Paper Handling Precautions

❏ Read the instruction sheets supplied with the paper.
❏ Fan and align the edges of the paper before loading. Do not fan or curl photo paper. Doing so may damage the
printable side.

❏ If the paper is curled, flatten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on curled
paper may cause paper jams and smears on the printout.

❏ Do not use paper that is wavy, torn, cut, folded, damp, too thick, too thin, or paper that has stickers stuck to it.
Using these types of paper causes paper jams and smears on the printout.
❏ Fan and align the edges of the envelopes before loading. When the stacked envelopes are puffed up with air,
press them down to flatten them before loading.

❏ Do not use envelopes that are curled or folded. Using these envelopes causes paper jams and smears on the
printout.
❏ Do not use envelopes with adhesive surfaces on the flaps or window envelopes.
❏ Avoid using envelopes that are too thin, as they may curl during printing.

Loading a CD/DVD for Printing

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, fingerprints, 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 after waiting for one full day.
❏ 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 after 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 off
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.

Refilling Ink and Replacing Maintenance Boxes

Ink Bottle Handling Precautions

Read the following instructions before refilling ink.

Handling precautions
❏ Use ink bottles with the correct part code for this printer.
❏ This printer requires careful handling of ink. Ink may splatter when the ink tanks are filled or refilled with ink.
If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.
❏ Do not shake too vigorously or squeeze the ink bottles.
❏ Once you open an ink bottle, we recommend using it as soon as possible.
❏ Store ink bottles at normal room temperature and keep them away from direct sunlight.
❏ Epson recommends using the ink bottle before the date printed on the package.
❏ Store the ink bottles in the same environment as the printer.
❏ When storing or transporting an ink bottle, do not tilt the bottle and do not subject it to impacts or temperature
changes. Otherwise, ink may leak even if the cap on the ink bottle is tightened securely. Be sure to keep the ink
bottle upright when tightening the cap, and take precautions to prevent ink from leaking when transporting the
bottle, for example, putting the bottle in a bag.
❏ After bringing an ink bottle 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 bottle package until you are ready to fill the ink tank. The ink bottle is vacuum packed to
maintain its reliability. If you leave an ink bottle unpacked for a long time before using it, normal printing may
not be possible.
❏ Prolonged use of the printer when the ink level is below the lower line could damage the printer. Fill the ink
tank to the upper line while the printer is not operating. To display the correct ink level estimates, reset the ink
level after filling the tank.
❏ To ensure you receive premium print quality and to help protect your print head, a variable ink safety reserve
remains in the ink tank when your printer indicates to refill ink. The yields quoted for you do not include this
reserve.
❏ Although the ink bottles may contain recycled materials, this does not affect printer function or performance.
❏ Specifications and appearance of the ink bottle are subject to change without prior notice for improvement.
❏ 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 ink tanks not only during
printing but also during maintenance operation such as 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 bottles 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 bottles may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink bottles.

4. While holding the ink bottle upright, turn the cap slowly to remove it.

c Important:
❏ Be careful not to spill any ink.
❏ Do not touch the top of the ink bottle after removing the cap; otherwise you may be smeared with ink.

5. Position the top of the ink bottle along the slot in front of the filling port, and then stand the bottle slowly to
insert it into the filling port.

c Important:
Do not allow the top of the ink bottle to hit against any objects after removing its cap; otherwise ink may spill.

6. Insert the top of the ink bottle securely into the filling port of the tank to refill the tank with ink.
Ink pours into the tank just by holding the bottle normally without squeezing. The ink flow stops
automatically when the ink is filled to the upper line.

Note:
If the ink does not start flowing into the tank, remove the ink bottle and try reinserting it.

7. When you have finished refilling the ink, remove the ink bottle, and then close the cap of the ink tank securely.

c Important:

The following is the code for the genuine Epson maintenance box.
T04D0

Maintenance Box Handling Precautions

Read the following instructions before replacing the maintenance box.
❏ Do not touch the green chip on the side of the maintenance box. Doing so may prevent normal operation and
printing.

123
User's Guide

Refilling Ink and Replacing Maintenance Boxes

❏ Do not replace the maintenance box during printing; otherwise, ink may leak.
❏ Do not remove the maintenance box and its cover except when replacing the maintenance box; otherwise ink
may leak.
❏ Do not reuse a maintenance box which has been removed and left detached for a long period. Ink inside the box
will have solidified and no more ink can be absorbed.
❏ Keep the maintenance box out of direct sunlight.
❏ Do not store the maintenance box in high or freezing temperatures.
❏ Once a maintenance box has been installed in a printer it cannot be used with other printers.

Replacing a Maintenance Box

In some print cycles a very small amount of surplus ink may be collected in the maintenance box. To prevent ink
leakage from the maintenance box, the printer is designed to stop printing when the absorbing capacity of the
maintenance box has reached its limit. Whether and how often 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.
Replace the maintenance box when you are promoted to do so. The Epson Status Monitor, your LCD, or lights on
the control panel will advise you when this part needs replacing. The need for replacement of the box does not
mean that your printer has ceased to operate in accordance with its specifications. The Epson warranty does not
cover the cost of this replacement. It is a user-serviceable part.

1. Remove the new maintenance box from its package.

c Important:
Do not touch the green chip on the side of the maintenance box. Doing so may prevent normal operation and
printing.

Note:
A transparent bag for the used maintenance box is provided with the new maintenance box.

Checking and Cleaning the Print Head

If the nozzles are clogged, the printouts become faint, there is visible banding, or unexpected colors appear. When
print quality has declined, use the nozzle check feature and check if the nozzles are clogged. If the nozzles are
clogged, clean the print head.

c Important:
❏ Do not open the scanner unit or turn off the printer during head cleaning. If the head cleaning is incomplete, you
may not be able to print.
❏ 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. Prepare a new ink bottle.
❏ If print quality has not improved after repeating nozzle check and head cleaning three times, wait for at least 12
hours without printing, and then run the nozzle check again and repeat the head cleaning if necessary. We
recommend to turn off the printer. If print quality has still not improved, run Power Cleaning. If it has still not
improved, contact Epson support.
❏ To prevent the print head from drying out, do not unplug the printer while the power is on.

Running Power Cleaning

The Power Cleaning utility allows you to replace all of the ink inside the ink tubes. In the following situations, you
may need to use this feature to improve the print quality.
❏ You printed or performed head cleaning when the ink levels were too low to be seen in the ink tank windows.

128
User's Guide

Maintaining the Printer

❏ You performed the nozzle check and head cleaning several times and then waited for at least 12 hours without
printing, but print quality still did not improve.

Before running this feature, read the following instructions.

c Important:
Make sure that there is enough ink in the ink tanks.
Visually check all ink tanks are at least a third full. Low ink levels during Power Cleaning could damage the product.

c Important:
An interval of 12 hours is required between each Power Cleaning.
Normally, a single Power Cleaning should resolve the print quality issue within 12 hours. Therefore, to avoid
unnecessary ink usage, you must wait 12 hours before you try it again.

c Important:
Maintenance box replacement may be required.
Ink will be deposited to the maintenance box. If it becomes full, you must prepare and install a replacement
maintenance box to continue printing.

Note:
When the ink levels or the free space in the maintenance box are insufficient for Power Cleaning, you cannot run this
feature. Even in this case, the levels and the free space for printing may remain.
