Important Safety Instructions

Before using your Epson product, read and follow these safety instructions:

■ Be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.

■ Use only the type of power source indicated on the product’s label.

■ Use only the power cord that comes with the product. Use of another cord may cause fires or

shock. Do not use the cord with any other equipment.

■ Place the product near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.

■ Avoid plugging the product into an outlet on the same circuit as a photocopier or air control

system that regularly switches on and off, or on an outlet controlled by a wall switch or timer.

■ Do not let the power cord become damaged or frayed.

■ If you use an extension cord with the product, make sure the total ampere rating of the devices

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

■ Allow space behind the product for cables, and space above the product so that you can fully

raise the document cover.

■ Always turn off the product using the P power button. Wait until the P power light stops

flashing before unplugging the product or cutting off power to the electrical outlet.

■ If you will not be using the product for a long period, unplug the power cord from the electrical

outlet.

■ Place the product on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond its base in all directions. It will

not operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle.

■ Make sure the back of the product is more than 4 inches (10 cm) away from the wall.

■ Leave enough space in front of the product for the paper to be fully ejected.

■ Avoid locations that are subject to rapid changes in heat or humidity, shocks or vibrations, or

dust.

■ Do not place or store the product outdoors.

■ Do not place the product near excessive heat sources or in direct sunlight.

■ Leave enough room around the product for sufficient ventilation. Do not block or cover

openings in the case or insert objects through the slots in the product.

■ Keep the product away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as

loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.

■ When connecting the product to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the correct

orientation of the connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a
connector in the wrong orientation may damage both devices connected by the cable.

English

■ Do not touch the flat white cable inside the product.

■ Do not move the print head by hand; this may damage the product.

■ Do not spill liquid on the product or use the product with wet hands.

■ Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the product. Doing

so may cause fire.

■ Except as specifically explained in your documentation, do not attempt to disassemble or

service any part of the product yourself.

■ Unplug the product and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following

conditions: if the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered the product; if the
product has been dropped or the case damaged; if the product does not operate normally or
exhibits a distinct change in performance. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the
operating instructions.

■ If damage occurs to the plug, replace the cord set or consult a qualified electrician. If there are

fuses in the plug, make sure you replace them with fuses of the correct size and rating.

■ Leave the ink cartridges installed. Removing the cartridges can dehydrate the print head and

may prevent the product from printing.

■ Before transporting the product, make sure that the print head is in the home (far right)

position and the ink cartridges are in place.

■ When storing or transporting the product, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it upside

down; otherwise ink may leak from the cartridges.

■ To avoid adversely affecting the operation of the following equipment and causing an accident,

do not use the product: near medical equipment in a medical facility; within 8.7 inches (22 cm)
of a cardiac pacemaker; near automatically controlled devices, such as automatic doors or fire
alarms.

■ Do not press too hard on the scanner glass when placing originals. Be careful not to trap your

fingers when closing the scanner cover.

Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions

■ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.

■ Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges; there may be ink remaining around the ink

supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash it thoroughly with soap and water. If it gets in your
eyes, flush them immediately with water. If ink gets in your mouth, spit it out and see a doctor
right away.

■ Do not put your hand inside the product or touch any cartridges during printing.

■ Install a new ink cartridge immediately after removing an expended one. Leaving cartridges

uninstalled can dry out the print head and may prevent the product from printing.

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

■ Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. This may prevent normal

operation.

2 Important Safety Instructions

■ If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust and

store it in the same environment as the product. Note that there is a valve in the ink supply
port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent the ink from staining
items that the cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink cartridge ink supply port or surrounding
area.

■ Use an ink cartridge before the date printed on its package.

■ Do not dismantle an ink cartridge. This could damage the print head.

■ Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place.

■ 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 with their labels facing upward. Do not store cartridges upside down.

Important Safety Instructions 3

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, Canada, or Puerto Rico, will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a
period of three (3) years 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 [phone] (U.S.) or [phone]
(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 the United States, Canada, or Puerto Rico.
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.

What This Warranty Does Not Cover: This warranty covers only normal use in the United States,
Canada, or Puerto Rico. Using this product for continuous production or similar high duty purposes
is not considered normal use; damage, maintenance or service from such use will not be covered
under this warranty. This warranty is not transferable. This warranty does not cover any color change
or fading of prints or reimbursement of materials or services required for reprinting. This warranty
does not cover damage to the Epson product caused by parts or supplies not manufactured,
distributed or certified by Epson. This warranty does not cover ribbons, ink cartridges or third party
parts, components, or peripheral devices added to the Epson product after its shipment from Epson,
e.g., dealer or user-added boards or components. Epson is not responsible for warranty service should
the Epson label or logo or the rating label or serial number be removed or should the product fail to
be properly maintained or fail to function properly as a result of misuse, abuse, improper installation,
neglect, improper shipping, damage caused by disasters such as fire, flood, and lightning, improper
electrical current, software problems, interaction with non-Epson products, or service other than by
an Epson Authorized Servicer. If a claimed defect cannot be identified or reproduced, you will be
held responsible for the costs incurred.

THE WARRANTY AND REMEDY PROVIDED ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF
ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME LAWS DO NOT ALLOW THE
EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY, THEN ALL EXPRESS
