Paper and Media Handling

Introduction to Using, Loading, and Storing Media

You can achieve good results with most types of plain paper. However, coated papers provide superior prints because they absorb less ink.

Epson provides special papers that are formulated for the ink used in Epson ink jet products, and recommends these papers to ensure high-quality results.

When loading special paper distributed by Epson, read the instruction sheets packed with the paper first and keep the following points in mind.

Note:

❏ Load the paper into the paper cassette printable side down. The printable side is usually whiter or glossier. See the

instruction sheets packed with the paper for more information. Some types of paper have cut corners to help identify the correct loading direction.

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

cause ink to smear on your prints.

Storing paper

Return unused paper to the original package as soon as you finish printing. When handling special media, Epson recommends storing your prints in a resealable plastic bag. Keep unused paper and prints away from high temperature, humidity, and direct sunlight.

Selecting Paper

The following table shows supported paper types. The loading capacity, paper source, and availability of borderless printing vary by paper as shown below.

Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions, Precautions, and Specifications

Safety instructions

Observe the following when handling the ink cartridges:

❏ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.

❏ Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges, as there may be some ink around the ink supply port.

If ink gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems continue after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately. If ink gets into your mouth, spit it out immediately and see a doctor right away.

❏ Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this can cause leakage.

❏ Do not remove the transparent seal from the bottom of the cartridge; otherwise, the cartridge may become

unusable.

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

User’s Guide

Replacing Ink Cartridges

❏ Do not touch the green chip or the small window on the side of the cartridge. Doing so may prevent normal

operation and printing.

❏ Do not leave the product with the ink cartridges removed or do not turn off the product during cartridge

replacement. Otherwise, ink remaining in the print head nozzles will dry out and you may not be able to print.

Precautions on ink cartridge replacement

Read all of the instructions in this section before replacing the ink cartridges.

❏ Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson ink cartridges. Epson cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of

non-genuine ink. The use of non-genuine ink may cause damage that is not covered by Epson’s warranties, and under certain circumstances, may cause erratic product behavior. Information about non-genuine ink levels may not be displayed.

❏ Gently shake all ink cartridges four or five times before opening the package.

❏ Do not shake ink cartridges too vigorously; otherwise ink may leak from the cartridge.

❏ This product uses ink cartridges equipped with an IC chip that monitors information such as the amount of

remaining ink for each cartridge. This means that even if the cartridge is removed from the product before it is expended, you can still use the cartridge after reinserting it back into the product. However, when reinserting a cartridge, some ink may be consumed to guarantee product performance.

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

printing but also during maintenance operations such as ink cartridge replacement and print head cleaning.

❏ If you need to remove an ink cartridge temporarily, be sure to protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust. Store

the ink cartridge in the same environment as the product. When storing the cartridge, be sure that its label identifying the color of the ink cartridge is facing upward. Do not store ink cartridges upside down.

❏ 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. However, careful handling is recommended. Do not touch the supply port of the ink cartridge or its surrounding area.

❏ For maximum ink efficiency, only remove an ink cartridge when you are ready to replace it. Ink cartridges with

low ink status may not be used when reinserted.

❏ Do not open the ink cartridge package until you are ready to install it in the product. The cartridge is vacuum

packed to maintain its reliability. If you leave a cartridge unpacked for a long time before using it, normal printing may not be possible.

❏ Install all ink cartridges; otherwise, you cannot print.

User’s Guide

Replacing Ink Cartridges

❏ When color ink is expended and black ink still remains, you can continue printing temporarily with black ink

only. For more information refer to “Temporary Printing with Black Ink When Color Ink Cartridges are

Expended” on page 57.

❏ If an ink cartridge is running low, prepare a new ink cartridge.

❏ Be careful not to break the hooks on the side of the ink cartridge when you remove it from the package.

❏ You must remove the yellow tape from the cartridge before installing it; otherwise, print quality may decline or

you may not be able to print.

❏ After 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.

❏ Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place.

❏ Store ink cartridges with their labels facing upward. Do not store cartridges upside down.

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

Ink Cartridge Specifications

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

❏ The ink cartridges packaged with your product are partly used during initial setup. In order to produce high

quality printouts, the print head in your product will be fully charged with ink. This one-off process consumes a quantity of ink and therefore these cartridges may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink cartridges.

❏ 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.

❏ 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 product indicates to replace the cartridge. The yields quoted for you do not include this reserve.

❏ Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled materials, this does not affect product function or performance.

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

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

Checking the Ink Cartridge Status

For Windows

Note:

When an ink cartridge is running low, the Low Ink Reminder screen automatically appears. You can also check the ink cartridge status from this screen. If you do not want to display this screen, first access the printer driver and then click the

Maintaining Your Product and Software

Important:

Do not turn off the product during head cleaning. If the head cleaning is incomplete, you may not be able to print.

❏ Perform the nozzle check first to identify any defective color(s); this will allow you to select the appropriate color(s) for

the head cleaning function. Black ink may be used when printing color images. & “Checking the Print Head Nozzles” on page 65

❏ Because print head cleaning uses some ink from some cartridges, clean the print head only if quality declines; for

example, if the printout is blurry or the color is incorrect or missing.

❏ When ink is low you may not be able to clean the print head. When ink is expended you cannot clean the print head.

Replace the appropriate ink cartridge first.

❏ If print quality does not improve, make sure you selected the appropriate color according to the nozzle check result.

❏ If print quality has not improved after repeating this procedure about four times, turn the product off and wait for at

least six hours. Then run the nozzle check again and repeat the head cleaning if necessary. If print quality has still not improved, contact Epson support.

❏ To maintain print quality, we recommend printing a few pages on a regular basis.
