Purchasing Extended Service:
the Epson Preferred Plus Service
and Support 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 Service and Support Plan –
Epson’s extended service contracts for the Epson Stylus Pro 24- and 44-inch
wide format printers. Just purchase the Preferred Plus Service and Support 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 Service and Support
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.

If you purchased a one-year extended service plan, in order to qualify for a one-year
renewal of that service the Total Prints counter on the printer must be at 9000 pages
or less. The information on the Total Prints counter can be obtained from the printer
Control Panel by pressing the Menu button: Menu > Printer Status > Total Prints.
Even if the total number of prints on the printer does not exceed the specified 9000
pages, 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 Total Prints counter on the printer must be at 9000 pages or less. 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 Service
and Support 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 Service and Support 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 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 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.
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), or non-Epson media.
2) Any damage caused by third-party 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.
