O To prevent the accumulation of dust and other
foreign matter in the printer, close all covers before
placing it in storage.
If the printer will be not be used for an extended
period, protect it with an anti-static cloth or other
cover.
The print head nozzles are very small, and they can
become clogged easily if fine dust gets on the print
head, and you may not be able to print properly.
O When turned on after an extended period of
disuse, the printer may automatically perform
head cleaning to ensure print quality.
Head cleaning will end after about 10 to 15
minutes.
Notes on handling ink cartridges
Note the following points when handling ink
cartridges to maintain good print quality.
O The supplied ink cartridges and Ink Maintenance
Tank are for use during the initial charging. The
supplied ink cartridges and Ink Maintenance Tank
will be require replacement relatively quickly.
O We recommend that ink cartridges be stored at
room temperature out of direct sunlight and used
before the expiry date printed on the packaging.
O To ensure good results, use all the ink in the
cartridge within a year of installation.
O Ink cartridges that have been stored at low
temperatures for an extended period should be
allowed to return to room temperature over a
period of four hours.
O Do not touch the IC chips on the tops of the ink
cartridges. You may not be able to print properly.
O Install all ink cartridges into each slot. You cannot
print if any of the slots are empty.
O Do not leave the printer without ink cartridges
installed. The ink in the printer may dry,
preventing it from printing as expected. Leave ink
cartridges in all slots even while you do not use the
printer.
O The ink level and other data are stored in the IC
chip, allowing cartridges to be used after being
removed and replaced.
O To avoid getting dirt on the ink supply port, store
the removed ink cartridge properly. The ink
supply port has a valve in it so it does not need to
be capped.
O 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.
O To maintain the quality of the print head, this
printer stops printing before ink cartridges are
completely expended.
O Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled
materials, this does not affect printer function or
performance.
O Do not dismantle or remodel ink cartridges. You
may not be able to print properly.
O Do not drop or knock ink cartridges against hard
objects; otherwise, the ink may leak.
Notes on handling paper
Note the following points when handling and storing
the paper. If the paper is not in good condition, print
quality may decline.
Check the documentation supplied with each paper.
Notes on handling
O Use Epson special media under normal room
conditions (temperature: 59 to 77°F (15 to 25°C),
humidity: 40 to 60%).
O Do not fold the paper or scratch the surface of the
paper.
O Avoid touching the printable surface of the paper
with your bare hands. Moisture and oils from your
hands can affect print quality.
Note:
If the print head is not capped, turn the printer on, and
then turn it off.
