❏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

otherwise ink may leak.
❏Allow spaces behind the product for the cables, and space above the product so that you can fully raise the
front cover.
❏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.

❏If any of the ink tanks are not filled up to the lower line, refill the ink soon. Continued use of the product
when the ink level is below the lower line on the tanks could damage the product.
❏If you are not going to use the product for a long period, be sure to unplug the power cord from the electrical

Ink Bottle Safety Instructions, Precautions, and
Specifications
Safety instructions
Observe the following when handling the ink:
❏Keep ink bottles and the ink tank unit out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to drink from or
handle the ink bottles and ink bottle cap.
❏Do not tilt or shake an ink bottle after removing its seal; this can cause leakage.
❏Be careful not to touch any ink when you handle the ink tanks, ink tank caps, and opened ink bottles or ink
bottle caps.
If ink gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water.
If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems continue after
a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.
If ink gets into your mouth, spit it out immediately and see a doctor right away.
Precautions on refilling ink
Read all of the instructions in this section before refilling ink.
❏Use ink bottles with the correct part number for this product.
& “Ink Bottles Information” on page 30
❏Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson ink bottles. Epson cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of
non-genuine ink. The use of non-genuine ink may cause damage that is not covered by Epson’s warranties,
and under certain circumstances, may cause erratic product behavior.
❏Other products not manufactured by Epson may cause damage that is not covered by Epson’s warranties, and
under certain circumstances, may cause erratic product behavior.
❏This product requires careful handling of ink. Ink may splatter when the ink tanks are filled or refilled with
ink. If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.
❏To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all ink tanks not only during
printing but also during maintenance operation such as print head cleaning.
❏Do not open the ink bottle package until you are ready to fill the ink tank. The 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.
❏If any of the ink tanks are not filled up to the lower line, refill the ink soon. Continued use of the product
when the ink level is below the lower line on the tanks could damage the product.
User’s Guide
Refilling Ink
31
❏After 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.
❏Store ink bottles in a cool, dark place.
❏Store the ink bottles in the same environment as the product. When storing or transporting an ink bottle after
removing its seal, 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 measures to prevent ink from leaking when you transport the bottle.
Ink bottle specifications
❏Epson recommends using the ink bottle before the date printed on the package.
❏Some ink is consumed in the initial charging. In order to produce high quality printouts, the print head in
your product will be fully charged with ink.
❏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.
❏Although the ink bottles may contain recycled materials, this does not affect product function or performance.
❏When printing in monochrome or grayscale, color inks instead of black ink may be used depending on the
paper type or print quality settings. This is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.
Checking the Ink Levels
To confirm the actual ink remaining, visually check the ink levels in all of the product’s tanks.
c
Important:
If any of the ink tanks are not filled up to the lower line, fill them to the upper line on the ink tank. Continued use
of the product when the ink level is below the lower line on the tanks could damage the product.

Below are two sample nozzle check patterns.
Compare the quality of the printed check page with the sample shown below. If there are no print quality
problems, such as gaps or missing segments in the test lines, the print head is fine.
If any segment of the printed lines is missing, as shown below, this could mean a clogged ink nozzle or a
misaligned print head.

Important:
❏Do not open the front cover or turn off the product during head cleaning. If the head cleaning is incomplete,
you may not be able to print.
❏If print quality does not improve after repeating this procedure three times, turn the product off and wait for
at least twelve hours. Then run the nozzle check again and repeat head cleaning if necessary. If print quality
has still not improved, contact Epson support.
Note:
❏Because print head cleaning uses some ink from all tanks, clean the print head only if quality declines; for example,
if the printout is blurry or the color is incorrect or missing.
❏Use the Nozzle Check utility first to confirm that the print head needs to be cleaned. This saves ink.
❏When ink is low you may not be able to clean the print head. Prepare a new ink bottle.
❏To maintain print quality, we recommend printing a few pages on a regular basis.
