O Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them. This could damage the print
head.
O Do not touch the IC chip on the side of the cartridge. This may affect normal operation
and printing.
O The IC chip on this ink cartridge retains a variety of cartridge-related information, such
as the ink cartridge status, so that the cartridge may be removed and reinserted freely.
However, each time the cartridge is inserted, some ink is consumed because the printer
automatically performs a reliability check.
O 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 this 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 supply port
or surrounding area.

detailed drawings.
Pigmented inks are used for all colors for unsurpassed water resistance, allowing print
results to be safely carried out-of-doors.
The printer driver offers a line drawing mode, making it easier to optimize printing for line
drawing and, through unsurpassed reproduction of line drawing and fine lines in the form
of connected lines, diagonals, and curves, ensuring the best possible results when the
printer is used for drawings.
Vivid, highly lightfast posters and displays
Our new magenta ink makes red colors more vibrant and even more noticeable on posters.
The printer driver offers a poster mode that simplifies the printing of vivid posters. Posters
with vivid hues can be printed simply by selecting poster mode.
Thanks to the pigmented inks used for all colors, the results are highly water-resistant and
can be used for short-term outdoor display. They are also extremely lightfast and
fade-resistant and can be safely displayed in direct sunlight.
Ea se -of-Use
Spindle-free roll paper adapter makes loading roll paper a snap
The lack of a spindle makes it possible to load and remove roll paper even in environments
where space is at a premium.
To load roll paper, simply place it on the roll rest and attach roll paper adapters to both
ends. The roll rest is low, making it easy to load paper.
See “Loading Roll Paper” on page 32.
Introduction 21
Easy maintenance
Roll paper and all replacements, including ink cartridges, Maintenance Boxes, and cutters,
are installed from the front, allowing the printer to be placed against a wall. The printer does
not have to be moved to allow rear access.
Choose from three sizes of cartridge according to the task
Choose from 110, 350, and 700 ml cartridges according to the frequency with which the
printer is used. Use cost-effective 700 ml cartridges for high-volume poster printing or mix
different size cartridges to best fit your printing needs.
New printer driver offers improved ease-of-use
Print settings can be optimized simply by choosing the desired use or target. This spares
you the trouble of adjusting print settings individually.
On startup, the printer driver automatically checks the status of the paper loaded in the
printer and displays it in the Media Settings dialog, preventing errors caused by failure to
check paper status before printing.
The printer driver displays printer settings graphically, reducing errors caused by
inappropriate choices of settings.

Introduction 23
Note s whe n using the p rinte r
Note the following points when using this printer to avoid breakdowns, malfunctions, and
print quality decline.
O When using the printer, observe the operating temperature and humidity range
described in the "Specifications Table". See “Specifications Table” on page 235.
Even when the conditions above are met, you may not be able to print properly if the
environmental conditions are not suitable for the paper. Be sure to use the printer in an
environment where the paper’s requirements are met. For more details, see the
documentation supplied with the paper.
Also, when operating in dry areas, air conditioned environment, or under direct sunlight,
maintain the appropriate humidity.
O Do not install the printer next to heat sources or directly in the path of air from a
ventilator or air conditioner. Failure to observe this precaution could result in the print
head nozzles drying and clogging.
O The print head may not be capped (i.e., may not move to the right side) if an error
occurs and the printer is turned off without first resolving the error. Capping is a function
for automatically covering the print head with a cap (lid) to prevent the print head from
drying out. In this case, turn on the power and wait a while until capping is performed
automatically.
O When the power is on, do not remove the power plug or cut the power at the breaker.
The print head may not be capped properly. In this case, turn on the power and wait a
while until capping is performed automatically.
O Even when the printer is not in use, some ink will be consumed by head cleaning and
other maintenance operations needed to keep the print head in good condition.
Note s whe n not using the p rinte r
If you are not using it, note the following points when storing the printer. If it is not stored
correctly, you may not be able to print properly the next time it is used.
O If you do not print for a long time, the print head nozzles may become clogged. We
recommend that you print once a week to prevent the print head from clogging.
O The roller may leave an impression on paper that is left in the printer. This can also
cause wavy or curled paper resulting in paper feeding problems or the print head could
be scratched. Remove any paper when the printer is not in use.
Introduction 24
O Store the printer after confirming that the print head has been capped (the print head is
positioned at the far right). If the print head is left uncapped for a long time, the print
quality may decline.
