Network Security Recommendations

To help deter unauthorized access to your product over a network, you should protect your network

environment using appropriate security measures.

Security measures such as these can help deter threats such as loss of user data, use of telephone and

fax lines, and other intrusions:

•Enable security on your wireless LAN

Enable the appropriate security on the wireless LAN you plan to use with your product. Network

security such as a network password can deter interception of traffic over the wireless LAN. Your

router may already have a default password enabled by your Internet service provider (ISP). See your

ISP and router documentation for instructions on how to change the default password and better

secure your network.

•Connect your product only to a network protected by a firewall

Connecting your product directly to the Internet may leave it vulnerable to security threats. Instead,

connect it to a router or other network connection protected by a firewall. Your router may already

have a firewall set up by your Internet service provider; check with your ISP for confirmation. For best

results, set up and use a private IP address for your network connection.

•Change the default administrator password on your product

If your product has an option to set an administrator password, change the default administrator

password to deter access by unauthorized users to personal data stored on your product, such as IDs,

passwords, and contact lists.

Parent topic: Wi-Fi or Wired Networking

Wi-Fi Infrastructure Mode Setup

You can set up your product to communicate with your computer using a wireless router or access point.

The wireless router or access point can be connected to your computer over a wireless or wired network.

Scan Resolution Guidelines

The Resolution setting, measured in dpi (dots per inch), controls the amount of detail captured in your

scans. Increasing the resolution raises the amount of detail captured but comes with the following

disadvantages:

• Larger file sizes

• It takes longer to scan your originals, send/receive your scans by email or fax, and to print your scans

• The image may become too large to fit on your display or print on paper

If you plan to enlarge a scanned image so you can print it at a larger size, you may need to increase the

resolution from the default resolution set by Epson Scan 2. Follow these guidelines to determine the

resolution setting you need:

• You will scan the image at its original size but enlarge it later in an image-editing program.

Increase the Epson Scan 2 Resolution setting in your scan. Increase the resolution by the same

amount you will increase the image size to retain a high image quality. For example, if the resolution is

300 dpi (dots per inch) and you will double the image size later, change the Resolution setting to 600

dpi.

• You will scan the image at 100% or smaller size.

Select the Epson Scan 2 Resolution setting based on how you will use the scanned image:

• Email/view on a computer screen/post on the web: 96 to 200 dpi

• Print/fax/convert to editable text (OCR)/create searchable PDF: 200 to 300 dpi

Replacing Ink Cartridges and Maintenance Boxes

The maintenance box stores ink that gets flushed from the system during print head cleaning. When an

ink cartridge is expended or the maintenance box is at the end of its service life, you need to replace it.

their best, even after cleaning and aligning the print head.

Note: Please dispose of your used Epson branded ink cartridges and maintenance boxes responsibly

and in accordance with local requirements. If you would like to return your used ink cartridges and

maintenance boxes to Epson for proper disposal, please go to epson.com/recycle for more information.

Purchase Epson Ink Cartridges and Maintenance Box

You can purchase genuine Epson ink, maintenance boxes, and paper at epson.com (U.S. sales),

epson.ca (Canadian sales), or epson.com.jm (Caribbean sales). You can also purchase supplies from

an Epson authorized reseller. To find the nearest one, call 800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766) in the U.S.

or 800-807-7766 in Canada.

Note: This printer is designed for use with Epson cartridges only, not third-party cartridges or ink. Other

brands of ink supplies are not compatible and, if described as compatible, may not function properly or

continuously. Such restrictions can be avoided with some other printers such as Epson EcoTank

cartridge-free printers.

The included initial cartridges are designed for reliable printer setup and cannot be used as replacement

cartridges or resold. After setup, the remaining ink is available for printing. Yields are based on ISO

24711 in default mode, printing continuously. Yields vary due to print images, settings, and

temperatures. Printing infrequently or primarily with one color reduces yields. All cartridges must be

installed with ink for printing and printer maintenance. For print quality, some ink remains in replaced

cartridges.

