head only if print quality declines.

❏

Use the Nozzle Check utility first to confirm that the print head needs to be cleaned. This saves ink.

❏

When the cannot clean the print head. Replace the appropriate ink cartridge first.

Use a protection sheet

If your document or photo has an irregular shape, use a protection sheet. Make sure your photo or document is placed as straight as possible in the protection sheet and that the sheet is loaded straight in the document feeder.

Paper does not feed into or eject from the Stylus Scan properly

Follow the procedures outlined below to prevent problems when feeding and ejecting paper from the document feeder.

Note:

These procedures do not apply to paper jammed in the Stylus Scan’s paper feeder. The paper feeder is not used when scanning.

Preventing document jams

Make sure the Stylus Scan is placed far enough from walls and equipment so that the document support is seated properly and not pushed forward. Also make sure that there is no paper in the document support to obstruct the movement of the original. Check that the document support is installed correctly and that the original can move freely on and off it.

Clearing a document jam

Turn off your Stylus Scan. Open the top cover and remove the jammed paper. If any applications are still running, turn them off before turning off the Stylus Scan.