Note:
If the print head is not capped, turn the printer on, and then turn it off.
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.
Note s on ha nd ling ink c a rtrid g e s
Note the following points when handling ink cartridges to maintain good print quality.
O The supplied ink cartridges and Maintenance Box are for use during the initial charging.
The supplied ink cartridges and Maintenance Box will be require replacement relatively
quickly.
O Store the ink cartridges at room temperature out of direct sunlight and used before the
expiration 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 sides of 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.
Introduction 25
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 it against hard objects; otherwise, the ink may leak.
Note s on ha nd ling p a p e r
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.
Note s on Ha nd ling
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.
O Handle paper by the edges. We recommend wearing cotton gloves.
O Changes in temperature and humidity may cause paper to become wavy or curled. Be
careful not to scratch or soil the paper, and flatten it before loading it in the printer.
O Do not wet the paper.
O Do not throw away the paper packaging as you can use it for storing the paper.
O Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight, excessive heat, or humidity.
Introduction 26
O Keep cut sheets in their original package after opening, and keep them in a flat place.
O Remove roll paper that is not in use from the printer. Rewind it correctly and then store
it in the original packaging that came with the roll paper. If you leave the roll paper in the
printer for a long time, its quality may decline.
Note s on ha nd ling p rinte d p a p e r
To maintain long lasting, high quality print results, note the following points.
O Do not rub or scratch the printed surface. If they are rubbed or scratched, the ink may
peel off.
O Do not touch the printed surface; failure to observe this precaution may cause ink to rub
off.
O Make sure the printouts are completely dry before folding of stacking; otherwise, the
color may change where they touch (leaves a mark). These marks will disappear if they
are separated immediately and dried; however, they will remain if not separated.
O If you put the printouts in an album before they are completely dry, they may be blurred.
O Do not use a dryer to dry the printouts.
O Avoid direct sunlight.
O Prevent color distortion while displaying or storing the printouts by following the
instructions in the paper’s documentation.
Note:
Typically, printouts and photos fade over time (color distortion) due to the effects of light and
various constituents in the air. This also applies to Epson special media. However, with the
correct storage method, the degree of color distortion can be minimized.
O See the documentation supplied with Epson special media for detailed information on
handling the paper after printing.
O The colors of photos, posters, and other printed materials appear different under different
lighting conditions (light sources*). The colors of printouts from this printer may also appear
different under different light sources.
* Light sources include sunlight, fluorescent light, incandescent light, and other types.

O From LFP HDD Utility (Windows only)
The LFP HDD Utility can be used to manage print jobs stored on a hard disk unit
connected to the printer. It is used when the printer is connected to the computer via
USB and can be downloaded from the Epson website (http://www.epson.com/support).
Using the Optional Hard Disk Unit 87
Hard Disk Unit Functions
When an optional hard disk unit is installed, print jobs can be viewed and managed as
described below.
O Viewing Print Jobs
When there are multiple print jobs with some in the queue, the following information can
be displayed.
O Print start time
O Estimated print time
O Other information, including whether the job can be printed without replacing
consumables
Print jobs can be selected and cancelled in Remote Manager or the LFP HDD Utility.
O Viewing and Resuming Held Print Jobs
If the source selected with the printer differs from the source specified in the print job,
an error will occur and printing will be suspended.
When an error occurs, printing cannot be restarted until the printer has been readied by,
for example, replacing the paper.
When an optional hard disk unit is installed, the following types of print job can be held
temporarily.
O Print jobs that specify sources that differ from that selected with the printer
O Print jobs that specify paper types that differ from that selected with the printer
O Print jobs that specify output paper sizes (widths) that differ from that selected with
the printer
After printing all the jobs that can be printed with the current paper, you can replace the
paper with the media specified in the held print jobs and resume printing, making your
work more efficient.
Individual jobs can be selected and resumed or cancelled in Remote Manager or the
LFP HDD Utility.
Note:
Held print jobs can be saved if On is selected for Store Held Job in the control panel
Setup menu. The factory default setting is Off.
See “Setup menu” on page 175.
Using the Optional Hard Disk Unit 88
O Viewing and Printing Stored Jobs
Print jobs can be stored on the hard disk unit and printed at a later date.