Product Cannot Connect to a Wireless Router or Access Point

If your product has trouble finding or connecting to a wireless router or access point, try these solutions:

• If you are connecting the product via Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) and the Wi-Fi icon on your

product's LCD screen is not lit or does not appear, make sure you select one of the WPS options from

the product control panel within 2 minutes of pressing the WPS button on your router.

• Make sure to place your product within contact range of your 2.4 GHz router or access point. Avoid

placing your product near a microwave oven, 2.4 GHz cordless phone, or large metal object, such as a

filing cabinet.

228

Note: If you are using a 5 GHz wireless router, set the router to operate in dual band (2.4 GHz and

5 GHz) mode. If your router uses a single network name (SSID) for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band,

give each band its own network name (SSID) instead, such as Home Network 2.4 GHz and Home

Network 5 GHz. See your router documentation or contact your internet service provider for

instructions.

• Verify that your router or access point is operating correctly by connecting to it from your computer or

another device.

• Print a network connection report and check the codes and messages on the report to help determine

the cause of the problem.

• You may need to disable the firewall and any anti-virus software on your wireless router or access

point.

• Try restarting your router following the instructions in your router documentation.

Note: If you are reading these instructions online, you will lose your Internet connection when you

restart your router.

• Check to see if access restrictions, such as MAC address filtering, are set on the router or access

point. If access restrictions are set, add your product's MAC address to your router's address list. To

obtain your product's MAC address, print a network status sheet. Then follow the instructions in your

router or access point documentation to add the address to the list.

• If your router or access point does not broadcast its network name (SSID), follow the instructions that

came with your product to enter your wireless network name manually.

• If your router or access point has security enabled, determine the kind of security it is using and any

required password or passphrase for connection. Then make sure to enter the exact WEP key or WPA

passphrase correctly.

• Check if your computer is restricting the available wireless channels. If so, verify that your wireless

access point is using one of the usable channels and change to a usable channel, if necessary.

• If you cannot connect your product to a device using Wi-Fi Direct, you may have exceeded the

maximum number of devices connected to your product (8). Print a network status sheet or access

Web Config on the browser for your device and check the number of connected devices. If 8 devices

are already connected, disconnect a device by deleting the product's SSID from the Wi-Fi screen of

that device. If fewer than 8 devices are connected, check the accuracy of your other network settings,

move your device closer to your product, and try connecting again.

• If you are using a Wi-Fi Direct connection that suddenly disconnects, the Wi-Fi direct password on

your device may have been changed. If necessary, delete the existing DIRECT-xxxxxxxx connection

settings from your device and enter a new password. See your device documentation for instructions.

229

• If you connected your product to a Windows computer using Wi-Fi Direct and it automatically selected

Access Point Mode, you may have trouble accessing a low-priority Internet connection. Check the

network connection or adapter settings in the Windows Control Panel and set the Internet metric

setting to 100 for your version of the Internet Protocol.

sheet.

• If you have replaced your router, reinstall your product software to connect to the new router.

230

Note: If you are using a 5 GHz wireless router, set the router to operate in dual band (2.4 GHz and

5 GHz) mode. If your router uses a single network name (SSID) for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band,

give each band its own network name (SSID) instead, such as Home Network 2.4 GHz and Home

Network 5 GHz. See your router documentation or contact your internet service provider for

• Avoid handling printouts on glossy paper right after printing to allow the ink to set.

• Turn off any high speed settings in your product software.

• If you print on both sides of a sheet of paper, smudges may appear on the reverse side of heavily

saturated or dark images. If one side of a sheet will contain a lighter image or text, print that side first.

Make sure the ink has dried before reloading the paper to print on the other side. Adjust the density

and/or ink drying time settings.

• If printed copies are smeared, lower the copy density setting on the product control panel.

• Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if

necessary.

• Align the print head.

