❏Unplug the product and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the product; the product has been dropped or the casing

Setting up/using the product
❏Do not block or cover the vents and openings in the product.
❏Use only the type of power source indicated on the product’s label.
❏Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.
❏Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers.
❏Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as
loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.
❏The power-supply cords should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do not place
objects on top of the power-supply cords and do not allow the power-supply cords to be stepped on or run over. Be
particularly careful to keep all the power-supply cords straight at the ends and the points where they enter and
leave the transformer.
❏If you use an extension cord with the product, make sure that the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into
the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure that the total ampere rating of all
devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating.
❏If you plan to use the product in Germany, the building installation must be protected by a 10 or 16 amp circuit
breaker to provide adequate short-circuit protection and over-current protection for the product.
❏When connecting the product to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the correct orientation of the
connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a connector in the wrong orientation may
damage both devices connected by the cable.
❏Place the product on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base of the product in all directions. If you place
the product by the wall, leave more than 10 cm between the back of the product and the wall. The product will not
operate properly if it is tilted at an angle.
❏When storing or transporting the product, avoid tilting it, placing it vertically, or turning it upside down;
otherwise ink may leak.
❏Allow spaces behind the product for the cables, and space above the product so that you can fully raise the
document cover.
❏Leave enough space in front of the product for the paper to be fully ejected.
❏Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Also, keep the product away from direct
sunlight, strong light, or heat sources.
❏Do not insert objects through the slots in the product.
❏Do not put your hand inside the product or touch the ink cartridges during printing.
❏Do not touch the white flat cable inside the product.
❏Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the product. Doing so may cause
fire.
❏Do not move the ink cartridge holder by hand; otherwise, you may damage the product.

❏Always turn the product off using the Pbutton. Do not unplug the product or turn off the power at the outlet until
the LCD screen has turned off completely.
❏Before transporting the product, make sure that the print head is in the home (far right) position and the ink
cartridges are in place.
❏Be careful not to trap your fingers when closing the scanner unit.
❏If you are not going to use the product for a long period, be sure to unplug the power cord from the electrical
outlet.
❏Do not press too hard on the scanner glass when placing the originals.
❏During the life of your product it may be necessary to replace the waste ink pad when it has become full. Whether
and how often this is required will vary according to the number of pages you print, the type of material that you
print and the number of cleaning cycles that the product performs. Epson Status Monitor, your LCD, or lights on
the control panel will advise you when this part needs replacing. The need for replacement of the pad does not
mean that your product has ceased to operate in accordance with its specifications. The replacement of this part is
a routine product servicing activity within the product’s specification and is not a problem which requires repair.
The Epson warranty does not therefore cover the cost of this replacement. If your product needs the pad replacing
this can be performed for you by any authorised Epson service provider. It is not a user-serviceable part.
Using the product with a wireless connection
Note:
The availability of this feature varies by product.
❏Do not use this product inside medical facilities or near medical equipment. Radio waves from this product may
adversely affect the operation of electrical medical equipment.
❏Do not use this product near automatically controlled devices such as automatic doors or fire alarms. Radio waves
from this product may adversely affect these devices, and could lead to accidents due to malfunction.
Using the LCD screen
❏The LCD screen may contain a few small bright or dark spots, and because of its features it may have an uneven
brightness. These are normal and do not indicate that it is damaged in any way.
❏Only use a dry, soft cloth to clean the LCD screen. Do not use liquid or chemical cleansers.
❏The exterior cover of the LCD screen could break if it receives a heavy impact. Contact your dealer if the panel
surface chips or cracks, and do not touch or attempt to remove the broken pieces.

Paper and Media Handling
Introduction to Using, Loading, and Storing Media
You can achieve good results with most types of plain paper. However, coated papers provide superior prints because
they absorb less ink.
Epson provides special papers that are formulated for the ink used in Epson ink jet products, and recommends these
papers to ensure high-quality results.
When loading special paper distributed by Epson, read the instruction sheets packed with the paper first and keep the
following points in mind.
Note:
❏Load the paper into the rear paper feed printable side up. The printable side is usually whiter or glossier. See the
instruction sheets packed with the paper for more information. Some types of paper have cut corners to help identify the
correct loading direction.
❏If the paper is curled, flatten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on curled paper may
cause ink to smear on your prints. Do not use the paper that is folded, wavy or torn.
Storing paper
Return unused paper to the original package as soon as you finish printing. When handling special media, Epson
recommends storing your prints in a resealable plastic bag. Keep unused paper and prints away from high
temperature, humidity, and direct sunlight.
Selecting Paper
The table below lists supported papers. Loading capacity and borderless print availability varies by paper as shown.
