❏ Do not block or cover the vents and openings in the printer.

❏ Use only the type of power source indicated on the printer's label.

❏ Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and

❏ 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 or the base units of cordless telephones.

❏ e power-supply cords should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do not place

objects on top of the power-supply cords and do not allow the power-supply cords to be stepped on or run over. Be particularly careful to keep all the power-supply cords straight at the ends and the points where they enter and leave the transformer.

❏ If you use an extension cord with the printer, make sure that the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into

the extension cord does not exceed the cord's ampere rating. Also, make sure that the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet's ampere rating.

❏ If you plan to use the printer in Germany, the building installation must be protected by a 10 or 16 amp circuit

breaker to provide adequate short-circuit protection and over-current protection for the printer.

Paper Handling Precautions

❏ Read the instruction sheets supplied with the paper.

❏ Fan and align the edges of the paper before loading. Do not fan or curl photo paper. Doing so may damage the

printable side.

❏ If the paper is curled, atten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on curled

paper may cause paper jams and smears on the printout.

❏ Do not use paper that is wavy, torn, cut, folded, damp, too thick, too thin, or paper that has stickers stuck to it.

Using these types of paper causes paper jams and smears on the printout.

❏ Make sure you are using long-grain paper. If you are not sure what type of paper you are using, check the paper

packaging or contact the manufacturer to conrm the paper specications.

❏ Fan and align the edges of the envelopes before loading. When the stacked envelopes are

Ink Cartridge Handling Precautions

Read the following instructions before replacing ink cartridges.

Handling precautions

❏ Store ink cartridges at normal room temperature and keep them away from direct sunlight.

❏ Epson recommends using the ink cartridge before the date printed on the package.

❏ For best results, use up ink cartridge within six months of installation.

T9084

T9074

❏ Aer bringing an ink cartridge inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at

least three hours before using it.

❏ Do not touch the sections shown in the illustration. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing.

❏ Install all ink cartridges; otherwise you cannot print.

❏ Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may damage the printer.

❏ Do not turn o the printer during ink charging. If the ink charging is incomplete, you may not be able to print.

❏ Do not leave the printer with the ink cartridges removed; otherwise, ink remaining in the print head nozzles

may dry out and you may not be able to print.

User's Guide

Replacing Ink Cartridges and Other Consumables

❏ If you need to remove an ink cartridge temporarily, make sure you protect the ink supply area from dirt and

dust. Store the ink cartridge in the same environment as the printer. Because the ink supply port is equipped with a valve designed to contain the release of excess ink, there is no need to supply your own covers or plugs.

❏ Removed ink cartridges may have ink around the ink supply port, so be careful not to get any ink on the

surrounding area when removing the cartridges.

❏ is printer uses ink cartridges equipped with a green chip that monitors information such as the amount of

remaining ink for each cartridge. is means that even if the cartridge is removed from the printer before it is expended, you can still use the cartridge aer reinserting it back into the printer.

❏ To ensure you receive premium print quality and to help protect your print head, a variable ink safety reserve

remains in the cartridge when your printer indicates to replace the cartridge. e yields quoted for you do not include this reserve.

❏ Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled materials, this does not aect printer function or

performance.

❏

Specications

❏ Do not disassemble or remodel the ink cartridge, otherwise you may not be able to print normally.

❏ Do not drop or knock it against hard objects; otherwise, the ink may leak.

❏ You cannot use the cartridges that came with the printer for the replacement.

❏ Quoted yields may vary depending on the images that you are printing, the paper type that you are using, the

frequency of your prints and environmental conditions such as temperature.

Consumption of Ink

❏ To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all cartridges not only during

printing but also during maintenance operations such as print head cleaning.

❏ When printing in monochrome or grayscale, color inks instead of black ink may be used depending on the

paper type or print quality settings. is is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.

❏ e ink in the ink cartridges supplied with your printer is partly used during initial setup. In order to produce

high quality printouts, the print head in your printer will be fully charged with ink. is one-o process consumes a quantity of ink and therefore these cartridges may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink cartridges.
