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

Ink Cartridge Handling Precautions
Read the following instructions before replacing ink cartridges.
Storing precautions for ink
❏Keep the ink cartridges out of direct sunlight.
❏Do not store the ink cartridges in high or freezing temperatures.
❏Epson recommends using the ink cartridge before the date printed on the package.
❏For best results, use up ink cartridge within six months of opening the package.
❏For best results, store ink cartridge packages with their bottom down.
❏Aer bringing an ink cartridge 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 cartridge package until you are ready to install it in the printer. e cartridge is vacuum
packed to maintain its reliability. If you leave a cartridge unpacked for a long time before using it, normal
printing may not be possible.
Handling precautions for replacing ink cartridges
❏Be careful not to break the hooks on the side of the ink cartridge when you remove it from the package.
❏You must remove the yellow tape from the cartridge before installing it; otherwise, print quality may decline or
you may not be able to print. Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this can cause leakage.
User's Guide
Replacing Ink Cartridges and Other Consumables
140
❏Do not remove the transparent seal from the bottom of the cartridge; otherwise, the cartridge may become
unusable.
❏Do not touch the sections shown in the illustration. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing.
❏Install all ink cartridges; otherwise you cannot print.
❏Do not replace ink cartridges with the power o. Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may
damage the printer.
❏Do not turn o the printer during ink charging. If the ink charging is incomplete, you may not be able to print.
❏Do not leave the printer with the ink cartridges removed or do not turn o the printer during cartridge
replacement. Otherwise, ink remaining in the print head nozzles will dry out and you may not be able to print.
❏If you need to remove an ink cartridge temporarily, make sure you protect the ink supply area from dirt and
dust. Store the ink cartridge in the same environment as the printer, with the ink supply port facing down or
sideways. Do not store ink cartridges with the ink supply port facing up. Because the ink supply port is
equipped with a valve designed to contain the release of excess ink, there is no need to supply your own covers
or plugs.
❏Removed ink cartridges may have ink around the ink supply port, so be careful not to get any ink on the
surrounding area when removing the cartridges.
❏is printer uses ink cartridges equipped with a green chip that monitors information such as the amount of
remaining ink for each cartridge. is means that even if the cartridge is removed from the printer before it is
expended, you can still use the cartridge aer reinserting it back into the printer. However, when reinserting a
cartridge, some ink may be consumed to guarantee printer performance.
❏For maximum ink eciency, only remove an ink cartridge when you are ready to replace it. Ink cartridges with
low ink status may not be used when reinserted.
❏To ensure you receive premium print quality and to help protect your print head, a variable ink safety reserve
remains in the cartridge when your printer indicates to replace the cartridge. e yields quoted for you do not
include this reserve.
User's Guide
Replacing Ink Cartridges and Other Consumables
141
❏Do not disassemble or remodel the ink cartridge, otherwise you may not be able to print normally.
❏You cannot use the cartridges that came with the printer for the replacement.
Ink consumption
❏To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all cartridges during maintenance
operations. Ink may also be consumed when you replace ink cartridge or 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 cartridges 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 cartridges may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink
cartridges.
❏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.

Important:
Once a maintenance box has been installed in a printer it cannot be used with other printers.
Maintenance Box Handling Precautions
Read the following instructions before replacing the maintenance box.
❏Do not touch the sections shown in the illustration. Doing so may prevent normal operation and you may get
smeared with ink.
❏Do not drop the maintenance box or subject it to strong shocks.
❏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.
❏When the cover cannot be reattached, the maintenance box may not be installed correctly. Remove the
maintenance box, and re-install it.
❏Do not tilt the used maintenance box until aer it is sealed in the plastic bag; otherwise ink may leak.
❏Do not touch the openings in the maintenance box as you may get smeared with ink.
❏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.
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.
When a message is displayed prompting you to replace the maintenance box, refer to the animations displayed on
the control panel. e need for replacement of the box does not mean that your printer has ceased to operate in

serviceable part.
Note:
❏When the maintenance box is full, you cannot print and clean the print head until it is replaced to avoid ink leakage.
However, you can perform operations that do not use ink such as scanning.

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 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.
❏If print quality has not improved aer repeating nozzle check and head cleaning about four times, wait for at
least six hours without printing, and then run the nozzle check again and repeat the head cleaning if necessary.
