Do not connect too many power cables to one outlet. Doing so may cause fire.
Disconnect the power plug from the outlet on a periodical basis, and clean the
areas around and between the blades. Leaving the power plug connected to the
outlet for a long period of time may cause dust to accumulate on the blade root,
resulting in a short-circuit or fire.
Hold the plug and do not pull the cable when disconnecting the power plug from
the outlet. Pulling the cable may damage the cable or deform the plug, causing
electric shock or fire.
CAUTION
To ensure safety, unplug this product before leaving it unused for an extended period.

paint thinner, or near fire. Doing so may cause electric shock or fire.
Shut down the product immediately if it produces smoke, a strange odor, or
unusual noise. Continued use may cause electric shock or fire. Immediately
unplug the product when a fault or other problem occurs, and contact your dealer
or a Seiko Epson service center for advice.

Do not use this product in an environment where inflammable gas or explosive
gas may exist. Do not use aerosol sprayers containing flammable gas inside or
around this product. Doing so may cause fire.
Do not connect cables in ways other than those mentioned in this manual. Doing
so may cause fire. It may also damage other devices.
Do not touch the areas inside the product other than those mentioned in this
manual. Doing so may cause electric shock or burns.
Do not insert metal or flammable materials, or allow them to fall into the product.
Doing so may cause electric shock or fire.
CAUTION
Do not allow anyone to stand or place heavy objects on top of this product. Equipment
may fall or collapse, causing breakage and possible injury.
Install the cables and optional products in the proper direction according to the proper
procedures. Failure to install correctly may cause fire or injury. Follow the instructions in
this manual to install them properly.
Before moving the product, shut down and unplug the product, and make sure that all
the cables are disconnected. Failure to do so may damage a cable, causing electric
shock or fire.
Do not store or transport the product in a tilted, standing or upside-down position. Doing
so may cause the ink to leak.
Using in the presence of silicon gas (silicon adhesive, silicon oil, silicon powder, etc.)
including siloxane and of malignant gas (nitric acid, hydrosulfuric, ammonia, chlorine,
etc.) may cause contact failure at contact points in a mechanical switch and a DC motor
etc. in a short time because of adhesion or oxidization of the insulation film.
If the printer is out of use for a prolonged period, it could develop problems due to dust
building up on the external supply paper or entering through it, etc. Therefore, protect
the printer with a cover or similar, or remove the paper and store it in a dust-free place.

6
Cautions on the Ink Cartridge
CAUTION
Do not touch the IC chip on the cartridge. Doing so may cause operating/printing
malfunction.
This product uses ink cartridges equipped with an IC chip that monitors the amount of
ink used by each cartridge. Cartridges are usable even if they are removed and
reinstalled. However, if an ink cartridge in which little amount of ink remains is removed
and reinstalled, it may not be usable. Some ink is consumed each time cartridges are
installed because the product automatically checks their reliability.
Install all ink cartridges. Printing is not possible even if only one ink cartridge is missing.
Since ink cartridges are designed to stop the operation before ink runs out completely to
maintain the quality of the print head, some ink remains in the used ink cartridge.
All the ink colors are consumed also for the maintenance operations when an ink
cartridge is replaced and for print head cleaning.
Do not turn off the product or open the ink cartridge cover while charging ink ( (Power)
LED is flashing). Opening the cover may cause the ink to be recharged, resulting in more
ink being consumed. Also, it may cause printing malfunction.
Even for monochrome printing (printing of monochrome image), all the ink colors are
used in an operation designed to maintain the printing and print head quality.
Do not disassemble the ink cartridge. Doing so may cause ink to adhere eyes and skin.
Do not disassemble and remodel the ink cartridge. Doing so may cause printing
malfunction.
Use of an old ink cartridge may result in reduced print quality. Use it up within six months
after opening the package. The usage period for ink cartridges is printed on the
packaging of individual ink cartridges.
If ink contacts your skin, eyes, or mouth, take the following actions.
When it gets onto your skin, immediately wash the area with soap and water.
When ink gets into your eyes, immediately flush them with water. Leaving the ink as is
may result in bloodshot eyes or mild inflammation. If something is wrong, immediately
consult with a doctor.
When ink gets into your mouth, immediately spit it and consult with a doctor.
There may be some ink around the ink supply port on the removed ink cartridge. Take
care so that it does not stain the desk or other surface.
Do not remove the ink cartridge, except when you replace it.
Do not open the ink cartridge package until you are ready to install it in the product.
Do not shake the ink cartridge too hard. The ink cartridge may leak if you shake it around
too much or push the sides strongly.
Do not allow foreign objects to fall into the cartridge installation section. Doing so may
cause printing malfunction. Remove any object that might have fallen into the installation
section, taking care not to damage the section.
When ink is charged for the first time (right after purchase), ink is consumed for filling the
print head nozzle (ink discharge holes) to get ready for printing. That is why the number
of the printable sheets may be fewer than for the cartridges to be installed later.
If you turn the power off the product using the power button, the print head is
automatically capped, which prevents the ink from drying. After installing the ink
cartridges, be sure to turn the power off using the power button when you are not using
the product. Do not pull out the power plug or trip the breaker while the power is on.
Printing on water-repellent paper such as art paper, which is slow-drying, may cause
print stains. Also, printing on glossy paper may cause finger prints on the paper or ink
may adhere to your fingers when you touch it. Select paper not to case print stains
before use.

Nozzle Verification Technology
This producthas an"Nozzle VerificationTechnology” thatdetects missing dots. Youcanselectthe
“Nozzle VerificationTechnology Enable / Disable”, “Nozzle check interval” and/or “Threshold of
clogged nozzles”, depending onlevel of requirement for missing dots.
And whenunrecoverable clogging occurs, this printer is able to carry out supplemental printing
using a nearby nozzle.
If youset“Enable” for the nozzle clogauto supplement system, it will be possible to remedy a
marked fall in print quality and barcode quality due to anirrecoverably clogged nozzle.
Setting the Nozzle Verification Technology
If youset“Enable” for the Nozzle VerificationTechnology, missing dotdetection, for detecting
nozzle dropout, will be executed atthe “Nozzle check interval” thatyouhave set, thatis, each time
the setprint length is reached.
If the number of nozzle dropouts thatis detected exceeds the “Threshold of clogged nozzles” that
youhave set, auto head cleaning will be executed to eliminate dotdropout.
Perform a nozzle check evenafter auto cleaning, and if the number of dropouts does notfall below
the set“Threshold of clogged nozzles“, perform auto cleaning again.
CAUTION
This “Auto nozzle check” system cannot detect 100% of dot missing cases. It cannot detect
100% of missing dots and ink droplet curvature.
Print head maintenance is executed for all heads simultaneously. It is not executed only for
the heads and ink in which nozzle clogging was detected.
The auto nozzle check uses a small amount of ink.
After detecting a missing dot, cleaning is performed automatically and ink is also used in the
cleaning.
