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

Using these types of paper causes paper jams and smears on the printout.
❏Make sure you are using long-grain paper. If you are not sure what type of paper you are using, check the paper

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.
❏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.
❏Once you open an ink bottle, we recommend using it as soon as possible.
❏Epson recommends using the ink bottle before the date printed on the package.
User's Guide
Relling Ink
98
❏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.
❏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.
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.
❏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.
❏Use ink bottles with the correct part code for this printer.
❏Do not shake too vigorously or squeeze the ink bottles.
❏For optimum print results do not maintain low ink levels for extended periods of time.
❏To obtain optimum printing results, rell the ink tanks to the upper line at least once every year.
❏Prolonged use of the printer when the ink level is below the lower line 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.
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.
Relling the Ink Tanks
Ink can be relled at any time.

Maintaining the Printer
Preventing the Print Head from Drying
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.
Checking and Cleaning the Print Head
If the nozzles are clogged, the printouts become faint, there is visible banding, or unexpected colors appear. When
print quality has declined, use the nozzle check feature and check if the nozzles are clogged. If the nozzles are
clogged, clean the print head.
c
Important:
❏Do not open the inner cover or turn o the printer during head cleaning. If the head cleaning is incomplete, you
may not be able to print.
❏Because print head cleaning uses some ink, clean the print head only if quality declines.
❏When ink is low, you may not be able to clean the print head.
❏If print quality has not improved aer repeating nozzle check and head cleaning three times, wait for at least 12
hours without printing, and then run the nozzle check again. We recommend to turn o the printer. If print
quality has still not improved, run Power Cleaning. If it has still not improved, contact Epson support.
❏To prevent the print head from drying out, do not unplug the printer while the power is on.
