For cut sheets, use new paper.
❏ Do not wet the paper.
❏ Do not throw away the paper packaging as you
can use it for storing the paper.
❏ Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight,
excessive heat, or humidity.
❏ Keep cut sheets in their original package after
opening, and keep them in a flat place.
❏ Remove roll paper that is not in use from the
printer. Rewind it correctly and then store it in
the original packaging that came with the roll
paper. If you leave the roll paper in the printer for
a long time, its quality may decline.
Notes on handling printed paper
To maintain long lasting, high quality print results,
note the following points.
❏ Do not rub or scratch print outs. If they are
rubbed or scratched, the ink may peel off.
❏ Do not touch the surface of print outs. The ink
may peel off.
❏ Make sure the print outs are completely dry
before folding of stacking; otherwise, the color
may change where they touch (leaves a mark).
These marks will disappear if they are separated
immediately and dried; however, they will remain
if not separated.
❏ If you put the print outs in an album before they
are completely dry, they may be blurred.
❏ Do not use a dryer to dry the print outs.
❏ Avoid direct sunlight.
❏ Prevent color distortion while displaying or
storing the print outs by following the
instructions in the paper's documentation.
Introduction
Note:
Typically, print outs and photos fade over time (color
distortion) due to the effects of light and various
constituents in the air. This also applies to Epson
special media. However, with the correct storage
method, the degree of color distortion can be minimized.
❏ See the documentation supplied with Epson special
media for detailed information on handling the
paper after printing.
❏ The colors of photos, posters, and other printed
materials appear different under different lighting
conditions (light sources
from this printer may also appear different under
different light sources.
* Light sources include sunlight, fluorescent light,
incandescent light, and other types.

Saving Power

The printer enters sleep mode or turns off
automatically if no operations are performed for a set
period. You can adjust the time before power
management is applied. Any increase will affect the
product's energy efficiency. Please consider the
environment before making any change.
Sleep mode
The printer enters sleep mode when there are no
errors, no print jobs being received, and no control
panel or other operations performed. When the
printer enters sleep mode, the control panel's screen
turns off and the internal motors and other parts
switch off to consume less power.
Sleep mode is exited if a print job is received or the
screen of the control panel is touched.
You can set the time it takes for the printer to enter
sleep mode. At default settings, the printer enters
sleep mode if no operations are performed for 15
minutes. The time it takes for the printer to enter
sleep mode can be changed in the Basic Settings menu.
