Paper Handling Precautions
❏Read the instruction sheets supplied with the paper.
❏Fan and align the edges of the paper before loading. Do not fan or curl photo paper. Doing so may damage the
printable side.
❏If the paper is curled, atten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on curled
paper may cause paper jams and smears on the printout.
❏Paper feed problems may occur frequently for manual 2-sided printing when printing on one side of pre-
printed paper. Reduce the number of sheets to half or less, or load one sheet of paper at a time if paper jams
continue.
❏Fan and align the edges of the envelopes before loading. When the stacked envelopes are pued up with air,
press them down to atten them before loading.

Basic Information on Scanning
What is a "Scan"?
A "scan" is the process of converting the optical information of paper data (such as documents, magazine clippings,
photos, handwritten illustrations, and so on) into digital image data.
You can save scanned data as a digital image such as a JPEG or PDF.
You can then print the image, send it by email, and so on.
Scanning Uses
You can use scanning in a variety of ways to make your life more convenient.
❏By scanning a paper document and turning it into digital data, you can read it on a computer or a smart device.
❏By scanning tickets or yers into digital data, you can dispose of the originals and reduce clutter.
❏By scanning important documents, you can back them up to cloud services or another storage medium, just in
case they get lost.
❏You can send the scanned photos or documents to friends by email.
❏By scanning hand-drawn illustrations and so on, you can share them on social media at a much higher quality
than by just taking a photo on your smart device.
❏By scanning your favorite pages from newspapers or magazines, you can save them and dispose of the originals.
Available Scanning Methods
You can use any of the following methods to scan using this printer.

You can scan easily from the control panel.
Use the scanning application Epson ScanSmart to scan from the computer. You can edit images aer scanning.

Sending to a Cloud Service
You can send scanned images from the printer's control panel to cloud services that have been registered in
advance.
Scanning Using WSD
You can save the scanned image to a computer connected to the printer, using WSD feature.
If you are using the Windows 7/Windows Vista, you need to make WSD settings on your computer before
scanning.
Scanning Directly from Smart Devices
You can save scanned images directly to a smart device such as a smart phone or tablet by using the Epson Smart
Panel application on the smart device.
Recommended File Formats to Suit Your Purpose
Generally speaking, the JPEG format is suitable for photos while the PDF format is suitable for documents.
See the following descriptions to choose the best format for what you want to do.
File Format Description
JPEG (.jpg) A le format that allows you to compress the data to be saved. If the compression ratio
is high, the image quality declines, and you cannot convert the image back to the
original quality.
This is the standard image format for digital cameras. This format is suitable for images
that have many colors.

File Format Description
PDF (.pdf) A general le format that can be used across dierent operating systems and provides
the same level of screen display and print result.
You can view PDF les using dedicated PDF reading software or in Web browsers.
Recommended Resolutions to Suit Your Purpose
Resolution indicates the number of pixels (smallest area of an image) for each inch (25.4 mm), and is measured in
dpi (dots per inch). e advantage of increasing the resolution is that the details in the image become ne.
However, it can also have the following disadvantages.
❏e le size becomes large
(When you double the resolution, the le size becomes about four times larger.)
❏Scanning, saving, and reading the image takes a long time
❏e image becomes too large to t the display or print on the paper
See the table and set the appropriate resolution for the purpose of your scanned image.

Normally, a single Power Cleaning should resolve the print quality issue within 12 hours. erefore, to avoid
unnecessary ink usage, you must wait 12 hours before you try it again.
c
Important:
Maintenance box replacement may be required.
Ink will be deposited to the maintenance box. If it becomes full, you must prepare and install a replacement
maintenance box to continue printing.

Preventing nozzle clogging
Always use the power button when turning the printer on and o.
Check that the power light is o before you disconnect the power cord.
e ink itself can dry out if it is not covered. Just like placing a cap on a fountain pen or an oil pen to prevent it
from drying, make sure the print head is capped properly to prevent the ink from drying.
When the power cord is unplugged or a power outage occurs while the printer is in operation, the print head may
not be capped properly. If the print head is le as it is, it will dry out causing nozzles (ink outlets) to clog.
In these cases, turn the printer on and o again as soon as possible to cap the print head.

Ink Bottle Handling Precautions
Read the following instructions before relling ink.
Storing precautions for ink
❏Keep the ink bottles out of direct sunlight.
❏Do not store the ink bottles in high or freezing temperatures.
❏Epson recommends using the ink bottle before the date printed on the package.
❏When storing or transporting an ink bottle, do not tilt the bottle and do not subject it to impacts or temperature
changes. Otherwise, ink may leak even if the cap on the ink bottle is tightened securely. Be sure to keep the ink
bottle upright when tightening the cap, and take precautions to prevent ink from leaking when transporting the
bottle, for example, putting the bottle in a bag.
❏Aer bringing an ink bottle inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least
three hours before using it.
❏Do not open the ink bottle package until you are ready to ll the ink tank. e ink bottle is vacuum packed to
maintain its reliability. If you leave an ink bottle unpacked for a long time before using it, normal printing may
not be possible.
❏Once you open an ink bottle, we recommend using it as soon as possible.
Handling precautions for relling ink
❏To ensure you receive premium print quality and to help protect your print head, a variable ink safety reserve
remains in the ink tank when your printer indicates to rell ink. e yields quoted for you do not include this
reserve.
❏For optimum print results do not maintain low ink levels for extended periods of time.
❏Use ink bottles with the correct part code for this printer.
❏e ink for this printer must be handled carefully. Ink may splatter when the ink tanks are being lled or relled
with ink. If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come o.
❏Do not shake too vigorously or squeeze the ink bottles.
❏Prolonged use of the printer when the ink level is below the lower line could damage the printer. Fill the ink
tank to the upper line while the printer is not operating. To display the correct ink level estimates, reset the ink
level aer lling the tank.
❏To obtain optimum printing results, rell the ink tanks to the upper line at least once every year.
Ink consumption
❏To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all ink tanks during maintenance
operations such as print head cleaning. Ink may also be consumed when you turn the printer on.
❏When printing in monochrome or grayscale, color inks instead of black ink may be used depending on the
paper type or print quality settings. is is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.
❏e ink in the ink bottles supplied with your printer is partly used during initial setup. In order to produce high
quality printouts, the print head in your printer will be fully charged with ink. is one-o process consumes a
quantity of ink and therefore these bottles may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink bottles.

Ink Bottle Handling Precautions
202
❏Quoted yields may vary depending on the images that you are printing, the paper type that you are using, the
frequency of your prints and environmental conditions such as temperature.
❏Visually check ink levels in the actual ink tanks. Prolonged use of the printer when the ink is expended could
damage the printer. Epson recommends lling the ink tank to the upper line when the printer is not operating
to reset the ink level.
Relling the Ink Tanks
1. Close the document cover if it is open.

When you insert the ink bottle into the lling port for the correct color, ink starts pouring and the ow stops
automatically when the ink reaches the upper line.
If the ink does not start owing into the tank, remove the ink bottle and reinsert it. However, do not remove
