Introduction

Features

The main features of this printer are described below.

Realizing High Productivity

High-speed printing

The speed of the print head and paper feed have been increased for faster printing.

The printer is equipped with a high-speed rotary cutter for quick cutting, significantly increasing productivity.

Improved operability with an easy to see and use color screen

Designed for intuitive operation, the large, brightly-lit, color LCD display is easy to understand and easy to use.

The large display offers detailed, easy-to-understand error messages and illustrated guides to loading paper.

Easy maintenance

Roll paper and all replacements, including ink refills, Maintenance Boxes, and cutters, are installed from the front, allowing the printer to be placed against a wall. The printer does not have to be moved to allow rear access.

U “Screen View” on page 12

Checking current operating status even from afar thanks to an alert lamp

Errors are immediately obvious even at a distance, thanks to the large, highly visible alert lamp. This helps prevent any wasted time when printing has stopped due to running out of ink or paper.

High-capacity ink tank included

The printer includes a high-capacity ink tank for high productivity. We also offer 1000 ml high-capacity ink packs for ink refill. This eliminates the need for frequent troublesome ink cartridge replacements.

Insistence on Ease-of-Use

Spindle-free roll paper adapter makes loading roll paper a snap

The lack of a spindle makes it possible to load and remove roll paper even in environments where space is at a premium.

To load roll paper, simply place it on the roll rest and attach roll paper adapters to both ends. The roll rest is low, making it easy even for short workers to load paper.

Notes on Usage and Storage

Installation space

Make sure that you secure the following space, clear of any other objects, so that paper ejection and consumable replacement are not obstructed.

See the "Specifications Table" for the external dimensions of the printer.

U “Specifications Table” on page 67

❏ Do not install the printer next to heat sources or

directly in the path of air from a ventilator or air conditioner. Failure to observe this precaution could result in the print head nozzles drying and clogging.

❏ The print head may not be capped (i.e., may not

move to the right-hand side) if an error occurs and the printer is turned off without first resolving the error. Capping is a function for automatically covering the print head with a cap (lid) to prevent the print head from drying out. In this case, turn on the power and wait a while until capping is performed automatically.

❏ When the power is on, do not remove the power

plug or cut the power at the breaker. The print head may not be capped properly. In this case, turn on the power and wait a while until capping is performed automatically.

❏ Even when the printer is not in use, some ink will be

consumed by head cleaning and other maintenance operations needed to keep the print head in good condition.

Notes when using the printer

Note the following points when using this printer to avoid breakdowns, malfunctions, and print quality decline.

❏ When using the printer, observe the operating

temperature and humidity range described in the "Specifications Table". U “Specifications Table”

on page 67

Even when the conditions above are met, you may not be able to print properly if the environmental conditions are not suitable for the paper. Be sure to use the printer in an environment where the paper's requirements are met. For more details, see the documentation supplied with the paper.

Also, when operating in dry areas, air conditioned environment, or under direct sunlight, maintain the appropriate humidity.

Notes when not using the printer

If you are not using it, note the following points when storing the printer. If it is not stored correctly, you may not be able to print properly the next time it is used.

❏ If you do not print for a long time, the print head

nozzles may become clogged. Turn the printer on at least once every two weeks to prevent the print head clogging.

When the printer is turned on, head cleaning is performed automatically. Do not turn the printer off until cleaning is complete.

Leaving the printer for too long without turning it on may result in a malfunction. Repair work for such malfunction will be charged.

❏ If you will not be using the printer for more than 2

weeks, maintenance must be performed by a service engineer before and after this period. This maintenance work will be charged.

Note that even if proper maintenance has been done before leaving the printer for a long time, repair may be necessary when doing maintenance for reusing the printer, depending on the period

SC-F6000 Series User’s Guide

Introduction

and conditions of storage. In such a case, the repair work will also be charged.

Contact your dealer or Epson Support.

❏ The roller may leave an impression on paper that is

left in the printer. This can also cause wavy or curled paper resulting in paper feeding problems or the print head could be scratched. Remove any paper when storing.

❏ Store the printer after confirming that the print

head has been capped (the print head is positioned at the far right). If the print head is left uncapped for a long time, the print quality may decline.

Note:

If the print head is not capped, turn the printer on, and then turn it off.

❏ To prevent the accumulation of dust and other

foreign matter in the printer, close all covers before placing it in storage.

If the printer will be not be used for an extended period, protect it with an anti-static cloth or other cover.

❏ To ensure print quality, use all the ink in the ink

pack before the earlier of the following dates:

❏ The date printed on the ink pack

❏ 25 days from the day that the ink tank was

refilled from the ink pack

❏ If the ink pack has been stored in a cold location for

a long period of time, keep at room temperature for at least 4 hours before using.

❏ When refilling the ink in an ink tank, be sure to use

all the ink in the ink pack at once.

