Safety Instructions

Important Safety Instructions

Read all of the instructions in this section before using the product. Also, be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.

Setting up the product

Observe the following when setting up the product:

❏ Do not block or cover the vents and openings in 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 result in fire or electric shock.

❏ The product’s power cord is for use with the product only. Use with other equipment may result in fire or electric

shock.

❏ Be sure your AC power cord meets the relevant local safety standard.

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

❏ 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.

❏ The 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 product, 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.

❏ Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the power cord, printer unit, scanner unit, or options by yourself,

except as specifically explained in the product’s guides.

❏ Unplug the product and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the product; the product has been dropped or the casing damaged; the product does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Do not adjust controls that are not covered by the operating instructions.

❏ If you plan to use the product 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 product.

❏ 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.

WP-4511/4515/4521/4525/4530/4531/4535/4540/4545/4590/4595 User’s Guide

Safety 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.

Choosing a place for the product

Observe the following when choosing a place for the product:

❏ Place the product on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base of the product in all directions. If you place

the product by the wall, leave more than 10 cm between the back of the product and the wall. The product will not operate properly if it is tilted at an angle.

❏ When storing or transporting the product, avoid tilting it, placing it vertically, or turning it upside down;

otherwise ink may leak.

❏ Allow spaces behind the product for the cables, and space above the product so that you can fully raise the

document cover.

❏ Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Also, keep the product away from direct

sunlight, strong light, or heat sources.

❏ Do not place or store the product outdoors, near excessive dirt or dust, water, heat sources, or in locations subject

to shocks, vibrations, high temperature or humidity. Do not use with wet hands.

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

Using the product

Observe the following when using the product:

❏ Do not insert objects through the slots in the product.

❏ Take care not to spill liquid on the product.

❏ Do not put your hand inside the product or touch the ink cartridges during printing.

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

❏ Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the product. Doing so may cause

fire.

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

❏ Always turn the product off using the P On button. Do not unplug the product or turn off the power at the outlet

until the LCD panel has turned off completely.

❏ Before transporting the product, make sure that the print head is in the home (far right) position and the ink

cartridges are in place.

❏ Leave the ink cartridges installed. Removing the cartridges can dry out the print head and may prevent the printer

from printing.

❏ Be careful not to trap your fingers when closing the scanner unit.

WP-4511/4515/4521/4525/4530/4531/4535/4540/4545/4590/4595 User’s Guide

Safety Instructions

❏ If you are not going to use the product for a long period, be sure to unplug the power cord from the electrical

outlet.

❏ Do not press too hard on the document table when placing the originals.

Using the product with a wireless connection

❏ Do not use this product inside medical facilities or near medical equipment. Radio waves from this product may

adversely affect the operation of electrical medical equipment.

❏ Keep this product at least 22 cm away from cardiac pacemakers. Radio waves from this product may adversely

affect the operation of cardiac pacemakers.

❏ Do not use this product near automatically controlled devices such as automatic doors or fire alarms. Radio waves

from this product may adversely affect these devices, and could lead to accidents due to malfunction.

Handling ink cartridges

Observe the following when handling the ink cartridges:

❏ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink.

❏ If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with

water.

❏ Before installing the new ink cartridge in the printer, shake it back and forth horizontally in five centimeter

movements about 15 times within five seconds.

❏ Use the ink cartridge before the date printed on its package.

❏ Use up the ink cartridge within six months of installation for best results.

❏ Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them. This could damage the print head.

❏ Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. This may affect normal operation and printing.

❏ The IC chip on this ink cartridge retains a variety of cartridge-related information, such as the ink cartridge status,

so that the cartridge may be removed and reinserted freely.

❏ 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 this 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 supply port or surrounding area.

Using the LCD screen

❏ The LCD screen may contain a few small bright or dark spots, and because of its features it may have an uneven

brightness. These are normal and do not indicate that it is damaged in any way.

❏ Only use a dry, soft cloth to clean the LCD screen. Do not use liquid or chemical cleansers.

WP-4511/4515/4521/4525/4530/4531/4535/4540/4545/4590/4595 User’s Guide

Safety Instructions

❏ If the LCD screen is damaged, contact your dealer. If the liquid crystal solution gets on your hands, wash them

thoroughly with soap and water. If the liquid crystal solution gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.

Precautions on the touch panel

Press the touch panel with the tip of your finger. Do not press too hard or tap it with your nails.

Do not operate using sharp or pointed objects such as ball point pens, sharp pencils, and so on.

The cover of the touch panel is made of glass and could break if it receives a heavy impact. Contact Epson support if the glass chips or cracks, and do not touch or attempt to remove the broken glass.

Restrictions on Copying

Observe the following restrictions in order to ensure the responsible and legal use of the product.

Copying of the following items is prohibited by law:

❏ Bank bills, coins, government-issued marketable securities, government bond securities, and municipal securities

❏ Unused postage stamps, pre-stamped postcards, and other official postal items bearing valid postage

Paper 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 printers, and recommends these papers to ensure high-quality results.

For more details on Epson special media, see “Ink and Paper” on page 192.

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.

Selecting which tray to use and its loading capacities

Refer to the following table to select the paper cassette tray and its loading capacities according to the type and size of the media you are using.
