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.

Never move the print head by hand. Some ink is consumed from all cartridges during the following operations: print head cleaning and ink charging when an ink cartridge is installed. 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. Do not turn off the printer during ink charging as this will waste ink. 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 O O
