Safety Instructions
Read and follow these instructions to ensure safe use of this printer. Make sure you keep this manual for future reference. Also, be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the printer. Some of the symbols used on your printer are to ensure safety and proper use of the printer. Visit the following
Web site to learn the meaning of the symbols. http://support.epson.net/symbols/ Use only the power cord supplied with the printer and do not use the cord with any other equipment. Use of other cords with this printer or the use of the supplied power cord with other equipment may result in fire or electric shock. Be sure your AC power cord meets the relevant local safety standard. Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the power cord, plug, printer unit, scanner unit, or options by yourself, except as specifically explained in the printer’s manuals. Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the printer; the printer has been dropped or the casing damaged; the printer does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Do not adjust controls that are not covered by the operating instructions. Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged. Do not place or store the printer outdoors, near excessive dirt or dust, water, heat sources, or in locations subject to shocks, vibrations, high temperature or humidity. Take care not to spill liquid on the printer and not to handle the printer with wet hands. Keep the printer at least 22 cm away from cardiac pacemakers. Radio waves from this printer may adversely affect the operation of cardiac pacemakers. If the LCD screen is damaged, contact your dealer. If the liquid crystal solution gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If the liquid crystal solution gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately. Avoid using a telephone during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning. Do not use a telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

Printer Advisories and Warnings
Read and follow these instructions to avoid damaging the printer or your property. Make sure you keep this manual for future reference.
Advisories and Warnings for Setting Up the Printer
Do not block or cover the vents and openings in the printer. Use only the type of power source indicated on the printer’s label. Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off. Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as
loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones. The power-supply cords should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do not place
objects on top of the power-supply cords and do not allow the power-supply cords to be stepped on or run over. Be particularly careful to keep all the power-supply cords straight at the ends and the points where they enter and leave the transformer. If you use an extension cord with the printer, make sure that the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure that the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating. If you plan to use the printer in Germany, the building installation must be protected by a 10 or 16 amp circuit breaker to provide adequate short-circuit protection and over-current protection for the printer. When connecting the printer 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. Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base of the printer in all directions. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted at an angle. Allow space above the printer so that you can fully raise the document cover. Leave enough space in front of the printer for the paper to be fully ejected. Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Also, keep the printer away from direct sunlight, strong light, or heat sources.
Advisories and Warnings for Using the Printer
Do not insert objects through the slots in the printer. Do not put your hand inside the printer during printing. Do not touch the white flat cable inside the printer. Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the printer. Doing so may cause fire. Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may damage the printer. Be careful not to trap your fingers when closing the scanner unit. Do not press too hard on the scanner glass when placing the originals.

Advisories and Warnings for Using the LCD Screen
The LCD screen may contain a few small bright or dark spots, and because of its features it may have an uneven brightness. These are normal and do not indicate that it is damaged in any way.
Only use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or chemical cleaners. The exterior cover of the LCD screen could break if it receives a heavy impact. Contact your dealer if the
screen’s surface chips or cracks, and do not touch or attempt to remove the broken pieces.

Loading Paper > Paper Size and Type Settings
Paper Handling Precautions
Read the instruction sheets supplied with the paper. To achieve high-quality printouts with genuine Epson paper, use the paper in the environment stated on the
sheets supplied with the paper. Fan and align the edges of the paper before loading. Do not fan or curl photo paper. Doing so may damage the
printable side.
If the paper is curled, flatten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on curled paper may cause paper jams and smears on the printout.
Paper feed problems may occur frequently for manual 2-sided printing when printing on one side of preprinted paper. Reduce the number of sheets to half or less, or load one sheet of paper at a time if paper jams continue.
Fan and align the edges of the envelopes before loading. When the stacked envelopes are puffed up with air, press them down to flatten them before loading.
