Handling Media - Epson SureColor S40600 User Manual

• Do not drop ink cartridges or subject them to impacts. It may cause ink to leak.
• Be sure to remove ink cartridges installed in the printer and thoroughly shake them once every three
weeks.
• If you are using the White or Metallic Silver ink cartridges, follow these additional guidelines to prevent
sedimentation:
• Leave the printer turned on so it can automatically circulate the ink. If you plan on leaving the printer
turned off for more than a week, perform pre-storage maintenance first.
• Remove and shake the White or Metallic Silver ink cartridges daily.
• Lay ink cartridges on their side when storing them.
• When printing multiple copies of a large print job, the printer may perform automatic ink circulation in
between copies which can cause your printouts to differ in color. To avoid this, it is recommended
that you perform Ink Circulation from the Maintenance menu before you start printing.
Note: To maintain the quality of the print head, the printer stops printing before ink cartridges are
completely expended. The ink cartridges may contain recycled materials; this does not affect printer
functions or performance.

Handling Media

Follow these guidelines as you handle or store media:
• Read and follow the guidelines provided with each type of media.
• Do not fold the media or otherwise damage its printable surface.
• Do not touch the printable surface. This prevents oil from your hands from causing print quality
problems.
• When handling media, hold it by both edges, preferably while wearing cotton gloves.
• Keep the media dry and avoid storage locations subject to direct sunlight, excessive heat, and high
humidity.
• Retain the media packaging materials so you can use it to store unused media.
