Printer Features
This ink jet color printer supports A3+ paper. The main features of this printer are described below.

Superior Ease of Use
Equipped for Wireless LANs The wireless LAN feature that comes standard with the printer allows wireless printing from computers and compatible Wi-Fi devices.

Realizing High Resolution
Enhancing Creative Expression with Rich Color Reproduction Epson UltraChrome Hi-Gloss2 ink technology provides high-resolution printing to meet professional needs.
Balanced Color Reproduction Using Epson LUT Technology Using Epson LUT Technology realizes the following while ensuring an excellent balance among these parameters. This makes consistent color reproduction possible.
(1) Reduces color inconsistencies due to differences in lighting
(2) Reproduces fine gradations
(3) Reduces graininess
(4) Increases the gamut of colors for rich color reproduction
5760 × 1440 dpi Maximum Resolution, 1.5 pl Minimum Ink Dot Size Print beautiful photographs with little graininess.
Long life prints Pigment inks maintain more beautiful and more vibrant prints over a long period of time since their high water and ozone resistance and high light fastness prevent the inks from being broken down by light and ozone in the air.
Consistent color reproduction The Ink Density Optimization feature periodically operates to eliminate inconsistencies in ink density within each cartridge. Consistent color reproduction is consequently possible even with ink cartridges that have been left unused for extended periods.
U “Ink Density Optimization” on page 79

Note: You may find print speeds to be insufficient on some wireless networks or when printing at A3 or other sizes that involve large volumes of data. A physical connection is recommended if consistent print speeds are required.
Borderless printing function You can print with no margins for all directions with both auto expand or retain size print settings.
U “Borderless printing” on page 48
Also included is a poster printing function that allows you to join the output paper together when performing borderless printing in order to create large posters and calendars.
U “Poster Printing (Enlarge to cover several sheets and print – Windows only)” on page 57
Freely placing print data made by various applications using Layout Manager This function allows you to place multiple print data made by different applications freely on one sheet to create posters and display articles.
U “Layout Manager(Windows only)” on page 66
Support for a Wide Variety of Paper Types EPSON offers a wide variety of special media for high-quality printing. The printer can also print on thick paper, roll paper, and inkjet-compatible CDs and DVDs. These media types can be loaded as described below.

Make sure that you secure the following space, clear of any other objects, so that paper ejection and consumable replacement are not obstructed.
See the “Specifications Table” for the external dimensions of the printer.
U “Specifications Table” on page 104

requirements are met. For more details, see the manual supplied with the paper. Also, when operating in dry areas, air conditioned environment, or under direct sunlight, maintain the appropriate humidity.
Capping may not occur (the print head is not positioned on the right-hand side) if the printer is turned off during a paper jam or when an error occurs. 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.
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.
Do not open the printer cover or the front manual feed tray while the printer is operating (while the P light is flashing). Failure to observe this precaution could damage the printer.

• When printing on thick paper, leave a space of at least 320 mm behind the printer.
  Notes when using the printer
  Note the following points when using this printer to avoid breakdowns, malfunctions, and print quality decline.
  When using the printer, observe the operating temperature and humidity range described in the “Specifications Table”. U “Specifications Table” on page 104 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

Notes when not using the printer
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.
When storing the printer leave the ink cartridges installed and keep the printer level. Do not tilt or invert the printer or stand it on end.
If you do not print for a long time, the print head nozzles may become clogged. We recommend that you use the printer periodically to prevent the print head from clogging.
If the paper is left in the printer, the roller of the paper presser may leave a mark on the surface of the paper. This can also cause wavy or curled paper resulting in paper feeding problems or the print head could be scratched. Remove any paper when storing.

SC-P400 Series User’s Guide

Introduction

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.
Before storing the printer, close the printer cover, output tray and paper support. If you are not using the printer for a long time, put an anti-static cloth or cover on the printer to prevent dust. The print head nozzles are very small. They can become clogged easily if fine dust gets on the print head, and you may not be able to print properly.
If the printer has been left unused for an extended period, check that the print head nozzles are not clogged before resuming printing. Perform head cleaning if the print head is clogged. U “Checking for clogged nozzles” on page 77
Notes on handling ink cartridges
Note the following points when handling ink cartridges to maintain good print quality.
As part of the initial ink charging process performed after purchase, some ink is used to fill the print head nozzles to the tips and ready them for printing. As a result, the first ink cartridges installed after purchase will print fewer pages than subsequent cartridges.
We recommend storing ink cartridges in a cool, dark place, and using them before the expiry date on the package. Use cartridges within six months of opening.
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.
If you move ink cartridges from a cold place to a warm place, leave them at room temperature for more than three hours before using the ink cartridge.
Make sure you remove the yellow tape before installing. If you install without removing the tape, you may not be able to print properly. Do not remove any other film or labels. Otherwise, ink could leak.

