Printer Advisories and Warnings

Read and follow these instructions to avoid damaging the printer or your property. Make sure you keep this manual for future reference.

Advisories and Warnings for Setting Up the Printer

Do not block or cover the vents and openings in the printer.
Use only the type of power source indicated on the printer's label.
Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and o.
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.
e 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 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.

Basic Information on Scanning

What is a "Scan"?

A "scan" is the process of converting the optical information of paper data (such as documents, magazine clippings, photos, handwritten illustrations, and so on) into digital image data.
You can save scanned data as a digital image such as a JPEG or PDF.
You can then print the image, send it by email, and so on.

Scanning Uses

You can use scanning in a variety of ways to make your life more convenient.
By scanning a paper document and turning it into digital data, you can read it on a computer or a smart device.
By scanning tickets or yers into digital data, you can dispose of the originals and reduce clutter.
By scanning important documents, you can back them up to cloud services or another storage medium, just in
case they get lost.
You can send the scanned photos or documents to friends by email.
By scanning hand-drawn illustrations and so on, you can share them on social media at a much higher quality
than by just taking a photo on your smart device.
By scanning your favorite pages from newspapers or magazines, you can save them and dispose of the originals.

Available Scanning Methods

You can use any of the following methods to scan using this printer.

JPEG (.jpg) A le format that allows you to compress the data to be saved. If the compression ratio
is high, the image quality declines, and you cannot convert the image back to the original quality.
This is the standard image format for digital cameras. This format is suitable for images that have many colors.
PDF (.pdf) A general le format that can be used across dierent operating systems and provides
the same level of screen display and print result.
You can view PDF les using dedicated PDF reading software or in Web browsers.

Recommended Resolutions to Suit Your Purpose

Resolution indicates the number of pixels (smallest area of an image) for each inch (25.4 mm), and is measured in dpi (dots per inch). e advantage of increasing the resolution is that the details in the image become ne. However, it can also have the following disadvantages.
e le
(When you double the resolution, the le size becomes about four times larger.)
Scanning, saving, and reading the image takes a long time
e image becomes too large to t the display or print on the paper
See the table and set the appropriate resolution for the purpose of your scanned image.

Preventing nozzle clogging

Always use the power button when turning the printer on and o.
Check that the power light is o before you disconnect the power cord.
e ink itself can dry out if it is not covered. Just like placing a cap on a fountain pen or an oil pen to prevent it from drying, make sure the print head is capped properly to prevent the ink from drying.
When the power cord is unplugged or a power outage occurs while the printer is in operation, the print head may not be capped properly. If the print head is le as it is, it will dry out causing nozzles (ink outlets) to clog.
In these cases, turn the printer on and o again as soon as possible to cap the print head.

Turn o the wireless router. Wait for about 10 seconds, and then turn it on.
Place the printer closer to your wireless router and remove any obstacles between them.
If you have entered the SSID manually, check if it is correct. Check the SSID from the Network Status part on
the network connection report.
If an wireless router has multiple SSIDs, select the SSID that is displayed. When the SSID is using a non-
compliant frequency, the printer does not display them.
If you are using push button setup to establish a network connection, make sure your wireless router supports
WPS. You cannot use push button setup if your wireless router does not support WPS.
Makes sure your SSID uses only ASCII characters (alphanumeric characters and symbols). e printer cannot
display an SSID that contains non-ASCII characters.

Makes sure you know your SSID and password before connecting to the wireless router. If you are using a
wireless router with its default settings, the SSID and password are located on a label on the wireless router. If you do not know your SSID and password, contact the person who set up the wireless router, or see the documentation provided with the wireless router.
If you are connecting to an SSID generated from a tethering smart device, check for the SSID and password in
the documentation provided with the smart device.
If your Wi-Fi connection suddenly disconnects, check for the conditions below. If any of these conditions are
applicable, reset your network settings by downloading and running the soware from the following website.

Connecting a Smart Device and Printer Directly (Wi-Fi Direct)

Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) allows you to connect a smart device directly to the printer without a wireless router and print from the smart device.

About Wi-Fi Direct

Use this connection method when you are not using Wi-Fi at home or at the oce, or when you want to connect the printer and the computer or smart device directly. In this mode, the printer acts as an wireless router and you can connect the devices to the printer without having to use a standard wireless router. However, devices directly connected to the printer cannot communicate with each other through the printer.
printer can be connected by Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) connection simultaneously. However, if you
e start a network connection in Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) connection when the printer is connected by Wi-Fi, the Wi-Fi is temporarily disconnected.

Connecting to Devices using Wi-Fi Direct

method allows you to connect the printer directly to smart devices without a wireless router.

Note:
For iOS or Android users, it is convenient to set up from Epson Smart Panel.
You only need to make these settings for the printer and the smart device that you want to connect to once. Unless you disable Wi-Fi Direct or restore the network settings to their defaults, you do not need to make these settings again.

To Set Up a Printer on Multiple Computers

Although several computers can be connected to the same wireless router, each computer may be assigned a dierent SSID.
If the SSIDs assigned by the wireless router are not handled as the same network, then each computer is connected to a dierent network. When you start setting up the printer from computer A, the printer is added to the same network as computer A allowing computer A to print from it.

Furthermore, if you start setting up the printer from computer B in the conguration shown above, the printer is set up on computer B's network allowing computer B to print but not computer A.
To prevent this from happening, when you want to set up a networked printer from a second computer, start the installer on the computer connected to the same network as the printer. If the printer is found on the same network, the printer will not be recongured for the network, and it will set up the printer ready for use.
