Do not place the Stylus Scan on an unstable surface, or near a
❏
radiator or heat source.
Do not block or cover the openings in the Stylus Scan’s
❏
cabinet.
Do not insert objects through the slots. Do not spill liquid on
❏
the Stylus Scan.
Use only the type of power source indicated on the Stylus
❏

❏
Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as air control systems
or other high- load office devices that regularly switch on and
off.
Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or
❏
automatic timers.
Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources
❏
of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers and the
base units of cordless telephones.
Do not use a damaged or frayed power cord.
❏
1
If you use an extension cord with the Stylus Scan, make sure
❏
the total amperage 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.
Do not attempt to service the Stylus Scan yourself.
❏
Unplug the Stylus Scan and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under any of the following conditions:
The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the
❏
Stylus Scan; the Stylus Scan has been dropped or the cabinet
damaged; the Stylus Scan does not operate normally or
exhibits a distinct change in performance.
If you are using the Stylus Scan in Germany, observe the
❏
following:
To provide adequate short-circuit protection and overcurrent protection for this Stylus Scan, the building
installation must be protected by a 16 Amp circuit breaker.
Bei Anschluß des Druckers an die Stromversorgung muß

light flashes briefly
Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from
❏
its package. Leaving the cartridge unpacked for a long time
before use may result in reduced print quality.
Once you install an ink cartridge, do not open the clamp or
❏
remove the cartridge except to replace it with a new one. The
cartridge becomes unusable when you open the clamp.
Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the

humidity. Also keep the Stylus Scan away from direct
sunlight, strong light, and heat sources.
Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations.
❏
Leave enough room around the Stylus Scan to allow for
❏
sufficient ventilation.
Place the Stylus Scan near a wall outlet where the power cord
❏
can be easily unplugged.

Printing Your Page
Loading Special Paper and Other Media
You can achieve good results with most plain bond paper.
However, using coated paper or glossy film gives you 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,
envelopes, 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 103 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.
10
Make sure the printable side of the paper is facing up when
❏
loading media into the sheet feeder. See the instructions
included with the media to determine which side is the
printable surface. Some media come with one corner removed
to help identify the correct loading direction, as shown in the
illustration.

Note that Ink Jet Cards may curl if you set the Printable Area to
Maximum when printing. If you are going to print on both sides
of these cards, print the printable side first, and then flatten the
cards (or bend them slightly in the opposite direction) before
printing the back side. Set the adjust lever to the “+” position
before printing on the second side.
About special media cleaning sheets
Cleaning sheets packaged with EPSON special media should not
be used with the Stylus Scan. These sheets are unnecessary, and
may cause jams.
