Cleaning the Printer

Warning: Be careful not to touch the gears inside the printer.
Caution: To avoid damaging the components as well as the
case, never use alcohol or thinners to clean the printer.
Be careful not to get water on the printer mechanism or screen
components.
Don't use a hard or abrasive brush.
Do not touch the ink absorption pads; otherwise, printouts may
be soiled.
Don't spray the inside of the printer with lubricants; unsuitable
oils can damage the mechanism. Contact Epson if you think the
printer needs lubrication.
To keep your printer working at its best, you should clean it
several times a year.
1. Make sure the printer is turned off, then unplug the power
cord and disconnect the printer from your computer. Let
the printer sit for a minute.
2. If the outer case is dirty, clean it with a soft, clean cloth
dampened with mild detergent. Keep the ink cartridge
compartment closed to prevent water from getting inside.
3. If the front manual tray is extended, close it by pushing it
in.
4. Open the top cover and then use a soft, lint-free cloth to
carefully remove any dust or dirt inside the printer. If the
back of a printout is soiled, carefully clean the plastic ribs
using a soft, lint-free cloth wiping in the direction of the
arrows. Also clean any area with excess ink or debris.
If the problem still occurs, clean the area using a soft, lint-free,
dampened cloth. Then wipe the inside of the printer dry with
a dry, lint-free, soft cloth.

Transporting or Storing the Printer

If you are moving the printer a short distance (for example, in
the same building), close any open extensions and covers and
remove the rear sheet guide if installed.
Warning: The printer weighs about 43 lb (20 kg), and should be
lifted by two people.
To ship the printer, you must repack it using the original box
and packing materials. If you do not have these items, contact
Epson to request them. Otherwise, the printer may be
damaged beyond repair.

Preparing the Printer for Shipment

1. Turn on the printer, make sure the print head is in the
home (far right) position, then turn off the printer.
2. Unplug the power cord and interface cable.
Caution: Do not remove the ink cartridges and do not turn off the
printer by unplugging it or turning off a power strip. You will not
be able to lock the print head, and ink may leak out of the
reservoir, damaging the printer.
3. Install the blue carriage retainer bracket to secure the print
head and ink tubes in place. If you don't have the bracket,
secure them with tape.
4. Remove any paper or media in the printer, then close the
paper tray extensions and covers, and remove the rear sheet
guide if installed.
5. Tape all of the doors, covers, and trays securely in place.
These include the front cover, ink cover, front manual feed
tray, and maintenance cartridge cover.
6. Insert the protective materials included with the printer and
repack it using the original box and packing materials.