❏ Refill the ink tank as soon as possible after opening

the ink pack.

❏ Do not place any objects on top of the ink tank.

Notes on handling paper

Note the following points when handling and storing the paper. If the paper is not in good condition, print quality may decline.

Check the documentation supplied with each paper.

The print head nozzles are very small, and they can become clogged easily if fine dust gets on the print head, and you may not be able to print properly.

❏ When turned on after an extended period of disuse,

the printer may automatically perform head cleaning to ensure print quality.

Head cleaning will end after about 10 to 15 minutes.

Notes on Handling Ink Packs and Ink Tanks

Note the following points when handling ink packs and ink tanks.

❏ Do not remove the ink tanks.

Ink tanks are calibrated when installed. Removing them can harm quality and functionality.

❏ Store ink packs at room temperature out of direct

sunlight.

Notes on Handling

❏ Do not fold the paper or scratch the surface of the

paper.

❏ Avoid touching the printable surface of the paper

with your bare hands. Moisture and oils from your hands can affect print quality.

❏ Handle paper by the edges. We recommend

wearing cotton gloves.

❏ Do not wet the paper.

❏ Do not throw away the paper packaging as you can

use it for storing the paper.

❏ Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight,

excessive heat, or humidity.

❏ Remove roll paper that is not in use from the

printer. Rewind it correctly and then store it in the original packaging that came with the roll paper. If you leave the roll paper in the printer for a long time, its quality may decline.

SC-F6000 Series User’s Guide

Introduction

Notes on handling printed paper

To maintain long lasting, high quality print results, note the following points.

❏ Do not rub or scratch the printed surface. If they are

rubbed or scratched, the ink may peel off.

❏ Do not touch the printed surface; Failure to observe

this precaution may cause ink to rub off.

❏ Make sure the print outs are completely dry before

folding of stacking; otherwise, the color may change where they touch (leaves a mark). These marks will disappear if they are separated immediately and dried; however, they will remain if not separated.

❏ If you put the print outs in an album before they are

completely dry, they may be blurred.

❏ Do not use a dryer to dry the print outs.

❏ Avoid direct sunlight.

❏ Prevent color distortion while displaying or storing

the print outs by following the instructions in the paper's documentation.

Note:

Typically, print outs and photos fade over time (color distortion) due to the effects of light and various constituents in the air. But, if care is taken in how these items are stored, you can help reduce discoloration.

The colors of photos, posters, and other printed materials appear different under different lighting conditions (light

sources also appear different under different light sources.

Cleaning the print head

From the control panel you can clean all nozzles or select to clean only those nozzles for which the printed nozzle check pattern indicates a problem.

Notes on head cleaning

Note the following points when performing head cleaning.

❏ Clean the print head only if print quality declines;

for example, if the printout is blurry or the color is incorrect or missing. Ink is consumed when head cleaning is performed.

❏ Cleaning all nozzles consumes some of each color of

ink. Even if you are using only black inks for black and white printing, color inks are also consumed.

❏ When repeating head cleaning in a short time

period, the Maintenance Box may fill up quickly due to a small amount of ink evaporation in the Maintenance Box. Prepare a spare Maintenance Box if there is not enough empty space in the box.

❏ If the nozzles are still clogged after performing head

cleaning, turn off the printer and leave it overnight or longer. When left for some time, the clogged ink may dissolve.

U “Checking for clogged nozzles” on page 45

Minimizing Print Misalignments (Head Alignment)

Because there is a small distance between the print head and paper, misalignment may occur due to humidity or temperature, the inertial force of the print head's movements, or by moving the print head bidirectionally. This may result in grainy prints or lines that are incorrectly placed. When this happens, perform Head Alignment to correct the print misalignment.

For head alignment, you need to check the pattern and enter the optimum adjustment value for alignment.

SC-F6000 Series User’s Guide

Maintenance

Printing the pattern for head alignment takes from 7 to 11 minutes. The time required varies with the size of the pattern printed.

You can select between Uni-D and Bi-D head alignment. Bi-D is recommended in most circumstances. Choose Uni-D if Bi-D head alignment does not completely fix the problem.

Note:

Head Alignment is adjusted according to the paper currently loaded in the printer. Load the paper for which head alignment is required.

Head Alignment may also fail to produce the desired results if nozzles are clogged. Perform head cleaning to clear any clogs before proceeding.

Replacing and Refilling Consumables

Time Period for Chip Unit Replacements and Ink Refills

If the message Chip unit expended. is displayed on the control panel, this means that the chip unit needs to be replaced soon. Obtain an ink pack of the appropriate color as soon as possible.

You will be unable to print if the chip unit for even one color needs to be replaced. If the Chip unit expended. message is displayed during a print job, you can replace the chip unit and refill the ink while printing continues.