If your printouts are grainy, try these solutions:

• Make sure you loaded the printable side of the paper correctly for your product.

• Select a higher print quality setting and turn off any high speed settings in your product software.

• Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if

necessary.

• Align the print head.

• You may need to increase the image resolution or print a smaller size; see your software

documentation.

Note: Images from the Internet may be low resolution and not result in a high quality printout.

• If you enlarged the image size in an image-editing program, you need to increase the image resolution

setting to retain a high image quality. Increase the image resolution by the same amount you increase

the image size. For example, if the image resolution is 300 dpi (dots per inch) and you will double the

image size for printing, change the resolution setting to 600 dpi.

Note: Higher resolution settings result in larger file sizes, which take longer to process and print.

Consider the limitations of your computer system when selecting a resolution, and select the lowest

possible resolution that produces acceptable quality to keep file sizes manageable.

• If you selected Standard-Vivid (Windows) or Normal-Vivid (Mac) as the quality setting in the printer

software, try selecting Standard (Windows) or Normal (Mac) instead.

• Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if

necessary.

• The ink cartridges may be old or low on ink, and you may need to replace them.

• After you print, the colors in your printout need time to set as the ink dries. During this time, the colors

may look different than you expect. To speed up drying time, do not stack your printouts on top of each

other.

• Your printed colors can never exactly match your on-screen colors. However, you can use a color

management system to get as close as possible. Try using the color management options in your

printer software.

• For best results, use genuine Epson paper.

Cannot Send or Receive Faxes

If you cannot send or receive faxes, try these solutions:

• If you are faxing from a computer, use the Epson FAX Utility to send your fax.

• Make sure the recipient's fax machine is turned on and working.

• Make sure paper is loaded correctly in your product.

• Make sure you have set up your header information and have not blocked your caller ID. Otherwise,

your faxes might be rejected by the recipient's fax machine.

• Make sure Receive Mode is set to Auto so you can receive faxes automatically.

• Check that the cable connecting your telephone wall jack to your product's LINE port is secure.

• Print a fax connection report using your product control panel or fax software to help diagnose the

problem.

• Verify that the telephone wall jack works by connecting a phone to it and testing it.

• If there is no dial tone and you connected the product to a PBX (Private Branch Exchange) phone line

or Terminal Adapter, change the Line Type setting to PBX. If you still cannot send a fax, turn off the

265

product's dial tone detection setting. (Turning off the dial tone setting may cause the product to drop

the first digit of a fax number.)

• If you connected your product to a DSL phone line, you must connect a DSL filter to the phone jack to

enable faxing over the line. Contact your DSL provider for the necessary filter.

• Make sure you installed the FAX driver for your product and that it is not paused.

• Try lowering your product's fax speed setting.

• Make sure the error correction mode (ECM) setting is turned on if you are trying to send or receive a

color fax.

• If your telephone line uses call waiting and you have trouble receiving faxes, turn off call waiting to

prevent disruption of incoming faxes.

• If you have subscribed to a call forwarding service, the product may not be able to receive faxes.

Contact your service provider for assistance.

Note: If your product is connected to a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone line, keep in mind that

fax machines are designed to work over analog phone lines. Epson cannot guarantee that fax

transmission will work when using VoIP.

If your phone line includes voice mail answering services, calls or faxes may be inadvertently received

by your voice mail service.

Fax Memory Full Error Appears

If you see an error message telling you that the product's fax memory is full, try these solutions:

• If you set the product to save received faxes in the product's memory or inbox, delete any faxes you

have already read.

Note: Your product can store up to 100 faxes before its inbox is full.

• If you set the product to save received faxes on a computer, turn on the selected computer. Once the

faxes are saved on the computer, they are deleted from the product's memory.

• If the memory is full, try the following:

• Send a monochrome fax using the direct sending feature

• Send your faxes in smaller batches

• If the product cannot print a received fax due to a product error, such as a paper jam, the memory full

error may appear. Clear any product errors, then ask the sender to resend the fax.

