FPO
Page 15
You can load up to 100 sheets of plain paper or 20 sheets of photo paper. Load other special papers one sheet at a time. See your on-screen Epson Information Center for more information.
Note:
The type of paper you choose affects the way your printout looks. If you are just making a copy or printing a rough draft, plain paper is fine. However, for the best results, you’ll want to use one of Epson’s special ink jet papers designed for your printer. For example, your photos will look great printed on Epson Premium Photo Paper Glossy (see “Using Special Papers” for more information).
4. Slide the edge guide against the paper, but not too tightly.
Note:
For details on paper and instructions on loading envelopes, see your on-screen Epson Information Center.

Follow the instructions in this chapter for checking and cleaning the print head nozzles and replacing ink cartridges. To align the print head, if necessary, see your on-screen Epson Information Center.

Checking the Print Head Nozzles

If your printouts are faint or have gaps in them, some of the nozzles in the print head may be clogged or ink may be running low in one or more of the ink cartridges. Follow the steps below to check the print head nozzles.
1. Load letter-size plain paper in the sheet feeder.

5. Press 1 to finish or 2 to run a nozzle check and confirm that the print head is clean.
Note:
If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning the print head four times, turn off your WorkForce 310 Series and wait at least six hours to let any dried ink soften. Then try printing again. If quality does not improve, one of the ink cartridges may need to be replaced. If that doesn’t help, contact Epson as described on page 54.
If you do not use your WorkForce 310 Series often, it is a good idea to print a few pages at least once a month to maintain good print quality.

Purchasing Epson Ink Cartridges

You can purchase genuine Epson ink and paper at Epson Supplies Central at www.epson.com/ink3 (U.S. sales) or www.epson.ca (Canadian sales). You can also purchase supplies from an Epson authorized reseller. To find the nearest one, call 800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766).
Purchase genuine Epson cartridges and use them within six months of installing them and before the expiration date on the cartridge box. When you purchase new ink, use the following Epson ink cartridge numbers:
Ink color Standard-capacity High-capacity
Black 69 68
Cyan 69 68
Magenta 69 68
Yellow 69 68
Note:
We recommend that you use genuine Epson cartridges and do not refill them. The use of other products may affect your print quality and could result in printer damage.
Yields vary considerably based on images printed, print settings, paper type, frequency of use, and temperature. For print quality, a small amount of ink remains in the cartridge after the “replace cartridge” indicator comes on. The printer ships with full cartridges and part of the ink from the first cartridges is used for priming the printer.
Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. If cartridges have been exposed to cold temperatures, allow them to warm up to room temperature for at least 3 hours before using them.
Purchasing Epson Ink Cartridges

Replacing Ink Cartridges

Make sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. You must install new cartridges immediately after removing the old ones.
Caution:
Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges are vacuum packed to maintain reliability.
Leave the expended cartridge(s) installed until you have obtained a replacement, or the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.
1. Turn on the WorkForce 310 Series.
If an ink cartridge is low or expended, you see a message on the WorkForce 310 Series display screen indicating which color to replace. Press

Printing and Copying Problems

Make sure your paper is loaded printable side up (usually the whiter, brighter, or glossy side). Load it short edge first, and against the right side. Don’t load paper above the arrow mark inside the edge guide.
Make sure the type of paper you loaded matches the paper size and paper type settings on the control panel or in your printer software (see page 38) when copying or faxing.

Use the Automatic Document Feeder to fax or scan legal-size documents, but not to copy them. Letter-size paper is automatically selected for copying. If you copy a legal-size document, your image will be cropped.
Make sure your original is positioned against the back left corner of the scanner glass. If the edges are cropped, move your original away from the edges slightly.

Paper Feeding Problems

If paper doesn’t feed correctly when printing, remove the paper and flip through the stack to separate the sheets. Reload the paper against the right side and slide the edge guide against it. Do not load too many sheets at once. Load up to 20 sheets of photo paper or 100 sheets of plain paper. Load other special papers one sheet at a time.
If paper has jammed, follow these steps:
1. Gently pull out jammed paper from the output tray or sheet feeder.
2. If paper is stuck inside, press the P
On
button to turn off the WorkForce 310 Series. Then lift the scanner, remove the jammed paper and torn pieces, close the scanner, and turn the WorkForce 310 Series back on.
If documents don’t feed correctly in the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), make sure the corners of the paper are not bent, folded, or curled. Do not load more than 30 sheets of letter-size (or A4) or 10 sheets of legal-size paper at a time. If documents have jammed:
1. Open the ADF cover and remove any jammed paper.
Caution:
Do not try to remove the paper without opening the ADF cover first, or you could damage the mechanism.

Print Quality Problems

For the best print quality, use Epson papers (see page 15) and genuine Epson ink cartridges (see page 46).
If you notice light or dark bands across your printouts or they are too faint, run a nozzle check (see page 42) to see if the print head needs cleaning.
If you notice jagged vertical lines, you may need to align the print head. See the on-screen Epson Information Center for instructions.
The ink cartridges may be low on ink. Check your cartridge status (see page 44) and replace cartridges, if necessary (see page 46).
If you’re copying, place the document flat against the scanner glass.
Clean the scanner glass with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth (paper towels are not recommended), or use a small amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth, if necessary. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the glass.

Epson America, Inc., Limited Warranty

What Is Covered: Epson America, Inc. (“Epson”) warrants to the original retail purchaser that the Epson printer covered by this limited warranty statement, if purchased and operated only in the United States or Canada, will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of one (1) year from the date of original purchase. For warranty service, you must provide proof of the date of original purchase.
What Epson Will Do To Correct Problems: Should your Epson printer prove defective during the warranty period, please call the Epson Connection at (562) 276-4382 (U.S.) or (905) 709-3839 (Canada) for warranty repair instructions and return authorization. An Epson service technician will provide telephone diagnostic service to determine whether the printer requires service. If service is needed, Epson will, at its option, exchange or repair the printer without charge for parts or labor. If Epson authorizes an exchange for the defective unit, Epson will ship a replacement printer to you, freight prepaid, so long as you use an address in Canada or the U.S. (excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. Possessions). Shipments to other locations will be made freight collect. You are responsible for securely packaging the defective unit and returning it to Epson within five (5) working days of receipt of the replacement. Epson requires a debit or a credit card number to secure the cost of the replacement printer in the event that you fail to return the defective one. If Epson authorizes repair instead of exchange, Epson will direct you to send your printer to Epson or its authorized service center, where the printer will be repaired and sent back to you. You are responsible for packing the printer and for all costs to and from the Epson authorized service center. When warranty service involves the exchange of the printer or a part, the item replaced becomes Epson property. The replacement printer or part may be new or refurbished to the Epson standard of quality, and, at Epson's option, may be another model of like kind and quality. Exchange products and parts assume the remaining warranty period of your original product covered by this limited warranty.