Print jobs selected for printing at a later date can be printed directly from the hard disk
unit without increasing the load on your computer.
Print jobs are saved using the printer driver. See “Saving Print Jobs to the Hard Disk
Unit” on page 89.
Note:
Enlarged copy print jobs created with a scanner attached to the printer cannot be
saved to the hard disk unit.
Jobs printed from the following applications are always saved to the hard disk unit.
O LFP Print Plug-In for Office

Bord e rle ss Printing
You can print your data without margins on the paper.
The types of borderless printing you can choose vary as shown below depending on the
media type.
Roll Paper: No margins for all edges, no margins for the left and right
Cut Sheets: No margins for the left and right only
(Borderless printing is not available with poster board.)
When printing borderless for all edges you can also configure the cutting operation. See
“About Roll Paper Cutting” on page 108.

Color Ma na g e m e nt Printing
Ab out Color Ma na g e m e nt
Even when using the same image data, the original image and the displayed image may
look different, and the printed results may look different from the image you see on the
display. This occurs due to the difference in characteristics when input devices such as
scanners and digital cameras capture colors as electronic data, and when output devices
such as display screens and printers reproduce colors from the color data. The color
management system is a means to adjust differences in color conversion characteristics
among input and output devices. As well as applications for image processing, each
operating system is equipped with a color management system, such as ICM for Windows
and ColorSync for Mac OS X.
In a color management system, a color definition file called a "Profile" is used to perform
color matching between devices. (This file is also called an ICC profile.) The profile of an
input device is called an input profile (or source profile), and of an output device, such as a
printer, is called a printer profile (or output profile). A profile is prepared for each media type
in this printer’s driver.
The color conversion areas by the input device and the color reproduction area by the
output device differ. As a result, there are color areas that do not match even when
performing color matching using a profile. In addition to specifying profiles, the color
management system also specifies conversion conditions for areas where color matching
failed as "intent". The name and type of intent vary depending on the color management
system you are using.
You cannot match the colors on the printed results and display by color management
between the input device and the printer. To match both colors, you need to perform color
management between the input device and the display as well.
Color Management Printing 135
Color Ma na g e m e nt Print Se tting s
You can perform color management printing using this printer’s printer driver in the
following two ways.
Choose the best method according to the application you are using, the operating system
environment, the aim of the printout and so on.
Se tting c olor m a na g e m e nt with the a p p lic a tions
This method is for printing from applications that support color management. All color
management processes are carried out by the application’s color management system.
This method is useful when you want to obtain the same color management print results
using a common application among different operating system environments. See “Setting
Color Management with the Applications” on page 138.
Se tting c olor m a na g e m e nt with the p rinte r d rive r
The printer driver uses the operating system’s color management system and carries out
all color management processes. You can make color management settings in the printer
driver using the following two methods.
O Host ICM (Windows)/ColorSync (Mac OS X)
Set when printing from applications that support color management. This is effective in
producing similar print results from different applications under the same operating
systems. For Windows, see “Color management printing by Host ICM (Windows)” on
page 140. For Mac OS X, see “Color management printing by ColorSync (Mac OS X)”
on page 142.
O Driver ICM (Windows only)
This allows you to perform color management printing from applications that do not
support color management. See “Color management printing by Driver ICM (Windows
only)” on page 143.
Color Management Printing 136
Se tting p rofile s
Settings for the input profile, printer profile, and intent (matching method) vary between
three types of color management printing since their color management engines are used
differently. This is because color management usage differs between the engines. Make
settings in the printer driver or application as described in the following table.

Ad justing the Print He a d
You need to adjust the print head if white lines appear in your printouts or if you notice the
print quality has declined. You can perform the following printer maintenance functions for
maintaining the print head in good condition to ensure the best print quality.
Carry out appropriate maintenance depending on the print results and situation.
Checking for clogged nozzles
Perform a nozzle check to check for clogs if the printer has not been used for an extended
period or before important print jobs. Visually inspect the printed check pattern and clean
the print head if you notice faint or missing areas.
Cleaning the print head
Clean the print head if you notice faint or missing areas in printed documents. Cleans the
surface of the print head to improve the print quality. Choose normal or power cleaning
according to the level of cleaning required.
See “Cleaning the print head” on page 187.
Normal cleaning is recommended in most circumstances. Use power cleaning if the
nozzles remain clogged after normal cleaning has been performed several times.