Ink Packs Compatible with this Printer U “Options

and Consumable Products” on page 64

Important:

This printer has a remaining ink warning system. Use the following procedure for replacement and ink refills to replace the chip unit and refill the ink correctly.

When you are using the ink of initial filling after the service engineer attaches the ink tank, replace the chip unit and refill the ink when remaining ink is about 70 mm from the bottom of the ink tank.

This system does not directly detect the amount of ink remaining in the ink tank. Instead, the amount of ink remaining is estimated based on the ink usage conditions and displayed as a message. To maintain the accuracy of this system, you must replace the chip unit and refill the ink as soon as possible once the remaining ink is 70 mm or less from the bottom of the ink tank.

Caution:

❏ Store ink packs in a location out of reach of

children.

❏ Wear protective eyewear and gloves when

refilling ink.

Be sure to read the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before using ink packs. You can download it at your local Epson Web site.

Should ink contact your skin or enter your eyes or mouth, immediately take the following actions:

❏ If fluid adheres to your skin, immediately wash it

off using large volumes of soapy water. Consult a physician if the skin appears irritated or is discolored.

❏ If fluid enters your eyes, rinse immediately with

water. Failure to observe this precaution could result in bloodshot eyes or mild inflammation. If problems persist, consult with a physician.

❏ If swallowed, induce vomiting immediately and

consult with a physician as soon as possible.

❏ Note the following points when refilling ink.

❏ Gently tear off the ink pack spout opening.

If you cut the nozzle too quickly, ink may splatter.

❏ Do not squeeze open ink packs. Ink may spill.

❏ Gently tilt the ink pack when pouring ink into the

ink tank.

Important:

❏ Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson

ink packs.

Procedure for Replacement and Ink Refills

You can use the same procedure to replace chip units for all colors.

Information about non-genuine chip unit status may not be displayed, and use of non-genuine ink is recorded for possible use in service support.

❏ Genuine Epson ink packs, other than those

specified in this manual, could cause damage that is not covered by Epson’s warranties.

Maintenance

If the message Chip unit expended. is displayed

on the control panel screen, check the remaining ink in the ink tank via the scale on the ink pack.

If the remaining ink level is greater than 70 mm from the base of the ink tank:

We recommend continuing to use the printer until the remaining ink level is 70 mm from the base of the ink tank so that you can use all the ink in a new ink pack to refill the ink tank.

Open the side cover.

Insert a finger into the depression on the top of

the slider and pull straight outward.

If the remaining ink level is 70 mm or less:

Proceed to Step 2.

Important:

When the remaining ink is 70 mm or more from the bottom of the ink tank and a message appears stating, Refill Ink Tank, it is time to replace the ink tank. We recommend replacing the ink tank at this time. Replacements and repairs will be provided for a fee.

During replacements and repairs, the ink in the ink tank is discarded. This is necessary because fine dirt, dust and other foreign bodies mixed the ink in the ink tank cause the ink tank to malfunction.

The ink tank replacement interval depends on the usage environment and conditions.

Contact your dealer or Epson Support.

Important:

Do not tilt the slider. If the chip unit is dropped it may break.

Remove the chip unit from the slider.

2.4 Third Party Rights. You expressly acknowledge and agree that although Apple and each Contributor grants the licenses to their respective portions of the Covered Code set forth herein, no assurances are provided by Apple or any Contributor that the Covered Code does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity. Apple and each Contributor disclaim any liability to You for claims brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, You hereby assume sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent license is required to allow You to distribute the Covered Code, it is Your responsibility to acquire that license before distributing the Covered Code.

3. Your Grants. In consideration of, and as a condition to, the licenses granted to You under this License, You hereby grant to any person or entity receiving or distributing Covered Code under this License a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license, under Your Applicable Patent Rights and other intellectual property rights (other than patent) owned or controlled by You, to use, reproduce, display, perform, modify, sublicense, distribute and Externally Deploy Your Modifications of the same scope and extent as Apple's licenses under Sections 2.1 and 2.2 above.

4. Larger Works. You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code with other code not governed by the terms of this License and distribute the Larger Work as a singl e p ro d uc t . In e a ch s u ch i ns t ance, You must make sure the requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Covered Code or any portion thereof.

5. Limitations on Patent License. Except as expressly stated in Section 2, no other patent rights, express or implied, are granted by Apple herein. Modifications and/or Larger Works may require additional patent licenses from Apple which Apple may grant in its sole discretion.

6. Additional Terms. You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations and/or other rights consistent with the scope of the license granted herein ("Additional Terms") to one or more recipients of Covered Code. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf and as Your sole responsibility, and not on behalf of Apple or any Contributor. You must obtain the recipient's agreement that any such Additional Terms are offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold Apple and every Contributor harmless for any liability incurred by or claims asserted against Apple or such Contributor by reason of any such Additional Terms.

