a line drawing mode,
making it easier to optimize printing for line drawing
and, through unsurpassed reproduction of line
drawing and
ne
lines in the form of connected lines,
diagonals, and curves, ensuring the best possible
results when the printer is used for drawings.
In addition, you can even safely take your drawings
outdoors with you because they are printed using ink
with excellent water resistance.

Posters and displays that are vivid
and also allow for short-term
outdoor display
Posters with vivid hues can be printed simply by
selecting, for example, Poster (Photo)/Perspective in

Insistence on Ease-of-Use
Space-saving large-format printer
is printer is compact and lightweight compared to
previous large-format Epson printers, so you will have
no trouble nding a location to place it. e model
without a stand can even be placed on a drawing
storage cabinet or the like. See the following for
dimensions.
U
“Specications
Table” on page 171
Automatic switching between auto
sheet feeder (cut sheet) and roll
paper
is printer allows not only roll paper to be loaded but
also multiple sheets of A3 size or smaller sheet to be
loaded in the auto sheet feeder at the same time. When
you select either of these two Source settings of the
printer driver, the paper is switched automatically to
allow you to print easily.
Smooth operation while checking
the operating instructions on the
screen
In addition to having a screen design that enables
intuitive operation, this printer allows you to check
illustrated instructions of operations such as how to
load paper.
U Operator's Guide (booklet or PDF)
Printer driver that is simple and easy
to operate
Print settings can be optimized simply by choosing the
desired use or target. is spares you the trouble of
adjusting print settings individually. When you select a
Source setting, printing failures due to paper loading
mistakes are reduced because the size and type of
paper loaded in the printer are applied automatically.
In addition to checking the set conditions in an
illustration in the printer driver, you can also check a
detailed image in the preview screen before printing.

Support for wireless LAN connection
is printer can be freely placed where desired without
considering cable routing because it can connect with
a computer via a wireless LAN to print. Of course, it
also supports a wired LAN connection.
Furthermore, even if your device is not connected to a
LAN, this printer also allows printing by directly
connecting with it using Wi-Fi Direct. From an iOS
device, you can also print easily using AirPrint.

Notes when using the printer
Note the following points when using this printer to
avoid breakdowns, malfunctions, and print quality
decline.
When using the printer, observe the operating
temperature and humidity range described in the
"Specications Table".
U Specications Table” on page 171
Even when the conditions above are met, you may
not be able to print properly if the environmental
conditions are not suitable for the paper. Be sure
to use the printer in an environment where the
paper's requirements are met. For more details,
see the documentation supplied with the paper.
Also, when operating in dry areas, air conditioned
environment, or under direct sunlight, maintain
the appropriate humidity.
Do not install the printer next to heat sources or
directly in the path of air from a ventilator or air
conditioner. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in the print head nozzles drying and
clogging.
e print head may not be capped (i.e., may not
move to the right-hand side) if an error occurs
and the printer is turned o without rst resolving
the error. Capping is a function for automatically
covering the print head with a cap (lid) to prevent
the print head from drying out. In this case, turn
on the power and wait a while until capping is
performed automatically.
When the power is on, do not remove the power
plug or cut the power at the breaker. e print
head may not be capped properly. In this case,
turn on the power and wait a while until capping
is performed automatically.
Even when printing is not performed, some of
each color of ink will be consumed by ink
cartridge replacement, print head cleaning, and
other maintenance operations needed to keep the
print head in good condition.
e printer may automatically perform print head
cleaning to maintain good printing quality. Please
wait until cleaning nishes without opening any of
the covers or turning o the power.
Notes when not using the
printer
If you are not using it, note the following points when
storing the printer. If it is not stored correctly, you may
not be able to print properly the next time it is used.
When storing the printer, store it at with the ink
cartridges installed. Do not place the printer tilted,
upright, or upside down.
If you do not print for a long time, the print head
nozzles may become clogged. We recommend that
you print once a week to prevent the print head
from clogging.
e
roller may leave an impression on paper that
is le in the printer. is can also cause wavy or
curled paper resulting in paper feeding problems
or the print head could be scratched. Remove any
paper when storing.
Store the printer
aer
conrming
that the print
head has been capped (the print head is
positioned at the far right). If the print head is
le
uncapped for a long time, the print quality may
decline.
Note:
If the print head is not capped, turn the printer on,
and then turn it o.
To prevent the accumulation of dust and other
foreign matter in the printer, close all covers
before placing it in storage.
If the printer will be not be used for an extended
period, protect it with an anti-static cloth or other
cover.
e print head nozzles are very small, and they
can become clogged easily if ne dust gets on the
print head, and you may not be able to print
properly.