Adjusting the print head position (Print head alignment)
Perform Head Alignment if lines are misaligned or print results are grainy. The Head
Alignment function corrects print misalignments.
See “Minimizing Print Misalignments (Head Alignment)” on page 189.
Che c king for c log g e d nozzle s

Fro m the c o m p ute r
Explanations in this section use the Windows printer driver as an example.
Use Epson Printer Utility 4 for Mac OS X.
See “Epson Printer Utility 4 Functions” on page 161.
1. Make sure that the roll paper or a cut sheet of A4 size or larger is loaded in the printer.
Make sure you set the paper source and media type correctly according to the paper
you use.
2. Click Nozzle Check from the Utility tab in the printer driver’s Properties (or Printing
preferences) screen.
3. Click Print.
The nozzle check pattern is printed.
4. Check the nozzle check pattern.
If there is no problem: click Finish.
If there is a problem: click Clean.
After printing a nozzle check pattern, make sure that the nozzle check pattern printing
is complete before printing your data or cleaning the print head.
Maintenance 185
Fro m the p rinte r
Buttons that are used in the following settings:
1. Make sure that the roll paper or a cut sheet of A4 size or larger is loaded in the printer.
Make sure you set the paper source and media type correctly according to the paper
you use.
2. Confirm that the printer is ready to print. Press the " button.
The Maintenance menu will be displayed.
3. Confirm that Nozzle Check is highlighted and press the OK button.
A confirmation dialog will be displayed.
4. Press the OK button to print a check pattern.
Review the printed check pattern while referring to the following section.
Example of clean nozzles
There are no gaps in the nozzle check pattern.
Example of clogged nozzles
If there are areas missing from the pattern, select Head Cleaning and clean the print
head. See “Cleaning the print head” on page 187.
Maintenance 186
Cle a ning the p rint he a d
Although head cleaning can be performed from the computer or the printer, the cleaning
procedures differ as explained below.
O From the computer
All nozzles are cleaned.
O From the printer
You can clean all nozzles or select for cleaning only those nozzles for which the printed
nozzle check pattern indicates a problem.
Note s on he a d c le a ning
Note the following points when performing head cleaning.
O Clean the print head only if print quality declines; for example, if the printout is blurry or
the color is incorrect or missing. Ink is consumed when head cleaning is performed.
O Cleaning all nozzles consumes some of each color of ink. Even if you are using only
black inks for black and white printing, color inks are also consumed.
O When repeating head cleaning in a short time period, the Maintenance Box may fill up
quickly due to a small amount of ink evaporation in the Maintenance Box. Prepare a
spare Maintenance Box if there is not enough empty space in the box.
O If the nozzles are still clogged after cleaning the print head several times, we
recommend trying power cleaning.
O Power cleaning consumes more ink than normal head cleaning. Check the remaining
ink level in advance, and prepare a new ink cartridge before you start cleaning if the ink
is low.
O If the nozzles are still clogged after performing power cleaning, turn off the printer and
leave it overnight or longer. When left for some time, the clogged ink may dissolve.
If the nozzles are still clogged, contact your dealer or Epson Support.

Minim izing Print Misa lig nm e nts (He a d Alig nm e nt)
Because there is a small distance between the print head and paper, misalignment may
occur due to humidity or temperature, the inertial force of the print head’s movements, or
by moving the print head bidirectionally. This may result in grainy prints or lines that are
incorrectly placed. When this happens, perform Head Alignment to correct the print
misalignment.
Although Head Alignment can be performed from the computer or the printer, the
alignment procedures differ as explained below.
O From the printer
Head alignment can be performed automatically or manually.
In auto adjustment, the sensor reads the adjustment pattern while it is printing, and
automatically registers the optimum adjustment value to the printer.
Auto head alignment takes about 30 minutes to complete.
In manual adjustment, you need to check the pattern and enter the optimum adjustment
value for alignment. Manual alignment can be used with cut sheets or other paper that
does not support auto alignment or if auto alignment does not fix the problem
completely.
Printing the pattern for manual head alignment takes from 7 to 11 minutes. The time
required varies with the size of the pattern printed.
Maintenance 189
Uni-D and Bi-D head alignment is available in both auto and manual modes. Bi-D is
recommended in most circumstances. Choose Uni-D if Bi-D head alignment does not
completely fix the problem.
