Loading a CD/DVD

Printable CD/DVDs

You can print on a circular 12-cm CD/DVD labelled as suitable for printing, for example "printable on the label surface" or "printable with ink jet printers."
You can also print on Blu-ray Discs™.

CD/DVD Handling Precautions

See the documentation provided with your CD/DVD for more information on handling the CD/DVD or
writing data.
Do not print on the CD/DVD before writing your data to it. If you do, ngerprints, dirt, or scratches on the
surface may cause errors while writing data.
Depending on the CD/DVD type or printing data, smearing may occur. Try making a test print on a spare CD/
DVD. Check the printed surface aer waiting for one full day.
42
Page 43
Loading Papers and CD/DVDs
Compared to printing on genuine Epson paper, the print density is lowered to prevent ink from smearing on the
CD/DVD. Adjust the print density as necessary.
Allow the printed CD/DVDs at least 24 hours to dry avoiding direct sunlight. Do not stack or insert the CD/
DVDs into your device until they are completely dry.
If the printed surface is sticky even aer it has dried, lower the print density.
Reprinting on the same CD/DVD may not improve the print quality.
If the CD/DVD tray or the internal transparent compartment are accidentally printed on, immediately wipe o
the ink.
Depending on the print area setting, the CD/DVD or CD/DVD tray may get dirty. Make settings to print on the
printable area.
You can set the print range for the CD/DVD to a minimum of 18 mm for the inner diameter, and a maximum
of 120 mm for the outer diameter. Depending on the settings, the CD/DVD or tray may be smeared. Set within the print range for the CD/DVD you want to print.

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.

Scanning to a Memory Device
You can save scanned images directly to a memory device inserted into the printer.
Scanning to a Computer
ere are two methods of scanning originals to a computer; scanning using the printer’s control panel, and scanning from the computer.
You can scan easily from the control panel.
Use the scanning application Epson ScanSmart to scan from the computer. You can edit images aer scanning.

Basic Information on Scanning>Recommended File Formats to Suit Your Purpose
Sending to a Cloud Service
You can send scanned images from the printer's control panel to cloud services that have been registered in advance.
Scanning Using WSD
You can save the scanned image to a computer connected to the printer, using WSD feature.
If you are using the Windows 7/Windows Vista, you need to make WSD settings on your computer before scanning.
Scanning Directly from Smart Devices
You can save scanned images directly to a smart device such as a smart phone or tablet by using the Epson Smart Panel application on the smart device.

Recommended File Formats to Suit Your Purpose

Generally speaking, the JPEG format is suitable for photos while the PDF format is suitable for documents.
See the following descriptions to choose the best format for what you want to do.
File Format Description
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.

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 size becomes large
(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.
