Important Safety Instructions

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 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. 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. 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. 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.

Precautions on the Touchpad

Press the touchpad gently with the tip of your finger. Do not press too hard or tap it with your nails. Do not operate using sharp or pointed objects such as ball point pen, sharp pencil, stylus pen, and so on. The touchpad is a capacitive touch panel that only responds to direct finger touch. The touchpad may not respond to touch from wet hands, gloved hands, or over the protective sheet or stickers.

Ink Cartridge Handling Precautions

Never move the print head by hand. 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. 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. 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. Leave the expended cartridge installed until you have obtained a replacement. Otherwise the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out. 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. 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. When an ink cartridge is expended, you cannot continue printing even if the other cartridges still contain ink. c O O O O O O O O

R & 11, 19 L Adjust the CD/DVD print position if it is misaligned. R & 27 M If the edges of the copy or photo are cropped off, move the original slightly away from the corner. N Clean the document table. See your online User’s Guide. Try the following solutions in order from the Top. For further information, see your online User’s Guide.

In some cases, such as when the scanner unit is left open for a certain period of time, the printer may stop printing halfway and the

paper or CD/DVD may be ejected. If the scanner unit is open, close it. The printer may resume printing, but if it does not, try printing again.

If you cannot solve the problem using the troubleshooting information, contact Epson support services for assistance. You can get

the contact information for Epson support for your area in your online User’s Guide or warranty card. If it is not listed there, contact the dealer where you purchased your product.