O From the computer
A computer can be used for auto head alignment.
In most cases, head alignment can be performed successfully with just this operation.
We normally recommend this method as this is the simplest method. Auto head
alignment takes about 30 minutes to complete. Manual head alignment can be
performed from the printer’s control panel if you are using cut sheets or other paper that
does not support auto alignment or if auto alignment does to fix the problem completely.
Note:
Head Alignment is adjusted according to the paper currently loaded in the printer. Load the
paper for which head alignment is required.
Note, however, that auto head alignment is not available with the paper or in the circumstances
listed below.
O Transparent or colored media is loaded in the printer.
O The paper loaded in the printer does not support auto head alignment.
See “Epson Special Media Table” on page 224 for information on the types of paper that
support auto head alignment.
O The current paper is more than 1.0 mm thick.
O The printer is exposed to direct sunlight or another light source that causes optical
interference. Block the offending light source.
Head Alignment may also fail to produce the desired results if nozzles are clogged. Perform
head cleaning to clear any clogs before proceeding.
From the computer
Explanations in this section use the Windows printer driver as an example.
Use Epson Printer Utility 4 for Mac OS X.
See “Using Epson Printer Utility 4” on page 161.
1. Load roll paper in the printer.
Choose a paper type that matches the paper in the printer.
2. Click Print Head Alignment from the Utility tab in the printer driver’s Properties (or
Printing preferences) screen.
Maintenance 190
Follow the on-screen instructions to align the print head.
The sensor reads the adjustment pattern while it is printing, and automatically registers

Re p la c ing Consum a b le s
Re p la c ing Ink Ca rtrid g e s
If one of the installed ink cartridges is expended, printing cannot be performed. If an ink low
warning is displayed, we recommend replacing the ink cartridge(s) as soon as possible.
If an ink cartridge runs out while printing, you can continue printing after replacing the ink
cartridge. However, when replacing ink during a print job, you may see a difference in color
depending on the drying conditions.
Supported ink cartridges, see “Options and Consumable Products” on page 222.
How to re p la c e
You can use the same procedure to replace all ink cartridges.
Important:
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.
1. Make sure the printer is on.
2. Open the cartridge cover.
Maintenance 193
3. Hook a finger into the indentation on top of the ink cartridge and pull it straight out.
Important:
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.
4. Remove the new ink cartridge from the bag. Shake the ink cartridge for 10 seconds 30
times horizontally in approximately 5 cm movements as shown in the illustration.
Important:
Do not touch the IC chips on the tops of the ink cartridges. You may not be able to
print properly.
5. Holding the cartridge with the label out, slide it all the way into the slot.
Maintenance 194
Match the color of the ink cartridge to the color of the label on the printer.
Repeat steps 3 to 5 to replace other ink cartridges.
Important:
Install all ink cartridges into each slot. You cannot print if any of the slots are empty.
6. Close the cartridge cover.
Important:
We recommend that you remove and shake the installed ink cartridges once every three months
to ensure print quality.
Re p la c ing Ma inte na nc e Boxe s
If the message Not Enough Space is displayed, replace the specified Maintenance Box.
Supported Maintenance Boxes
See “Options and Consumable Products” on page 222.
Maintenance 195
Important:
Do not reuse maintenance boxes that have been removed and left out in the open for a long
period of time. The pad on the inside will be dry and hard and will be unable to absorb enough
ink.
How to re p la c e
Some printer models have Maintenance Boxes on both the left and right sides, but the
procedure for replacing the boxes is the same in all cases.
Important:
Do not replace Maintenance Box while printing. Waste ink may leak.
1. Open the maintenance box cover.
2. Pull the Maintenance Box out.
Lifting the Maintenance Box up releases the lock, and you can simply pull it straight out.
Maintenance 196
3. Place the used Maintenance Box in the clear bag included with your new Maintenance
Box, and make sure that the zipper is closed tight.
4. Install the new Maintenance Box.
Important:
Do not touch the IC chip on the side of Maintenance Box. Doing so may prevent
normal operation and printing.
5. Close the maintenance box cover.
Re p la c ing the Cutte r
Replace the cutter when it is not cutting paper cleanly.
Supported cutter
See “Options and Consumable Products” on page 222.
Use a cross-head screwdriver to replace the cutter. Make sure you have a cross-head
screwdriver with you before replacing the cutter.
