Choose a Location for the Printer

Choose a location for the printer that is near a wall outlet where the power cord
can be easily unplugged. Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature
and humidity. Also keep the printer away from direct sunlight, strong light, or
heat sources.

Make sure to place the printer on a flat, stable surface with enough space on all
sides (see illustration below). The surface supporting the printer should be wider
than the space between the rubber feet on the bottom of the printer and capable
of supporting the weight shown below.

Fill Ink Tanks

Warning: Keep the ink bottles out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.

Caution: This product requires careful handling of ink. If ink spills, wipe it off

immediately with a damp towel to avoid permanent stains. If ink gets on your clothes
or belongings, it may not come off.

Note:

• Epson cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of third-party ink.

• Use the ink bottles included with the printer to set up the product. Part of the
ink will be used to charge the print head. These bottles may print fewer pages
compared with replacement ink bottles.

1 Open the ink tank cover.

5 Wait for the ink to fill the tank. Do not squeeze the bottle. Ink flows

into the tank and stops automatically when the ink tank is filled to the
upper line.

Note: If ink does not flow from the bottle, lift and reinsert the bottle.

Caution: After setup, periodically inspect the ink level to ensure it is not

below the lowest line on the tank. Prolonged use when ink is below the lowest
line could damage the product. See the online User's Guide for refilling
instructions.
