Paper Handling Precautions
❏Read the instruction sheets supplied with the paper.
❏To achieve high-quality printouts with genuine Epson paper, use the paper in the environment stated on the
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.
❏Make sure you are using long-grain paper. If you are not sure what type of paper you are using, check the paper
packaging or contact the manufacturer to conrm the paper specications.
❏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.

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
❏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.
❏If the ink tank is not lled up to the lower line, rell the ink soon. Prolonged use of the printer when the ink
level is below the lower line could damage the printer.
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.
❏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.

e following causes can be considered.
Paper is loaded incorrectly.
Solutions
When horizontal banding (perpendicular to the printing direction) appears, or the top or bottom of the
paper is smeared, load paper in the correct direction and slide the edge guides to the edges of the paper.