Important:

Cle a ning the Printe r
To keep your printer in optimum operating condition, clean it (about once a month).
Cle a ning the outsid e
1. Remove any paper from the printer.
2. Make sure the printer is turned off and the screen has turned off, and then unplug the
power cable from the electrical outlet.
3. Use a soft, clean cloth to carefully remove any dust or dirt.
If there is a serious dirt problem, clean it using a soft, clean cloth dampened with a mild
detergent. Then wipe off with a dry, soft cloth.
Important:
Never use benzene, thinners, or alcohol to clean the printer. They could cause
discoloration and deformities.
Cle a ning the insid e
Clean the pressure rollers if prints are smudged or soiled.
Ink and particles of paper adhering to the platen should be removed, as they may
otherwise soil the paper.
Important:
Failure to remove dust and particles of paper from the platen could result in clogged nozzles or
damage to the print head.
Cle a ning the rolle r
Follow the steps below to clean the roller by feeding plain paper.
1. Turn on the printer, and load it with widest available roll paper.
See “Loading and Removing the Roll Paper” on page 32.
2. Press the ) button followed by the d button.
Maintenance 201
Paper is fed while the d button is pressed. If the paper is not soiled, cleaning is
complete.
Cut the paper after cleaning is done.
See “Manual cut method” on page 39.
Cle a ning insid e
1. Make sure the printer is turned off and the screen has turned off, and then unplug the
power cable from the electrical outlet.
2. Leave the printer for a minute.
3. Open the printer cover and use a soft, clean cloth to carefully clean away any dust or
dirt inside the printer.
Thoroughly clean area (a), shown in blue in the illustration below. To avoid spreading
the dirt, wipe from the inside to the outside. If there is a serious dirt problem, clean it
using a soft, clean cloth dampened with a mild detergent. Then, wipe the inside of the
printer with a dry, soft cloth.
Important:
O Be sure not to touch the roller or the ink absorbing areas (b, shown in gray) during
cleaning; otherwise, prints may be soiled.
O Be careful not to touch the ink tubes inside the printer, otherwise, the printer may
be damaged.
Maintenance 202
4. If any paper particles (that looks like white powder) accumulates on the platen, use
something like a cocktail stick to push it in.
5. When you have finished cleaning, close the printer cover.

2. Permitted Uses; Conditions & Restrictions. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
License, Apple hereby grants You, effective on the date You accept this License and
download the Original Code, a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license, to the extent
of Apple's Applicable Patent Rights and copyrights covering the Original Code, to do the
following:
2.1 Unmodified Code. You may use, reproduce, display, perform, internally distribute
within Your organization, and Externally Deploy verbatim, unmodified copies of the Original
Code, for commercial or non-commercial purposes, provided that in each instance:
(a) You must retain and reproduce in all copies of Original Code the copyright and other
proprietary notices and disclaimers of Apple as they appear in the Original Code, and keep
intact all notices in the Original Code that refer to this License; and
(b) You must include a copy of this License with every copy of Source Code of Covered
Code and documentation You distribute or Externally Deploy, and You may not offer or
impose any terms on such Source Code that alter or restrict this License or the recipients'
rights hereunder, except as permitted under Section 6.
2.2 Modified Code. You may modify Covered Code and use, reproduce, display, perform,
internally distribute within Your organization, and Externally Deploy Your Modifications and
Covered Code, for commercial or non-commercial purposes, provided that in each
instance You also meet all of these conditions:
(a) You must satisfy all the conditions of Section 2.1 with respect to the Source Code of the
Covered Code;
(b) You must duplicate, to the extent it does not already exist, the notice in Exhibit A in each
file of the Source Code of all Your Modifications, and cause the modified files to carry
prominent notices stating that You changed the files and the date of any change; and

Externally Deployed Modifications either available to those to whom You have Externally
Deployed Your Modifications, or publicly available. Source Code of Your Externally
Deployed Modifications must be released under the terms set forth in this License,
including the license grants set forth in Section 3 below, for as long as you Externally
Deploy the Covered Code or twelve (12) months from the date of initial External
Deployment, whichever is longer. You should preferably distribute the Source Code of
Your Externally Deployed Modifications electronically (e.g. download from a web site).