Note: This printer is designed for use with Epson cartridges only, not third-party cartridges or ink. Other

brands of ink supplies are not compatible and, if described as compatible, may not function properly or

continuously. Such restrictions can be avoided with some other printers such as Epson EcoTank

cartridge-free printers.

The included initial cartridges are designed for reliable printer setup and cannot be used as replacement

cartridges or resold. After setup, the remaining ink is available for printing. Yields are based on ISO

24711 in default mode, printing continuously. Yields vary due to print images, settings, and

temperatures. Printing infrequently or primarily with one color reduces yields. All cartridges must be

installed with ink for printing and printer maintenance. For print quality, some ink remains in replaced

cartridges.

• Avoid plugging the product into an outlet on the same circuit as a photo copier or air control system

that regularly switches on and off, or on an outlet controlled by a wall switch or timer.

283

• Do not let the power cord become damaged or frayed. Place it to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying,

crimping, and kinking. Do not place objects on top of it and do not allow it to be stepped on or run over.

Be careful to keep the cord straight at each end.

• If you use an extension cord with the product, make sure the total ampere rating of the devices

plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord's ampere rating. Also, make sure the total

ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet's ampere

rating.

• Always turn off the product using the power button, and wait until the power light stops flashing before

unplugging the product or cutting off power to the electrical outlet.

• If you will not be using the product for a long period, unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

• Place the product on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond its base in all directions. It will not

operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle.

• Allow space behind the product for the cables, and space above the product so that you can fully raise

the document cover.

• Leave enough space in front of the product for the paper to be fully ejected.

• Avoid locations that are subject to rapid changes in heat or humidity, shocks or vibrations, or dust.

• Do not place or store the product outdoors.

• Do not place the product near excessive heat sources or in direct sunlight.

• Leave enough room around the product for sufficient ventilation. Do not block or cover openings in the

case or insert objects through the slots.

• Keep the product away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers

or the base units of cordless telephones.

• Keep your product at least 8.7 inches (22 cm) away from cardiac pacemakers to prevent your

product's radio waves from affecting the operation of the pacemaker.

• 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.

• Do not touch the flat white cable inside the product.

or the case damaged; if the product does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in

performance. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions.

• Leave the ink cartridges installed. Removing the cartridges can dehydrate the print head and may

prevent the product from printing.

• Before transporting the product, make sure that the print head is in the home (far right) position and

the ink cartridges are in place.

• When storing or transporting the product, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it upside down;

otherwise, ink may leak.

Parent topic: Important Safety Instructions

Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions

• Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.

• Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges; there may be ink remaining around the ink supply

port. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them

immediately with water.

• Do not put your hand inside the product or touch any cartridges during printing.

• Install a new ink cartridge immediately after removing an expended one. Leaving cartridges

uninstalled can dry out the print head and may prevent the product from printing.

• Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this can cause leakage.

• Do not remove the transparent seal from the bottom of the cartridge. This may cause the cartridge to

become unusable.

• Do not break the hooks on the side of the cartridge when removing it from the packaging.

• Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. This may prevent normal operation.

285

• Do not shake cartridges after opening their packages; this can cause them to leak.

• If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust and store it in

the same environment as the product. Note that there is a valve in the ink supply port, making covers

or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent the ink from staining items that the cartridge

touches. Do not touch the ink cartridge ink supply port or surrounding area.

• Use an ink cartridge before the date printed on its package.

• Do not dismantle an ink cartridge. This could damage the print head.

• Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place.

• After 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.

• Store ink cartridges with their bottoms down. Do not store cartridges upside down.

A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must

comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant

telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line.

Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming

call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number

of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone

company. For products approved after July 23, 2001 , the REN for this product is part of the product

identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a

decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in

advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical,

the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your

right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.