Notes on handling ink
cartridges
Note the following points when handling ink
cartridges to maintain good print quality.
e ink cartridges packaged with your printer are
partly used during initial setup. In order to
produce 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.
e Initial Cartridge included together with the
printer are designed for printer setup and not for
resale or later use. Aer some ink is used for
charging, the rest is available for printing. For the
initial setup, make sure to use Initial Cartridge.
We recommend that ink cartridges be stored at
room temperature out of direct sunlight and used
before the expiry date printed on the packaging.
To ensure good results, use all the ink in the
cartridges within 6 months of opening the
packages.
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.
Ink cartridges that have been stored at low
temperatures for an extended period should be
allowed to return to room temperature over a
period of at least three hours.
Be sure to peel
o
the tape (yellow) before
installing an ink cartridge. If you attempt to
forcibly install an ink cartridge without removing
the tape, the printer may become unable to print
properly. Never peel o anything else such as the
lm or label. Ink may leak.
Do not touch the IC chips on the ink cartridges.
You may not be able to print properly.
U “Replacing Ink Cartridges” on page 135
Install the ink cartridges for all the colors. Printing
is not possible if they are not all installed.
Do not leave the printer without ink cartridges
installed. e print head nozzles may dry and
printing may become no longer possible.
e ink level and other data are stored in the IC
chip, allowing cartridges to be used
aer
being
removed and replaced. However, if an ink
cartridge with not much ink remaining is removed
and reinstalled, it may not be usable because some
ink is consumed to ensure the reliability of the
printer.
To avoid getting dust on the ink supply port, store
a removed partially used ink cartridge with the
ink supply port downward or horizontal in the
same environment as this product. e ink supply
port has a valve in it so it does not need to be
capped.
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.
To maintain the quality of the print head, this
printer stops printing before ink cartridges are
completely expended.
Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled
materials, this does not
aect
printer function or
performance.
Do not dismantle or remodel ink cartridges. You
may not be able to print properly.
Do not drop or otherwise subject an ink cartridge
to a strong impact. Ink may leak from the
cartridge.
Even when the printer is not in use, some of each
color of ink will be consumed by ink cartridge
replacement, print head cleaning, and other
maintenance operations needed to keep the print
head in good condition.

A mixture of color inks may be used to print black
depending on the paper type and print quality
settings even for black and white and grayscale
printing.
Notes on handling paper
Note the following points when handling and storing
the paper. If the paper is not in good condition, print
quality may decline.
Check the documentation supplied with each paper.
Notes on Handling
Use Epson special media under normal room
conditions (temperature: 15 to 25°C, humidity: 40
to 60%).
Do not fold the paper or scratch the surface of the
paper.
Avoid touching the printable surface of the paper
with your bare hands. Moisture and oils from your
hands can aect print quality.
Handle paper by the edges. We recommend
wearing cotton gloves.
Changes in temperature and humidity may cause
paper to become wavy or curled. Check the
following points.
Load the paper just before printing.
Do not use wavy or curled paper.
For roll paper, cut o the wavy or curled parts
and then load it again.
For cut sheets, use new paper.
Do not wet the paper.
Do not throw away the paper packaging as you
can use it for storing the paper.
Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight,
excessive heat, or humidity.
Keep cut sheets in their original package
aer
opening, and keep them in a
at
place.
Remove roll paper that is not in use from the
printer. Rewind it correctly and then store it in the
original packaging that came with the roll paper. If
you leave the roll paper in the printer for a long
time, its quality may decline.
Notes on handling printed paper
To maintain long lasting, high quality print results,
note the following points.
Do not rub or scratch print outs. If they are
rubbed or scratched, the ink may peel o.
Do not touch the surface of print outs. e ink
may peel o.
Make sure the print outs are completely dry before
folding of stacking; otherwise, the color may
change where they touch (leaves a mark). ese
marks will disappear if they are separated
immediately and dried; however, they will remain
if not separated.
If you put the print outs in an album before they
are completely dry, they may be blurred.
Do not use a dryer to dry the print outs.
Avoid direct sunlight.
Prevent color distortion while displaying or
storing the print outs by following the instructions
in the paper's documentation.
Note:
Typically, print outs and photos fade over time (color
distortion) due to the eects of light and various
constituents in the air. is also applies to Epson special
media. However, with the correct storage method, the
degree of color distortion can be minimized.
See the documentation supplied with Epson special
media for detailed information on handling the
paper aer printing.
e colors of photos, posters, and other printed
materials appear dierent under dierent lighting
conditions (light sources
*
). e colors of print outs
from this printer may also appear dierent under
dierent light sources.
* Light sources include sunlight, uorescent light,
incandescent light, and other types.