Software License Terms 245
2.3 Distribution of Executable Versions. In addition, if You Externally Deploy Covered Code
(Original Code and/or Modifications) in object code, executable form only, You must
include a prominent notice, in the code itself as well as in related documentation, stating
that Source Code of the Covered Code is available under the terms of this License with
information on how and where to obtain such Source Code.
2.4 Third Party Rights. You expressly acknowledge and agree that although Apple and
each Contributor grants the licenses to their respective portions of the Covered Code set
forth herein, no assurances are provided by Apple or any Contributor that the Covered
Code does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity.
Apple and each Contributor disclaim any liability to You for claims brought by any other
entity based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to
exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, You hereby assume sole
responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example,
if a third party patent license is required to allow You to distribute the Covered Code, it is
Your responsibility to acquire that license before distributing the Covered Code.
3. Your Grants. In consideration of, and as a condition to, the licenses granted to You
under this License, You hereby grant to any person or entity receiving or distributing
Covered Code under this License a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable
license, under Your Applicable Patent Rights and other intellectual property rights (other
than patent) owned or controlled by You, to use, reproduce, display, perform, modify,
sublicense, distribute and Externally Deploy Your Modifications of the same scope and
extent as Apple's licenses under Sections 2.1 and 2.2 above.
4. Larger Works. You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code with other
code not governed by the terms of this License and distribute the Larger Work as a single
product. In each such instance, You must make sure the requirements of this License are
fulfilled for the Covered Code or any portion thereof.
5. Limitations on Patent License. Except as expressly stated in Section 2, no other patent
rights, express or implied, are granted by Apple herein. Modifications and/or Larger Works
may require additional patent licenses from Apple which Apple may grant in its sole
discretion.
6. Additional Terms. You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
indemnity or liability obligations and/or other rights consistent with the scope of the license
granted herein ("Additional Terms") to one or more recipients of Covered Code. However,
You may do so only on Your own behalf and as Your sole responsibility, and not on behalf
of Apple or any Contributor. You must obtain the recipient's agreement that any such
Additional Terms are offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify, defend
and hold Apple and every Contributor harmless for any liability incurred by or claims
asserted against Apple or such Contributor by reason of any such Additional Terms.
Software License Terms 246
7. Versions of the License. Apple may publish revised and/or new versions of this License
from time to time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number. Once
Original Code has been published under a particular version of this License, You may
continue to use it under the terms of that version. You may also choose to use such
Original Code under the terms of any subsequent version of this License published by
Apple. No one other than Apple has the right to modify the terms applicable to Covered
Code created under this License.
8. NO WARRANTY OR SUPPORT. The Covered Code may contain in whole or in part
pre-release, untested, or not fully tested works. The Covered Code may contain errors that
could cause failures or loss of data, and may be incomplete or contain inaccuracies. You
expressly acknowledge and agree that use of the Covered Code, or any portion thereof, is
at Your sole and entire risk. THE COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND
WITHOUT WARRANTY, UPGRADES OR SUPPORT OF ANY KIND AND APPLE AND
APPLE'S LICENSOR(S) (COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS "APPLE" FOR THE
PURPOSES OF SECTIONS 8 AND 9) AND ALL CONTRIBUTORS EXPRESSLY
DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND/OR
CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OF FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OF ACCURACY, OF QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND
NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. APPLE AND EACH CONTRIBUTOR
DOES NOT WARRANT AGAINST INTERFERENCE WITH YOUR ENJOYMENT OF THE
COVERED CODE, THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE COVERED CODE
WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, THAT THE OPERATION OF THE COVERED
CODE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS IN THE
COVERED CODE WILL BE CORRECTED. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR
ADVICE GIVEN BY APPLE, AN APPLE AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OR ANY
CONTRIBUTOR SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY. You acknowledge that the Covered
Code is not intended for use in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation,
communication systems, or air traffic control machines in which case the failure of the
Covered Code could lead to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental
damage.
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO
EVENT SHALL APPLE OR ANY CONTRIBUTOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL,
SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS LICENSE OR YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE COVERED
CODE, OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, WHETHER UNDER A THEORY OF CONTRACT,
WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCTS LIABILITY OR
OTHERWISE, EVEN IF APPLE OR SUCH CONTRIBUTOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF
THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF
ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW
THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES,
SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. In no event shall Apple's total liability
to You for all damages (other than as may be required by applicable law) under this
License exceed the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00).
