electric shock.
❏ Be sure your AC power cord meets the relevant local safety standard.
❏ Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the power cord, plug, printer unit, scanner unit, or options by
yourself, except as specifically explained in the printer's manuals.
❏ Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the printer; the printer has been dropped or the casing
damaged; the printer does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Do not adjust
controls that are not covered by the operating instructions.
❏ Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.
❏ Do not place or store the printer outdoors, near excessive dirt or dust, water, heat sources, or in locations
subject to shocks, vibrations, high temperature or humidity.
❏ Take care not to spill liquid on the printer and not to handle the printer with wet hands.
❏ Keep the printer at least 22 cm away from cardiac pacemakers. Radio waves from this printer may adversely
affect the operation of cardiac pacemakers.
❏ 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.
❏ Avoid using a telephone during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
❏ Do not use a telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
❏ Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges, as there may be some ink around the ink supply port.

Note:
Not all cartridges are available in all regions.
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.
❏ 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.
❏ Do not open the ink cartridge package until you are ready to install it in the printer. The 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.
78
User's Guide
❏ 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.
79
User's Guide
❏ 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.
❏ This printer uses ink cartridges equipped with a green chip that monitors information such as the amount of
remaining ink for each cartridge. This means that even if the cartridge is removed from the printer before it is
expended, you can still use the cartridge after reinserting it back into the printer. However, when reinserting a
cartridge, some ink may be consumed to guarantee printer performance.
❏ For maximum ink efficiency, 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. The yields quoted for you do not
include this reserve.
❏ Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled materials, this does not affect printer function or
performance.
❏ Specifications 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. This is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.
❏ The ink in the ink cartridges supplied with your printer is partly used during initial setup. In order to produce
high quality printouts, the print head in your printer will be fully charged with ink. This one-off process
consumes a quantity of ink and therefore these cartridges may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink
cartridges.
! Caution:
Be careful not to trap your hand or fingers when opening or closing the scanner unit. Otherwise you may be injured.
Note:
If you replace the ink cartridges while coping, the originals may move out of place. Press the y button to cancel and replace
the originals.

Do not open the scanner unit or turn off the printer during head cleaning. If the head cleaning is incomplete, you

Note:
❏ Because print head cleaning uses some ink, clean the print head only if quality declines.
❏ When ink is low you may not be able to clean the print head. Replace the appropriate ink cartridge first.
❏ If print quality has not improved after repeating nozzle check and head cleaning about four times, wait for at least six
hours without printing, and then run the nozzle check again and repeat the head cleaning if necessary. If the printer
operates printing while waiting, extend the waiting time. We recommend to turn off the printer. If print quality has still
not improved, contact Epson support.
❏ To prevent the print head from drying out, always turn the printer off by pressing the P button.
❏ To keep the print head operating at its best, we recommend printing a few pages on a regular basis.

that the printer performs. The need for replacement of the pad does not mean that your printer has ceased to operate in

Print Quality Is Poor
Check the following if the print quality is poor due to blurry prints, banding, missing colors, faded colors,
misalignment, and mosaic-like patterns in the prints.
❏ Use paper supported by this printer.
❏ Do not print on paper that is damp, damaged, or too old.
❏ If the paper is curled or the envelope is puffed up, flatten it.
❏ When printing images or photos, print using high-resolution data. Images on websites are often low resolution
although they look good enough on the display, and so print quality may decline.
❏ Select the appropriate paper type setting on the control panel or in the printer driver for the type of paper
loaded in the printer.
❏ Print using a high quality setting on the control panel or in the printer driver.
❏ If you have selected Standard-Vivid as the quality setting on the Windows printer driver, change to Standard. If
