Purchasing Extended Service:
the Epson Preferred Plus Plan
The Epson Preferred Limited Warranty Plan offers premium warranty service for
one year. We’d like to inform you of the opportunity to extend that premium
level of service through the Epson Preferred Plus Plan – Epson’s extended
service contracts for the Epson Stylus Pro large format printers. Just purchase
the Preferred Plus Plan and you’ll continue to have the same service and
support we provide under the limited warranty, including access to our toll-free
priority technical support line and our on-site hardware service.
You may purchase a two-year or one-year Preferred Plus Plan. The conditions
for purchase are stated immediately below.
Two-Year Preferred Plus Option:
This plan is available for purchase only during the one-year limited warranty
period. It provides you with two additional years of service after the end of your
original warranty, for a total of three years of coverage. No renewal of extended
service is available after that time.
One-Year Preferred Plus Option:
This plan is available for purchase during the one-year limited warranty period,
and, under certain conditions, after that period.
Purchase During the One-Year Warranty Period
If you purchase our one-year extended service plan during the warranty period,
the plan provides you with one additional year of service after the end of
your original warranty, for a total of two years of coverage. Epson may at its
discretion allow you to renew your extended service for one additional year (for
three years of total coverage), subject to the conditions described in the next
paragraph. No further renewal of extended service is available after that time.
SP7898_PW_CPD20273.indd 3 7/29/05 8:20:20 AM

In order to qualify for a one-year renewal of extended service, your printer must still
have at least 40% of the manufacturer-specified carriage motor life remaining. The
information on the remaining carriage motor life can be obtained from the printer
Control Panel by pressing the Menu button: Menu > Printer Status > Service Life.
At least two stars (of the printer’s original five stars) must be displayed. Even if the
printer has sufficient carriage motor life, Epson may still at its discretion not allow
renewal based on the printer’s service and usage history.
Purchase After the One-Year Warranty Period
Epson may at its discretion allow you to purchase our one-year extended service
plan after expiration of your printer’s original warranty period, subject to the
conditions described below. No renewal is available after that one year of extended
service.
In order to qualify for purchase of our one-year plan after expiration of the warranty:
• The printer must be no more than two years old based on initial shipment data
from Epson’s warehouse.
• The printer must still have at least 40% of the manufacturer-specified carriage
motor life remaining. See above (under “Purchase During the One-Year Warranty
Period”) for how to check this.
• At your expense, maintenance service (or, if the printer is currently malfunctioning,
then a time and material repair) must be performed by an Epson Authorized
Customer Care Center, to be sure that the printer is in good working condition
and meets Epson’s field repair specifications. The one-year Preferred Plus Plan
must be purchased within 30 days of this service or repair.
You can obtain detailed terms and pricing information, and purchase a one- or two-
year Preferred Plus Plan, from your participating Epson Stylus Pro dealer or from the
Epson StoreSM at http://www.epson.com.

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 large format ink jet printer covered by this
limited warranty statement, if purchased and used in the United States 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 large
format ink jet 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. You may also need to provide proof of purchase
if warranty coverage cannot be verified by the serial number. An Epson service
technician will work with you to try to resolve the problem, and if your printer needs
repair, diagnose the issue and determine what parts may be required.
If service is required, the technician will advise you which service program will be
utilized (On-Site Response, Printer Exchange, or Depot Repair) and provide detailed
instructions for the program. Please see the next page for highlights of the 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. Parts may be new or remanufactured to Epson standards.
On-Site Response: If the printer needs hardware repair and you are within Epson’s
on-site service territory, an Epson Authorized Servicer will be contacted to make the
repair at your facility. Epson will usually dispatch repair parts and a technician to your
location for the next business day if determination that repair is required occurs prior
to 1:00 PM Pacific Time. If that determination is made after 1:00 PM, dispatch will
usually be for the second business day. An adult must be available to accept the parts
delivery and be present at all times while a technician is on-site. Epson’s shipment of
service parts does not imply that replacement is required.
Printer Exchange: Epson may, at its sole discretion, elect to replace a printer that for
whatever reason appears to require technical services beyond the capability of field
repair. Under these circumstances, Epson will replace the printer with the same or a
comparable printer refurbished to the Epson standard of quality. (The replacement
printer will not include promotional materials, accessories, stands, documentation,
manuals, software, or cables.) The customer must be able to receive, unpack, and
install the replacement printer, and prepare the defective printer for return shipment
by following the procedures described in the user manual or documentation provided
by Epson. The repacked defective printer will be picked up by a carrier designated
by Epson. If the defective product is not prepared for return within seven business
days of receipt of the replacement printer, the customer will be invoiced at the then-
current manufacturer’s suggested retail price for the replacement printer. It is your
responsibility to unpack, re-install optional components (interface cards, roll paper
spindle, etc.), and set up the exchange printer at your location.
SP7898_PW_CPD20273.indd 7 7/29/05 8:20:24 AM

Depot Repair: If your location is outside Epson’s on-site service territory, you must
ship your printer to an Epson-designated depot for repair. Areas outside the on-
site service territory include, for example, U.S. territories and possessions. It is your
responsibility to properly prepare the printer for shipping as described in your
documentation and securely package it in its original container or equivalent. Epson
will repair your printer, usually within seven business days following receipt, and then
return it to you. It is your obligation to re-assemble the repaired printer.
What This Warranty Does Not Cover:
This warranty does not cover:
1) Any damage caused by using non-Epson inks or ink cartridges, or any ink
delivery system other than the system built into the printer (for example, any
bulk ink system).
2) Any damage caused by third-party media, software, applications, parts,
components or peripheral devices added to the product after its shipment from
Epson, (for example, dealer or user-added boards, components, or cables).
3) 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.
4) Any damage from service performed by other than an Epson Authorized
Servicer.
5) Service when the printer is used outside the U.S. and Canada.

6) Service where the printer label, logo, rating label, or serial number has been
removed.
7) Any damage to used, refurbished, or reconditioned products.
8) Any color change or fading of prints, or reimbursement of materials or services
required for reprinting.
9) Any damage caused by using improper packaging materials or improper
packaging and shipping.
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, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. 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.
Arbitration, 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 this arbitration clause which shall be
construed in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act.