Software License Terms 247
10. Trademarks. This License does not grant any rights to use the trademarks or trade
names "Apple", "Apple Computer", "Mac", "Mac OS", "QuickTime", "QuickTime Streaming
Server" or any other trademarks, service marks, logos or trade names belonging to Apple
(collectively "Apple Marks") or to any trademark, service mark, logo or trade name
belonging to any Contributor. You agree not to use any Apple Marks in or as part of the
name of products derived from the Original Code or to endorse or promote products
derived from the Original Code other than as expressly permitted by and in strict
compliance at all times with Apple's third party trademark usage guidelines which are
posted at http://www.apple.com/legal/guidelinesfor3rdparties.html.
11. Ownership. Subject to the licenses granted under this License, each Contributor
retains all rights, title and interest in and to any Modifications made by such Contributor.
Apple retains all rights, title and interest in and to the Original Code and any Modifications
made by or on behalf of Apple ("Apple Modifications"), and such Apple Modifications will
not be automatically subject to this License. Apple may, at its sole discretion, choose to
license such Apple Modifications under this License, or on different terms from those
contained in this License or may choose not to license them at all.
12. Termination.
12.1 Termination. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate:
(a) automatically without notice from Apple if You fail to comply with any term(s) of this
License and fail to cure such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of such breach;
(b) immediately in the event of the circumstances described in Section 13.5(b); or
(c) automatically without notice from Apple if You, at any time during the term of this
License, commence an action for patent infringement against Apple; provided that Apple
did not first commence an action for patent infringement against You in that instance.
12.2 Effect of Termination. Upon termination, You agree to immediately stop any further
use, reproduction, modification, sublicensing and distribution of the Covered Code. All
sublicenses to the Covered Code which have been properly granted prior to termination
shall survive any termination of this License. Provisions which, by their nature, should
remain in effect beyond the termination of this License shall survive, including but not
limited to Sections 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.2 and 13. No party will be liable to any other for
compensation, indemnity or damages of any sort solely as a result of terminating this
License in accordance with its terms, and termination of this License will be without
prejudice to any other right or remedy of any party.
13. Miscellaneous.
Software License Terms 248
13.1 Government End Users. The Covered Code is a "commercial item" as defined in FAR
2.101. Government software and technical data rights in the Covered Code include only
those rights customarily provided to the public as defined in this License. This customary
commercial license in technical data and software is provided in accordance with FAR
12.211 (Technical Data) and 12.212 (Computer Software) and, for Department of Defense
purchases, DFAR 252.227-7015 (Technical Data -- Commercial Items) and 227.7202-3
(Rights in Commercial Computer Software or Computer Software Documentation).
Accordingly, all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Code with only those rights
set forth herein.
13.2 Relationship of Parties. This License will not be construed as creating an agency,
partnership, joint venture or any other form of legal association between or among You,
Apple or any Contributor, and You will not represent to the contrary, whether expressly, by
implication, appearance or otherwise.
13.3 Independent Development. Nothing in this License will impair Apple's right to acquire,
license, develop, have others develop for it, market and/or distribute technology or
products that perform the same or similar functions as, or otherwise compete with,
Modifications, Larger Works, technology or products that You may develop, produce,
market or distribute.
13.4 Waiver; Construction. Failure by Apple or any Contributor to enforce any provision of
this License will not be deemed a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other
provision. Any law or regulation which provides that the language of a contract shall be
construed against the drafter will not apply to this License.
13.5 Severability. (a) If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision
of this License, or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision of the License will be
enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the economic benefits and
intent of the parties, and the remainder of this License will continue in full force and effect.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable law prohibits or restricts You from fully
and/or specifically complying with Sections 2 and/or 3 or prevents the enforceability of
either of those Sections, this License will immediately terminate and You must immediately
discontinue any use of the Covered Code and destroy all copies of it that are in your
possession or control.
13.6 Dispute Resolution. Any litigation or other dispute resolution between You and Apple
relating to this License shall take place in the Northern District of California, and You and
Apple hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of, and venue in, the state and federal
courts within that District with respect to this License. The application of the United Nations
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.
13.7 Entire Agreement; Governing Law. This License constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This License shall be
governed by the laws of the United States and the State of California, except that body of
California law concerning conflicts of law.
