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 GS6000 64-inch wide solvent printer.
Just purchase the Preferred Plus Plan during the one-year limited warranty
period 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 only during the one-year limited warranty
period. It 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.

In order to qualify for a one-year renewal of extended 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.
Out-of-Warranty Contract
Epson also offers out-of-warranty contracts for customers whose printer is out
of warranty and not covered by any Preferred Plus Plan. Please see your Epson
representative for details, or visit 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 GS6000 64-inch wide solvent 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 GS6000
64-inch wide solvent 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 On-Site Response service program will be utilized in almost
all cases. The technician will provide additional instructions about the program at the
time this service is being setup. In rare cases, in its sole discretion Epson may instead
elect to exchange the unit. 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, in 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 rare 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, reinstall optional components (interface cards, roll paper
spindle, etc.), and set up the exchange printer at your location.
