Cautions on Ink Cartridges
❏ Do not touch the IC chip on an ink cartridge. Doing so may result in normal operation and print-
ing becoming no longer possible.
❏ The product uses ink cartridges equipped with IC chips to manage the amount of ink used and

other information so ink cartridges are usable even if they are removed and reinstalled. However,
if an ink cartridge with not much ink remaining is removed and reinstalled, it may not be usable.
Some ink is consumed each time cartridges are installed because the product automatically
checks their reliability.
❏ Since ink cartridges are designed to stop the operation before ink runs out completely to main-
tain the quality of the ink head, some ink remains in the used ink cartridges.
❏ In order to keep the ink head in good condition, ink is also consumed during such non-printing
maintenance operations such as ink cartridge replacement.
❏ Do not turn off the power or open the cover during ink charging (while the
flashing). Opening the cover may cause the ink to be recharged, resulting in more ink being con-
sumed. Also, it may result in normal printing becoming no longer possible.
❏ Do not disassemble an ink cartridge. Doing so may cause ink to get into eyes or onto skin.
❏ Do not disassemble or modify an ink cartridge. Doing so may cause printing malfunction.
❏ Use of old ink cartridges may result in reduced print quality. Use ink cartridges up within six
months after opening the packages. The usage period for ink cartridges is printed on the pack-
aging of the individual ink cartridges.
❏ If ink contacts your skin, eyes, or mouth, take the following actions.
∗ When ink gets onto your skin, immediately wash the area with soap and water.
∗ When ink gets into your eyes, immediately flush them with water. Leaving the ink as is may

result in bloodshot eyes or mild inflammation. If something is wrong, immediately consult
with a doctor.
∗ When ink gets into your mouth, immediately spit it out and consult with a doctor.
❏ There may be some ink around the ink supply port on a removed ink cartridge. Take care so that
it does not stain the desk or other surface.
❏ Do not remove the ink cartridge except to replace it.
❏ Do not open an ink cartridge package until you are ready to install the ink cartridge in the prod-
uct.
❏ Do not shake an ink cartridge too hard. The ink cartridge may leak if you shake it around too
much or push the sides strongly.
❏ Do not allow foreign objects to fall into the cartridge installation section. Doing so may result in
normal printing becoming no longer possible. Remove any object that falls into the installation
section, taking care not to damage the section.
❏ When ink is charged the first time (right after purchase), ink is consumed for filling the ink head
nozzles (ink discharge holes) to get ready for printing. Because of this, the number of sheets that
can be printed by the first ink cartridge used in a new product may be lower than that of the sec-
ond and subsequent ink cartridges.
❏ Turning off the product by performing a
mand causes the ink head to be capped automatically to prevent the ink from drying. If you do
not plan to use the product after installing an ink cartridge, be sure to use either of the methods
above to turn off power. Do not pull out the power plug or turn off the breaker while the power
is on.
❏ Printing on water-repellent paper such as art paper, which is slow-drying, may cause print stains.
Also, if you print on glossy paper, fingerprints may get on the paper or ink may adhere to your
fingers when you touch the print surface. Select and use paper that will not cause print stains.
❏ Store the ink cartridges in a place out of reach of children.
❏ Epson recommends storing ink cartridges in a cool and dark place.
❏ If you wish to use ink cartridges that have been stored in a cold place for a long period of time,
leave them for at least 3 hours in a place that is at room temperature before use.
❏ Do not remove the ink cartridges from the product when storing the product.
