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

paper may cause paper jams and smears on the printout.
❏Do not use paper that is wavy, torn, cut, folded, damp, too thick, too thin, or paper that has stickers stuck to it.
Using these types of paper causes paper jams and smears on the printout.
❏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.
❏Do not use envelopes that are curled or folded. Using these envelopes causes paper jams and smears on the

Ink Bottle Handling Precautions
Read the following instructions before relling ink.
Handling precautions
❏Use ink bottles with the correct part code for this printer.
❏is printer requires careful handling of ink. Ink may splatter when the ink tanks are 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.
❏Once you open an ink bottle, we recommend using it as soon as possible.
❏Store ink bottles at normal room temperature and keep them away from direct sunlight.
❏Epson recommends using the ink bottle before the date printed on the package.
❏Store the ink bottles in the same environment as the printer.
❏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.
❏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 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.
❏Although the ink bottles may contain recycled materials, this does not aect printer function or performance.
❏Specications and appearance of the ink bottle are subject to change without prior notice for improvement.
❏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.
Ink consumption
❏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.
❏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.

Maintenance Box Handling Precautions
Read the following instructions before replacing the maintenance box.
❏Do not touch the green chip on the side of the maintenance box. Doing so may prevent normal operation and
printing.
User's Guide
Relling Ink and Replacing Maintenance Boxes
123
❏Do not replace the maintenance box during printing; otherwise, ink may leak.
❏Do not remove the maintenance box and its cover except when replacing the maintenance box; otherwise ink
may leak.
❏Do not reuse a maintenance box which has been removed and le detached for a long period. Ink inside the box
will have solidied and no more ink can be absorbed.
❏Keep the maintenance box out of direct sunlight.
❏Do not store the maintenance box in high or freezing temperatures.
❏Once a maintenance box has been installed in a printer it cannot be used with other printers.
Replacing a Maintenance Box
In some print cycles a very small amount of surplus ink may be collected in the maintenance box. To prevent ink
leakage from the maintenance box, the printer is designed to stop printing when the absorbing capacity of the
maintenance box has reached its limit. Whether and how oen 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 printer performs.
Replace the maintenance box when you are promoted to do so. e Epson Status Monitor, your LCD, or lights on
the control panel will advise you when this part needs replacing. e need for replacement of the box does not
mean that your printer has ceased to operate in accordance with its specications. e Epson warranty does not
cover the cost of this replacement. It is a user-serviceable part.
1. Remove the new maintenance box from its package.
c
Important:
Do not touch the green chip on the side of the maintenance box. Doing so may prevent normal operation and
printing.

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 scanner unit 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. Prepare a new ink bottle.
❏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 and repeat the head cleaning if necessary. 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.
