Important Safety Instructions
Use only the power cord that
comes with the printer. Use of
another cord may cause fire or
shock. Do not use the cord with
any other equipment.
Make sure the power cord
meets all relevant local safety
standards.
Place the printer near a wall
outlet where the power cord
can be easily unplugged.
Use only the type of power
source indicated on the label.
Do not let the power cord
become damaged or frayed.
Do not open the scanner unit
while copying, printing, or
scanning.
Do not use aerosol products
that contain flammable gases
inside or around the printer.
Doing so may cause fire.
Except as specifically explained
in your documentation, do not
attempt to service the printer
yourself.
Keep ink cartridges out of the
reach of children and do not
drink the ink.
If ink gets on your skin, wash
it off with soap and water. If it
gets in your eyes, flush them
immediately with water. If
you still have discomfort or
vision problems, see a doctor
immediately.
Do not shake ink cartridges
after opening their packages;
this can cause leakage.
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 printer. Do
not touch the ink supply port
or surrounding area.

Ink Cartridge Handling Precautions
O Never move the print head by hand.
O Some ink is consumed from all cartridges during
the following operations: print head cleaning and
ink charging when an ink cartridge is installed.
O For maximum ink efficiency, only remove an ink
cartridge when you are ready to replace it. Ink
cartridges with low ink status may not be used
when reinserted.
O Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson ink
cartridges. Epson cannot guarantee the quality
or reliability of non-genuine ink. The use of
non-genuine ink may cause damage that is not
covered by Epson’s warranties, and under certain
circumstances, may cause erratic printer behavior.
Information about non-genuine ink levels may
not be displayed, and use of non-genuine ink is
recorded for possible use in service support.
O Make sure you have a new ink cartridge before
you begin replacement. Once you start replacing
a cartridge, you must complete all the steps in one
session.
O Leave the expended cartridge installed until you
have obtained a replacement. Otherwise the ink
remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.
O Do not open the ink cartridge package until you
are ready to install it in the printer. The cartridge is
vacuum packed to maintain its reliability.
O Other products not manufactured by Epson may
cause damage that is not covered by Epson’s
warranties, and under certain circumstances, may
cause erratic printer behavior.
O Do not turn off the printer during ink charging as
this will waste ink.
O When an ink cartridge is expended, you cannot
continue printing even if the other cartridges still
contain ink.