Do not touch the IC chip in the ink cartridge. You may not be able to print properly. U “Replacing Ink Cartridges” on page 80
Install ink cartridges into all slots. You cannot print if any slot is empty.
Do not replace ink cartridges when the printer is off. Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, the printer may be damaged.
Do not turn off the printer during ink charging. Ink charging may not complete normally, making the printer unable to print.
Do not leave the printer without ink cartridges installed or turn the printer off during ink cartridge replacement. If the print head (nozzles) dries, you may not be able to print.
Because the green IC chip contains the cartridge’s own information such as the remaining ink level, you can still reinstall and use the ink cartridge after removing it from the printer. Note, however, that you may not be able to reuse ink cartridges that contained very little ink when they were removed from the printer. Some ink may also be used to ensure reliable operation when the cartridges are reinserted.
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.
To maintain the quality of the print head, this printer stops printing before ink cartridges are completely expended.
Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled materials, this does not effect printer function or performance.
Do not dismantle or remodel ink cartridges. You may not be able to print properly.
All colors of ink are used during ink cartridge replacement, head cleaning, and other non-printing maintenance operations to ensure that the print head remain in good condition.
Depending on the paper type and print quality settings, colored inks may also be used for high-density blacks in monochrome or grayscale printing.

SC-P400 Series User’s Guide

Introduction

You cannot use the cartridges that came with the printer for replacement.
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 manuals supplied with each paper.
Notes on Handling
Use Epson special media under normal room conditions (temperature: 15 to 25C; humidity: 40 to 60%).
Do not fold the paper or scratch the surface of the paper.
Avoid touching the printable surface of the paper with your bare hands. Moisture and oils from your hands can affect print quality.
Paper may be wavy or curled if the temperature and humidity change. Be careful not to scratch or soil the paper, and flatten it before loading it in the printer.
Do not wet the paper.
Do not throw away the paper packaging as you can use it for storing the paper.
Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight, excessive heat, or humidity.
Keep paper in their original package after opening, and keep them in a flat place.

Make sure the print outs are completely dry before folding or 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.
If you put the print outs in an album before they are completely dry, they may be blurred.
Do not use a dryer to dry the print outs.
Avoid direct sunlight.
Prevent color distortion while displaying or storing the print outs by following the instructions in the paper’s manual.
To keep your printouts from discoloring, store them in a dark place, away from high temperatures, high humidity, and direct sunlight.
Note: Typically, print outs 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.
See the manuals supplied with Epson special media for detailed information on handling the paper after printing.
The colors of photos, posters, and other printed materials appear different under different lighting conditions (light sources). The colors of print outs from this printer may also appear different under different light sources. Light sources include sunlight, fluorescent light, incandescent light, and other types.

Notes on handling printed paper
To maintain long lasting, high quality print results, note the following points.
Do not rub or scratch the printed surface. If they are rubbed or scratched, the ink may peel off.
Do not touch the printed surface; the ink may peel off.

The poster printing function automatically enlarges and divides the print data. You can join the printed sheets to create a large poster or calendar. Poster printing is available up to 16-fold (four sheets by four sheets) of normal printing size. There are two ways to print posters.
Borderless poster printing This automatically enlarges and divides the print data and prints without margins. You can make a poster just by joining the output paper together. To perform borderless printing, the data is expanded so that it extends slightly over the paper size. Enlarged areas that exceed the paper are not printed. Therefore, the image may misalign at the joins. To join the pages precisely, perform the following poster printing with margins.

Select Folded Booklet to print out as a booklet. In the example figure shown below, the pages that appear on the inside when the page is folded in two (pages 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11) are printed first.

Poster printing with margins This automatically enlarges and divides the print data and prints with margins. You need to cut the margins and then join the output paper together to make a poster.

Color Management Printing

Color Management Printing
About Color Management
Even when using the same image data, the original image and the displayed image may look different, and the printed results may look different to 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. Windows has ICM, and Mac OS X has ColorSync as the color management system.
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 Print Settings
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 print out and so on.
Setting color management with the applications 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.
U “Setting color management with the applications” on page 72
Setting color management with the printer driver 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.

This is effective in producing similar print results from different applications under the same operating systems.

Checking for clogged nozzles This function checks for clogged nozzles in the print head. If the print head nozzles are clogged, print results may include banding or unusual colors. Should you notice such phenomena, check for clogged nozzles and perform head cleaning if clogged nozzles are found.
U “Checking for clogged nozzles” on page 77
Head Cleaning Perform head cleaning if you notice banding or gaps in the print results. Head cleaning cleans the surface of the print head to improve the print quality.
U “Head Cleaning” on page 78
Ink Density Optimization Eliminates inconsistencies in ink density within the cartridges for consistent color reproduction.

B Turn the printer off. C Press the P button while pressing the I button.
The printer will turn on and print a nozzle check pattern.
D Check the results. Example of clean nozzles
There are no gaps in the nozzle check pattern. Example of clogged nozzles
If any segments are missing in the nozzle check pattern, perform head cleaning.

If the nozzles are still clogged after you have performed around four cycles of nozzle checks and head cleaning, turn the printer off, wait for at least six hours, and perform a nozzle check and head cleaning again. Leaving the cartridges undisturbed for a period of time may allow the ink that is causing the clog to dissolve.
If the nozzles are still clogged, contact your dealer or Epson Support.

Maintenance

Correcting Print Misalignment (Print Head Alignment)
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. As a result, print results may appear grainy or out of focus. When this happens, perform Print Head Alignment to correct the print misalignment.
This operation is performed from the computer.
Explanations in this section use the Windows printer driver as an example.

c Important:
Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson ink cartridges. Epson cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of nongenuine 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.
The following procedure uses Yellow ink as an example. You can use the same procedure to replace all ink cartridges.
A Make sure the printer is on.
B Open the printer cover.

How to replace
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.

Note: When an ink cartridge requires replacement, the ink check light for affected cartridge will light.