The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that

could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone company will provide advance

notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

According to the FCC's electrical safety advisory, we recommend that you may install an AC surge

arrester in the AC outlet to which this equipment is connected. Telephone companies report that

electrical surges, typically lightning transients, are very destructive to customer terminal equipment

connected to AC power sources and that this is a major nationwide problem.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant

to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful

interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio

frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful

interference to radio or television reception. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not

occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio and television

reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to

correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Binding Arbitration and Class Waiver

1. DISPUTES, BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND

CLASS ARBITRATIONS

1.1 Disputes. The terms of this Section 1 shall apply to all Disputes between you and Epson. The term

"Dispute" is meant to have the broadest meaning permissible under law and includes any dispute, claim,

controversy or action between you and Epson arising out of or relating to this Agreement, Epson

branded products (hardware and including any related software), or other transaction involving you and

Epson, whether in contract, warranty, misrepresentation, fraud, tort, intentional tort, statute, regulation,

ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis. "DISPUTE" DOES NOT INCLUDE IP CLAIMS, or more

specifically, a claim or cause of action for (a) trademark infringement or dilution, (b) patent infringement,

also agree, notwithstanding Section 1.6,that a court, not an arbitrator, may decide if a claim or cause of

action is for an IP Claim.

1.2 Binding Arbitration. You and Epson agree that all Disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration

according to this Agreement. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JUDGE

OR JURY IN A COURT PROCEEDING AND YOUR GROUNDS FOR APPEAL ARE LIMITED.

Pursuant to this Agreement, binding arbitration shall be administered by JAMS, a nationally recognized

arbitration authority, pursuant to its code of procedures then in effect for consumer related disputes, but

excluding any rules that permit joinder or class actions in arbitration (for more detail on procedure, see

Section 1.6 below). You and Epson understand and agree that (a) the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C.

§1, et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 1, (b) this Agreement

290

memorializes a transaction in interstate commerce, and (c) this Section 1 shall survive termination of this

Agreement.

1.3 Pre-Arbitration Steps and Notice. Before submitting a claim for arbitration, you and Epson agree to

try, for sixty (60) days, to resolve any Dispute informally. If Epson and you do not reach an agreement to

resolve the Dispute within the sixty (60) days), you or Epson may commence an arbitration. Notice to

Epson must be addressed to: Epson America, Inc., ATTN: Legal Department, 3840 Kilroy Airport Way,

Long Beach, CA 90806 (the "Epson Address"). The Dispute Notice to you will be sent to the most recent

address Epson has in its records for you. For this reason, it is important to notify us if your address

changes by emailing us at EAILegal@ea.epson.com or writing us at the Epson Address above. Notice of

the Dispute shall include the sender's name, address and contact information, the facts giving rise to the

Dispute, and the relief requested (the "Dispute Notice"). Following receipt of the Dispute Notice, Epson

and you agree to act in good faith to resolve the Dispute before commencing arbitration.

1.4 Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring an individual action in the small

claims court of your state or municipality if the action is within that court's jurisdiction and is pending only

in that court.

1.5 WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS. YOU AND EPSON AGREE THAT

EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL

CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR

REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FEDERAL OR STATE

CLASS ACTIONS, OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS. CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS, CLASS-WIDE

ARBITRATIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY-GENERAL ACTIONS, AND ANY OTHER PROCEEDING

WHERE SOMEONE ACTS IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ARE NOT ALLOWED.

ACCORDINGLY, UNDER THE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THIS SECTION, AN

ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT COMBINE OR CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PARTY'S CLAIMS

WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED PARTIES TO AN ARBITRATION

PROCEEDING.