About Color Management
Even when using the same image data, the original
image and the displayed image may look
dierent,
and
the printed results may look dierent to the image you
see on the display.
is
occurs due to the
dierence
in
characteristics when input devices such as scanners
and digital cameras capture colors as electronic data,
and when output devices such as display screens and
printers reproduce colors from the color data. e
color management system is a means to adjust
dierences in color conversion characteristics among
input and output devices. A color management system
is included with operating systems such as Windows
and Mac OS, in addition to image processing
applications. Windows and Mac OS X include the
ICM and ColorSync color management systems,
respectively.
In a color management system, a color denition le
called a "Prole" is used to perform color matching
between devices. (is le is also called an ICC
prole.) e prole of an input device is called an
input prole (or source prole), and the prole of an
output device, such as a printer, is called a printer
prole (or output prole). A prole is prepared for
each media type in this printer's driver.
e color conversion areas by the input device and the
color reproduction area by the output device
dier.
As
a result, there are color areas that do not match even
when performing color matching using a prole. In
addition to specifying
proles,
the color management
system also species conversion conditions for areas
where color matching failed as "intent".
e
name and
type of intent vary depending on the color
management system you are using.
You cannot match the colors on the printed results and
display by color management between the input device
and the printer. To match both colors, you need to
perform color management between the input device
and the display as well.
Color Management Print
Settings
You can perform color management printing using
this printer's printer driver in the following two ways.
Choose the best method according to the application
you are using, the operating system environment, the
aim of the print out, and so on.
Setting color management with the applications
is
method is for printing from applications that
support color management. All color management
processes are carried out by the application's color
management system.
is
method is useful when you
want to obtain the same color management print
results using a common application among dierent

Use paper compatible with 2-sided printing.
Depending on the paper type and data to be
printed, the ink may bleed through to the other
side of the paper.
Performing 2-sided printing continuously may
cause the print quality to decline or a paper jam. If
the print quality declines, reduce the ink density
in the printer driver or print one sheet at a time.
If 2-sided printing is performed continuously, the
inside of the printer may become soiled with ink.
If the paper is soiled from the rollers aer

Replacing Ink Cartridges
If any of the ink colors remaining amount falls below
the minimum amount, printing will not be possible.
If an ink cartridge remaining amount falls below the
minimum amount, you can continue printing aer
replacing the ink cartridge.
If the remaining ink amount drops yet printing is
continued, then replacement of an ink cartridge
during printing may be required. When replacing ink
during a print job, you may see a dierence in color
depending on the drying conditions. When this is not
permissible, we recommend rst replacing the ink
cartridge with a new one before printing. e removed
ink cartridge can be installed again and used until the
remaining amount falls below the minimum amount.
However, if an ink cartridge with not much ink
remaining is removed and reinstalled, it may not be
usable because some ink is consumed to ensure the
reliability of the printer.

Conguration, and increase the ink density.
Conversely, on tracing paper if the ink density is too
high, then either reduce the ink density, or in printer
Paper Type settings, select Tracing Paper
<LowDuty> and print.
o
Are you using a genuine Epson ink
cartridge?
This printer is developed for use with Epson ink
cartridges. If you use non-Epson ink cartridges,
printouts may be faint, or the color of the printed
image may be changed because the remaining ink
level is not correctly detected. Be sure to use the
correct ink cartridge.
o
Are you using an old ink cartridge?
The print quality drops when an old ink cartridge is
used. Replace the old ink cartridge with a new one.
We recommend using all the ink in the cartridge
before the expiry date printed on the package

o
Have you tried changing the print quality
settings?
In the printer driver Printer Settings-Print Quality,

o
Have you compared the printing result with
the image on the display monitor?
Since the monitor and the printer produce colors
dierently, printed colors will not always match

o
Did you open the front cover while printing?
If the front cover is opened while printing, the print
head stops suddenly, causing unevenness in color.
Do not open the front cover while printing.
The color is not exactly the same as
another printer.
o
Colors vary depending on the printer type
due to each printer's characteristics.
Because inks, printer drivers, and printer proles are
developed for each printer model, the colors printed
by dierent printer models are not exactly the same.
You can achieve similar colors with the same color
adjustment method or the same gamma setting by
using the printer driver.
