Use only the type of power source indicated on the product’s label.
Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.
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.
The 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 product, 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.
If you plan to use the product in Germany, the building installation must be protected by a 10 or 16 amp circuit
breaker to provide adequate short-circuit protection and over-current protection for the product.

If you are not going to use the product for a long period, be sure to unplug the power cord from the electrical
outlet.
Do not press too hard on the scanner glass when placing the originals.
During the life of your product it may be necessary to replace the waste ink pad when it has become full. 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 product performs. 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 pad does not
mean that your product has ceased to operate in accordance with its specifications. The replacement of this part is
a routine product servicing activity within the product’s specification and is not a problem which requires repair.
The Epson warranty does not therefore cover the cost of this replacement. If your product needs the pad replacing
this can be performed for you by any authorised Epson service provider. It is not a user-serviceable part.

Paper and Media Handling
Introduction to Using, Loading, and Storing Media
You can achieve good results with most types of plain paper. However, coated papers provide superior prints because
they absorb less ink.
Epson provides special papers that are formulated for the ink used in Epson ink jet products, and recommends these
papers to ensure high-quality results.
When loading special paper distributed by Epson, read the instruction sheets packed with the paper first and keep the
following points in mind.
Note:
Load the paper into the paper cassette printable side down. The printable side is usually whiter or glossier. See the
instruction sheets packed with the paper for more information. Some types of paper have cut corners to help identify the
correct loading direction.
If the paper is curled, flatten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on curled paper may
cause ink to smear on your prints.
Storing paper
Return unused paper to the original package as soon as you finish printing. When handling special media, Epson
recommends storing your prints in a resealable plastic bag. Keep unused paper and prints away from high
temperature, humidity, and direct sunlight.
Selecting Paper
The table below lists supported papers. Loading capacity and borderless print availability varies by paper as shown.

Store the CD/DVD tray in the bottom slot of the product. A warped or damaged CD/DVD tray may stop the
product from operating normally.
If the tray is ejected or not fed correctly when you start a CD/DVD print job, make sure that you inserted the tray
properly.
& “Loading a CD/DVD” on page 33
If the tray is ejected when you start a CD/DVD print job, the product is not ready. Wait until you see a message on
your computer screen asking you to insert the tray. Then reinsert the tray and press x.
After you finish printing on a CD/DVD, remove the CD/DVD tray and press OK on the LCD screen.
Use only CD/DVD labelled as suitable for printing, for example “Printable on the label surface” or “Printable with
ink jet printers”.
Depending on the CD/DVD type, smearing may occur depending on the level of color saturation.
Moisture on the printable surface may cause smearing.
If the CD/DVD tray or the internal transparent compartment are accidentally printed on, immediately wipe off
the ink.
Reprinting on the same CD/DVD may not improve the print quality.
If you select CD/DVD Premium Surface as the Media Type setting in the printer driver and use a high quality
CD/DVD, you can create high quality CD/DVD labels.
Make sure you let CDs and DVDs dry completely out of direct sunlight before using them or touching the printed
surface.
If the printed surface is sticky even after it has dried, the color saturation level may be too high. In that case, lower
the level of the color saturation in Epson Print CD.
If the ink smears, adjust the color saturation using Epson Print CD.
Set the printable area to fit the printable area of the CD/DVD.
For details on the printable area, see the following section.
& “Printable area” on page 155
Only one CD or DVD can be printed at a time. When the Copies setting is set to 2 or more, remove each CD or

Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions, Precautions, and
Specifications
Safety instructions
Observe the following when handling the ink cartridges:
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.
Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges, as there may be some ink around the ink supply port.
If ink gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water.
If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems continue after a
thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.
If ink gets into your mouth, spit it out immediately and see a doctor right away.
If you remove the cartridge from the product for later use or to dispose of it, make sure you put the cap back on the
cartridge’s ink supply port to prevent ink from drying out or to prevent surrounding areas from getting smeared
by ink.
Do not push hard or squeeze the ink cartridges, or be careful not to drop them. Doing so may cause ink leakage.
Do not disassemble or remodel the ink cartridge, otherwise you may not be able to print normally.
Do not touch the sections shown in the illustration. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing.
Do not leave the product with the ink cartridges removed or do not turn off the product during cartridge
replacement. Otherwise, ink remaining in the print head nozzles will dry out and you may not be able to print.
Precautions on ink cartridge replacement
Read all of the instructions in this section before replacing the ink cartridges.
Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson ink cartridges. Epson cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of
non-genuine ink. The use of non-genuine ink may cause damage that is not covered by Epson’s warranties, and
under certain circumstances, may cause erratic product behavior. Information about non-genuine ink levels may
not be displayed.
User’s Guide
Replacing Ink Cartridges

Do not shake ink cartridges too vigorously; otherwise ink may leak from the cartridge.
This product uses ink cartridges equipped with an IC 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 product before it is
expended, you can still use the cartridge after reinserting it back into the product. However, when reinserting a
cartridge, some ink may be consumed to guarantee product performance.
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.
Be careful not to let dust or any objects get inside the ink cartridge holder. Anything inside the holder may
adversely affect the printing results or result in an inability to print.
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.
Do not open the ink cartridge package until you are ready to install it in the product. 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.
Install all ink cartridges; otherwise, you cannot print.
When color ink is expended and black ink still remains, you can continue printing temporarily with black ink
only. For more information refer to “Temporary Printing with Black Ink When Color Ink Cartridges are
Expended” on page 104.
If an ink cartridge is running low, prepare a new ink cartridge.
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.
Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place.
You cannot use the cartridges that came with your product for the replacement.
Ink Cartridge Specifications
Epson recommends using the ink cartridge before the date printed on the package.
The ink cartridges packaged with your product are partly used during initial setup. In order to produce high
quality printouts, the print head in your product 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.
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.
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 product 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 product function or performance.
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.

Cleaning the Print Head
If you find that the printout is unexpectedly faint or that dots are missing, you may be able to solve these problems by
cleaning the print head, which ensures that the nozzles are delivering ink properly.
You can clean the print head from your computer using the Head Cleaning utility in the printer driver or from the

Important:
Do not open the scanner unit or turn off the product. during head cleaning. If the head cleaning is incomplete, you
may not be able to print.
Do not insert the CD/DVD tray until head cleaning is complete.
Note:
Use the Nozzle Check utility first to confirm that the print head needs to be cleaned. This saves ink.
To maintain print quality, we recommend printing a few pages on a regular basis.
Because print head cleaning uses some ink from all cartridges, clean the print head only if quality declines; for example,
if the printout is blurry or the color is incorrect or missing.
When ink is low you may not be able to clean the print head. When ink is expended you cannot clean the print head.
Replace the appropriate ink cartridge first.
Note:
If print quality has not improved after repeating this procedure about two times, turn the product off and wait for at least six
hours. Then run the nozzle check again and repeat the head cleaning if necessary. If print quality has still not improved,
contact Epson support.