1.6 Arbitration Procedure. If you or Epson commences arbitration, the arbitration shall be governed by

the rules of JAMS that are in effect when the arbitration is filed, excluding any rules that permit arbitration

on a class or representative basis (the "JAMS Rules"), available at http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling

1-800-352-5267, and under the rules set forth in this Agreement. All Disputes shall be resolved by a

single neutral arbitrator, and both parties shall have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the

selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. The arbitrator, and not

any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising

out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement,

including any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. Notwithstanding this broad

delegation of authority to the arbitrator, a court may determine the limited question of whether a claim or

cause of action is for an IP Claim, which is excluded from the definition of "Disputes" in Section 1.1

above. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under

law or in equity. The arbitrator may award you the same damages as a court could, and may award

291

declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent

necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. In some instances, the costs of

arbitration can exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration

than in court. The arbitrator's award is binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of

competent jurisdiction.

You may choose to engage in arbitration hearings by telephone. Arbitration hearings not conducted by

telephone shall take place in a location reasonably accessible from your primary residence, or in Orange

County, California, at your option.

a) Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding. If either you or Epson decides to arbitrate a Dispute, both parties

agree to the following procedure:

(i) Write a Demand for Arbitration. The demand must include a description of the Dispute and the amount

of damages sought to be recovered. You can find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at

http://www.jamsadr.com ("Demand for Arbitration").

(ii) Send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to: JAMS, 500 North

State College Blvd., Suite 600 Orange, CA 92868, U.S.A.

(iii) Send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to the other party (same address as the Dispute

Notice), or as otherwise agreed by the parties.

b) Hearing Format. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made shall not be disclosed

to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Epson is entitled.

The discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute may be allowed during

the arbitration.

c) Arbitration Fees. Epson shall pay, or (if applicable) reimburse you for, all JAMS filings and arbitrator

fees for any arbitration commenced (by you or Epson) pursuant to provisions of this Agreement.

d) Award in Your Favor. For Disputes in which you or Epson seeks $75,000 or less in damages exclusive

of attorney's fees and costs, if the arbitrator's decision results in an award to you in an amount greater

than Epson's last written offer, if any, to settle the Dispute, Epson will: (i) pay you $1,000 or the amount

of the award, whichever is greater; (ii) pay you twice the amount of your reasonable attorney's fees, if

any; and (iii) reimburse you for any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that your attorney

reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing the Dispute in arbitration. Except as

agreed upon by you and Epson in writing, the arbitrator shall determine the amount of fees, costs, and

expenses to be paid by Epson pursuant to this Section 1.6d).

e) Attorney's Fees. Epson will not seek its attorney's fees and expenses for any arbitration commenced

involving a Dispute under this Agreement. Your right to attorney's fees and expenses under Section

1.6d) above does not limit your rights to attorney's fees and expenses under applicable law;

notwithstanding the foregoing, the arbitrator may not award duplicative awards of attorney's fees and

expenses.

292

1.7 Opt-out. You may elect to opt-out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding, individual

arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this

Agreement by sending a written letter to the Epson Address within thirty (30) days of your assent

to this Agreement (including without limitation the purchase, download, installation of the

Software or other applicable use of Epson Hardware, products and services) that specifies (i)

your name, (ii) your mailing address, and (iii) your request to be excluded from the final, binding

individual arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in

this Section 1. In the event that you opt-out consistent with the procedure set forth above, all

other terms shall continue to apply, including the requirement to provide notice prior to litigation.

1.8 Amendments to Section 1. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, you

and Epson agree that if Epson makes any future amendments to the dispute resolution procedure and

class action waiver provisions (other than a change to Epson's address) in this Agreement, Epson will

obtain your affirmative assent to the applicable amendment. If you do not affirmatively assent to the

applicable amendment, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between the parties in

accordance with the language of this Section 1 (or resolve disputes as provided for in Section 1.7, if you

timely elected to opt-out when you first assented to this Agreement).

1.9 Severability. If any provision in this Section 1 is found to be unenforceable, that provision shall be

severed with the remainder of this Agreement remaining in full force and effect. The foregoing shall not

apply to the prohibition against class or representative actions as provided in Section 1.5. This

means that if Section 1.5 is found to be unenforceable, the entire Section 1 (but only Section 1)

shall be null and void.
