ASCII American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A standardized coding system for assigning numerical codes to letters and symbols. banding The horizontal lines that sometimes appear when printing graphics. This occurs when the print heads are misaligned. See also MicroWeave.
cpi See characters per inch. default A value or setting that takes effect when the equipment is turned on, reset, or initialized. DMA Direct Memory Access. A data transfer feature that by-passes a computer’s CPU and allows direct communication between the computer’s memory and peripheral devices (such as printers). dot matrix A method of printing in which each letter or symbol is formed by a pattern (matrix) of individual dots. dpi Dots per inch. The dpi measures the resolution. See also resolution.
ESC/P Raster A command language that gives you control of your printer from your computer. Commands in this language produce laser-like features, such as enhanced graphics printing. font A style of type designated by a family name. grayscale A scale of shades of gray from black to white. Grayscale is used to represent colors when printing with black ink only. halftones Patterns of black or colored dots used to reproduce an image. halftoning Method of using dot patterns to represent an image.

Product Information Safety Instructions Important Safety Instructions Read all of these instructions before using your printer. Also be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the printer. ❏ Do not block or cover the openings in the printer’s cabinet. ❏ Do not insert objects through the slots. Take care not to spill liquid on the printer. ❏ Use only the type of power source indicated on the printer’s label. ❏ Connect all equipment to properly grounded power outlets.
❏ If you use an extension cord with the printer, 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. ❏ Do not attempt to service the printer yourself.
❏ Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Also keep it away from direct sunlight, strong light, or heat sources. ❏ Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations. ❏ Keep the printer away from the dusty areas. ❏ Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged. ENERGY STAR® Compliance As an International ENERGY STAR Partner, EPSON has determined that this product meets the International ENERGY STAR Program guidelines for energy efficiency.
❏ Always turn the printer off using the Power button on the control panel. When this button is pressed, the Operate light flashes briefly then goes off. Do not unplug the printer or turn off the power to the outlet until the Operate light stops flashing. ❏ Before transporting the printer, make sure the print heads are in the home (far right) position. When handling the ink cartridges ❏ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink.
❏ If you use EPSON UltraChrome type ink cartridges, use up the ink cartridge within six months of installation for best results. ❏ Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them. This could damage the print heads. ❏ 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. ❏ Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge.

Paper Handling Notes for Special Media and Other Media Although most types of coated paper will provide good printing results, printout quality varies depending on the paper quality and the manufacturer. Test the printout quality before purchasing large amounts of paper. c Caution: Keep fingers off the printable surface of the media, as fingerprints may reduce printout quality. Whenever possible, use gloves to handle media.
Storing EPSON special media ❏ Store unused media in the original plastic bag and outer package so as to avoid moisture problems. ❏ Avoid storing the media in places exposed to high temperature, humidity, or direct sunlight. Using paper other than EPSON special media When you use paper other than EPSON special media, or print using the RIP (Raster Images Processor), see the instructions included with the paper or RIP system, or contact your supplier for more information.

Setting the Paper Basket To avoid your printouts getting dirty or crinkled, set the paper basket as explained below. You can use the paper basket for both roll paper and cut sheet media. Note: When you print on thick paper, set the paper basket forward to avoid your printouts becoming damaged. See “When feeding paper forward” following. When feeding paper backward (up to B1 size; landscape) c Caution: Always load B1 (728 × 1030 mm) size thick paper (0.7 to 1.
1. Slide the lower hooks back and pull the upper hooks out to their full length. 2. Hook the basket rings (A) on the upper basket hooks to take up the slack of the paper basket.
When feeding paper backward (up to super B0 size) Note: When feeding roll paper larger than B0 size backward, make sure that your printer has at least 20 cm (7.87 inches) of space to its rear. This prevents the printed paper edges from folding. 1. Make the paper basket setting as shown in “When feeding paper backward (up to B1 size; landscape)”. 2. Unhook the basket rings from the upper hooks, and slacken the paper basket. 3. Pull the lower basket hooks out to their full length.
When feeding paper forward (Roll Paper Banner; thick [0.7 mm and more] cut sheet) 1. Unhook the basket rings from the upper basket hooks. 2. Slide the upper hooks back to their full length. Then fully pull out the lower paper basket hooks as shown, so that they rest on the floor.
Note: Make sure that the paper basket surface is at full tension. If not, the fed paper will not slide down to the floor. 3. Hook the rear side basket rings of the paper basket on the upper basket hooks, and tighten the paper basket.
Maintenance and Transportation Replacing Ink Cartridges The printer’s indicator lights tell you when to obtain a replacement ink cartridge by flashing when ink is low, and when to replace an empty ink cartridge by remaining on when ink is depleted. The LCD panel also displays INK LOW or INK OUT. Note: Even if only one ink cartridge is empty, the printer cannot continue to print. EPSON recommends the use of genuine EPSON ink cartridges.
2. Open the ink compartment cover. 3. Set the ink lever in the up position. 4. Carefully pull the empty cartridge straight out of the printer.
w Warning: If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. 5. Make sure the replacement ink cartridge is the correct color, and remove it from the package. c Caution: Do not shake cartridges that have been installed previously. Doing so may cause ink to leak out. Note: ❏ If you are using EPSON UltraChrome type ink cartridges, shake the ink cartridge gently before installing it for best results.
6. Hold the ink cartridge with the arrow on the left side and pointing to the rear of the printer, and insert it into the slot. Do not force the cartridge in further by hand. Note: If the Ink Out light remains on, the ink cartridge may not be installed correctly. Remove the ink cartridge and then reinsert it as described above. 7. Set the ink lever in the down position. 8. Close the ink compartment cover. The printer returns to the previous status.
Replacing Black Ink Cartridges If your printer uses EPSON UltraChrome ink, you can replace Photo Black (Photo) or Light Black (LBK) ink with Matte Black (MAT) using draining cartridge shown below. See the explanation below to replace black ink cartridges. c Caution: Do not turn the printer off before you finish this replacing operation. Note: If an electrical power failure occurs during this operation, turn the printer on again. You can continue your procedure at the breakpoint.
Note: Make sure that READY is displayed on the LCD panel. 1 There is enough ink in the cartridge. 2 The ink will be empty soon. You had better buy (a) new cartridge(s). 3 There is not enough ink in the cartridge. Replace the cartridge. See your “Replacing Ink Cartridges” for replacing the ink cartridges. Note: This operation consumes ink in addition to the cartridges that are to be replaced. Therefore, an Ink end error may occur after the operation.
Selecting a set of ink cartridges Follow the steps below to select a set of ink cartridges. 1. Make sure that READY is displayed on the LCD panel. 2. Press the SelecType button (r) and confirm that PRINTER SETUP is displayed on the LCD panel. 3. Press the Paper Feed button (d) or Paper Feed button (u) to select MAINTENANCE. 4.
