Terms and Conditions
Limited Warranty for Commercial Products
What Is Covered: Epson America, Inc. (“Epson”) warrants to the first end-user customer
that the EPSON Stylus Pro 4000 ink jet printer covered by this limited warranty statement, if
purchased and used in the United Sates or Canada, will conform to the manufacturer’s
specifications and will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of
one year from the date of original purchase (proof of purchase required). Epson also
warrants that the consumable ink cartridges enclosed with the engine will perform to the
manufacturer’s specified usage, which usage may expire before the expiration of the limited
warranty for the Epson printer.
What Epson Will Do To Correct Problems: Should your EPSON Stylus Pro 4000 printer
prove defective during the limited warranty period, please call the toll-free Epson Preferred
support line identified in this booklet. This line will be answered during Epson’s regular
support hours (currently 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM Pacific Time, Monday through Friday). When
you call, please be prepared to provide the service technician with Proof of Purchase
information including the unit serial number and original date of purchase. The service
technician will provide telephone diagnostics to determine whether your unit needs repair.
If service is required, the technician will advise you which service program will be utilized
(the Whole Unit Exchange Program or the Repair Program) and provide detailed
instructions for the program. Please see below for highlights of the two service programs.
When service involves the exchange of a unit or its parts, the items replaced become the
property of Epson. The new items assume the remaining warranty period of the original
product. Exchange printer and repair parts may be new or remanufactured to Epson
standards.
Whole Unit Exchange Program: For Epson to process a Whole Unit Exchange, you must
secure return of the defective product by providing Epson with a valid credit card number
with sufficient credit to cover the price of the replacement product. You will be billed at the
Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price for the printer if the defective product is not returned

to Epson within 10 business days of shipment of the replacement product from Epson. If the
unit is returned damaged because you have not properly packed or shipped it, you will be
billed for the damage. Upon verification of security, Epson will ship the replacement unit
promptly, typically via next business day delivery for most business locations. Shipments to
more remote locations and to residential addresses may be shipped for later delivery. For
calls completed prior to 2:00 PM Pacific Time the exchange unit will usually ship the same day.
For calls completed after 2:00 PM PT the exchange unit will usually ship on the following
business day.
It is your responsibility to unpack, re-install optional components (interface cards, paper tray,
roll paper spindle, etc.), and set up the exchange product at your location. It is also your
responsibility to properly repack the defective product in the exchange unit box and return it
to Epson within 10 business days using any instructions provided by Epson. You will need to
remove all optional components prior to its return. (For details on packaging and shipping,
please see “Repackaging and Transportation Instructions,” below.)
Repair Program: Under the Repair Program, you must either (a) ship your defective unit
directly to Epson’s central service facility, or (b) carry in the unit to an Epson-authorized
Customer Care Center near you. The defective unit will either be repaired and sent back to
you, or, if it is determined that repair is not practical, you will be sent a replacement unit.
If you choose method (a) above, you must first contact an Epson support technician, who will
explain the details and times for pick-up of the defective unit from your location. You will
need to package the unit in its original box and packing materials and prepare it for shipping.
If you do not have the box or packing materials you may obtain them through Epson. Please
allow five to seven business days after pick-up for the repaired unit or a replacement unit to
be sent to you. If you choose method (b) above, you can transport the unit without
packaging. (For details about proper packing, shipping, and carry-in procedures, please see
”Repackaging and Transportation Instructions,” below.)

Repackaging and Transportation Instructions: To avoid permanently damaging the
printer, it is extremely important that you follow the instructions below when preparing to
ship or transport the printer. (Please refer also to the additional instructions in your Printer
Guide.)
NOTES:
• In case shipment of the printer for service becomes necessary, to prevent un-repairable
damage to the printer, the printer should be packaged in its original box and packaging
materials and secured to a pallet. If you do not have these items, you must contact Epson
and Epson will supply appropriate items for your shipment.
• To prevent ink from spilling and damaging the printer during shipping or other transport,
the printer must be shipped or transported with 110 ml ink cartridges installed. The printer
is equipped with a valve system that closes and seals all ink supply lines. In order for this
valve system to properly close, the 110 ml ink cartridges must be installed and the ink lever
secured in the locked (up) position. Empty cartridges can be used for transportation
purposes.
• Have at least two people lift the printer when packaging or transporting it.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Turn on the printer.
2) Remove any paper or other media in the printer. Remove the roll paper spindle and
paper tray.
3) Make sure that 110 ml ink cartridges are installed in the printer. If you are using 220 ml
cartridges, remove them and install 110 ml cartridges.
Note: If you have the original 110 ml cartridges that came with the printer (even if they are
empty), install them before shipping the printer. To store any partially-used cartridges that
you take out before shipment, tape over the needle valve hole until you are ready to use
the cartridges again.