7. Versions of the License. Apple may publish revised and/or new versions of this License from time to time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number. Once Original Code has been published under a particular version of this License, You may continue to use it under the terms of that version. You may also choose to use such Original Code under the terms of any subsequent version of this License published by Apple. No one other than Apple has the right to modify the terms applicable to Covered Code created under this License.

8. NO WARRANTY OR SUPPORT. The Covered Code may contain in whole or in part pre-release, untested, or not fully tested works. The Covered Code may contain errors that could cause failures or loss of data, and may be incomplete or contain inaccuracies. You expressly acknowledge and agree that use of the Covered Code, or any portion thereof, is at Your sole and entire risk. THE COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTY, UPGRADES OR SUPPORT OF ANY KIND AND APPLE AND APPLE'S LICENSOR(S) (COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS "APPLE" FOR THE PURPOSES OF SECTIONS 8 AND 9) AND ALL CONTRIBUTORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OF ACCURACY, OF QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. APPLE AND EACH CONTRIBUTOR DOES NOT WARRANT AGAINST INTERFERENCE WITH YOUR ENJOYMENT OF THE COVERED CODE, THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE COVERED CODE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, THAT THE OPERATION OF THE COVERED CODE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS IN THE COVERED CODE WILL BE CORRECTED. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY APPLE, AN APPLE AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OR ANY CONTRIBUTOR SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY. You acknowledge that the Covered Code is not intended for use in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation, communication systems, or air traffic control machines in which case the failure of the Covered Code could lead to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage.

9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL APPLE OR ANY CONTRIBUTOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LICENSE OR YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE COVERED CODE, OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, WHETHER UNDER A THEORY OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCTS LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF APPLE OR SUCH CONTRIBUTOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. In no event shall Apple's total liability to You for all damages (other than as may be required by applicable law) under this License exceed the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00).

10. Trademarks. This License does not grant any rights to use the trademarks or trade names "Apple", "Apple Computer", "Mac", "Mac OS", "QuickTime", "QuickTime Streaming Server" or any other trademarks, service marks, logos or trade names belonging to Apple (collectively "Apple Marks") or to any trademark, service mark, logo or trade name belonging to any Contributor. You agree not to use any Apple Marks in or as part of the name of products derived from the Original Code or to endorse or promote products derived from the Original Code other than as expressly permitted by and in strict compliance at all times with Apple's third party trademark usage guidelines which are posted at http://www.apple.com/legal/guidelinesfor3rdparties.html.

11. Ownership. Subject to the licenses granted under this License, each Contributor retains all rights, title and interest in and to any Modifications made by such Contributor. Apple retains all rights, title and interest in and to the Original Code and any Modifications made by or on behalf of Apple ("Apple Modifications"), and such Apple Modifications will not be automatically subject to this License. Apple may, at its sole discretion, choose to license such Apple Modifications under this License, or on different terms from those contained in this License or may choose not to license them at all.

12. Termination.

12.1 Termination. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate:

(a) automatically without notice from Apple if You fail to comply with any term(s) of this License and fail to cure such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of such breach;

(b) immediately in the event of the circumstances described in Section 13.5(b); or

(c) automatically without notice from Apple if You, at any time during the term of this License, commence an action for patent infringement against Apple; provided that Apple did not first commence an action for patent infringement against You in that instance.

12.2 Effect of Termination. Upon termination, You agree to immediately stop any further use, reproduction, modification, sublicensing and distribution of the Covered Code. All sublicenses to the Covered Code which have been properly granted prior to termination shall survive any termination of this License. Provisions which, by their nature, should remain in effect beyond the termination of this License shall survive, including but not limited to Sections 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.2 and 13. No party will be liable to any other for compensation, indemnity or damages of any sort solely as a result of terminating this License in accordance with its terms, and termination of this License will be without prejudice to any other right or remedy of any party.

13. Miscellaneous.

13.1 Government End Users. The Covered Code is a "commercial item" as defined in FAR 2.101. Government software and technical data rights in the Covered Code include only those rights customarily provided to the public as defined in this License.

13.3 Independent Development. Nothing in this License will impair Apple's right to acquire, license, develop, have others develop for it, market and/or distr i bu t e te c hn o l og y o r p r od u c ts t h at p er f orm the same or similar functions as, or otherwise compete with, Modifications, Larger Works, technology or products that You may develop, produce, market or distribute.

13.5 Severability. (a) If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this License, or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision of the License will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the economic benefits and intent of the parties, and the remainder of this License will continue in full force and effect. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable law prohibits or restricts You from fully and/or specifically complying with Sections 2 and/or 3 or prevents the enforceability of either of those Sections, this License will immediately terminate and You must immediately discontinue any use of the Covered Code and destroy all copies of it that are in your possession or control.
