❏ 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.

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 opening the package.

❏ For best results, store ink cartridge packages with their bottom down.

❏ 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 open the ink cartridge package until you are ready to install it in the printer. e 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.

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

User's Guide

Replacing Ink Cartridges

❏ 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. 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 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 replace ink cartridges with the power o. Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may

damage the printer.

❏ Aer installing the ink cartridge, the power light continues to ash while the printer is charging ink. Do not

User's Guide

Replacing Ink Cartridges

❏ Do not leave the printer with the ink cartridges removed or do not turn o the printer during cartridge

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

❏ 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, with the ink supply port facing down or sideways. Do not store ink cartridges with the ink supply port facing up. 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. expended, you can still use the cartridge aer reinserting it back into the printer. However, when reinserting a cartridge, some ink may be consumed to guarantee printer performance.

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

low ink status may not be used when reinserted.

❏ 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.

performance.

❏ Specications and appearance of the ink cartridge are subject to change without prior notice for improvement.

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

❏ 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.

Ink consumption

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

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

❏

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

e 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.

* In some print cycles a very small amount of surplus ink may be collected in the ink pad. To prevent ink leakage from the pad, the printer is designed to stop printing when the pad has reached its limit. Whether and how oen this is required will vary according to the number of pages you print, the type of material that you print and the number of cleaning cycles that the printer performs. e need for replacement of the pad does not mean that your printer has ceased to operate in accordance with its specications. e printer will advise you when the pad requires replacing and this can only be performed by an authorised Epson Service provider. e Epson warranty does not cover the cost of this replacement.

❏ Try to use genuine Epson ink cartridges. is product is designed to adjust colors based on the use of genuine

Epson ink cartridges. e use of non-genuine ink cartridges may cause print quality to decline.

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

❏ For best results, use up ink cartridge within six months of opening the package.

❏ When printing images or photos, print using high-resolution data. Images on websites are oen low resolution

although they look good enough on the display, and so print quality may decline.