4) Make sure the print head is in the home (far right) position. Lock the print head by pushing
the green tab to the right.
5) Raise the ink levers. Turn off the printer and unplug the power cord.
CAUTION: Do not turn off the printer by unplugging it or turning off a power strip. You will not
be able to lock the print head in the home position, and ink left inside the reservoir will leak
out, damaging the printer.
6) If you have installed any optional components (for example, the EpsonNet print server
card), remove them before shipping.
WARNING: Components may be hot. After turning off and unplugging the printer, make sure
you allow each component to cool before handling it.
7) If you need to ship the printer, repack it using the original box and packing materials. If you
do not have the original box or packaging, contact Epson to arrange to obtain these.
8) If you are transporting the printer for carry-in service, leave the ink cartridges installed and
raise the ink levers. For carry-in service, you do not need to package the printer, but you must
transport it in a horizontal position on a flat, stable surface. If you are transporting the printer
in your own vehicle without the original packaging, make sure you wrap and pack the printer
securely.
What This Warranty Does Not Cover:
This warranty does not cover:
1) Any damage caused by using improper packaging materials or improper packaging and
shipping. Under the Whole Unit Exchange or Repair Programs you may be billed for these
damages.
2) Any damage caused by using unsuitable inks or ink delivery systems in the printer.
3) Any damage caused by use of non-Epson inks, ink cartridges, or media.

4) Any damage caused by third-party software, applications, parts, components or
peripheral devices added to the product after its shipment from Epson, e.g. dealer or
user-added boards, components, or cables.
5) Any damage caused by misuse, abuse, improper installation, neglect, failure to
maintain, improper packing or shipping, disasters such as fire, flood, lightning, improper
electrical currents, software problems, or interaction with non-Epson products.
6) Any damage from service performed by other than an Epson Authorized Servicer.
7) Service when the printer is used outside the U.S. and Canada.
8) Service where the printer label, logo, rating label, or serial number has been removed.
9) Any damage to used, refurbished or reconditioned products.
This warranty is not transferable. If a claimed defect cannot be identified or reproduced
in service, you will be held responsible for costs incurred.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES: THE WARRANTY AND REMEDY PROVIDED ABOVE ARE
EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. UNLESS STATED
HEREIN, ANY STATEMENTS OR REPRESENTATION MADE BY ANY OTHER PERSON OR
FIRM ARE VOID.
Remedies: Your exclusive remedy and Epson’s entire liability for a material breach of this
Agreement will be limited to a refund of the price paid for the Epson products covered by
this Agreement. Any action for breach of warranty must be brought within 15 months of
the date of original purchase. Epson is not liable for performance delays or for
nonperformance due to causes beyond its reasonable control. Except as provided in this
written warranty, neither Epson nor its affiliates shall be liable for any loss, inconvenience,
or damage, including direct, special, incidental or consequential damages, including lost
profits, cost of substitute equipment, downtime, claims of third parties, including

customers, or injury to property, resulting from the use or inability to use the Epson
products, whether resulting from a breach of warranty or any other legal theory. Some
jurisdictions do not allow limits on warranties or remedies for breach in certain
transactions. In such jurisdictions, the limits in this paragraph and the preceding
paragraph may not apply.
In Canada, warranties include both warranties and conditions.
Governing Laws: Any disputes arising out of this Agreement will be settled by arbitration
to be conducted in Los Angeles, California, in accordance with the commercial Arbitration
Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon the award rendered by
the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This Agreement
shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, except the
arbitration clause that shall be enforced pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act.
