❏ A service engineer must do pre- and
post-maintenance when the printer is not used for
over 2 weeks. Pre- and post-maintenance will be
provided for a fee.
Moreover, depending on the environment and
length of time stored, repairs may be required
during post-maintenance even if pre-maintenance
is done. If repairs are necessary, they will be done for
a fee.
Contact your dealer or Epson Support.
❏ The pressure rollers may crease media left in the
printer. The media may also become wavy or
curled, causing jams or resulting in the media
coming into contact with the print head. Remove
the media before putting the printer in storage.
❏ Store the printer after confirming that the print
head has been capped (the print head is positioned
at the far right). If the print head is left uncapped for
a long time, the print quality may decline.
Note:
If the print head is not capped, turn the printer on, and
then turn it off.
❏ Close all covers before placing the printer in
storage. If you are not using the printer for a long
time, put an anti-static cloth or cover on the printer
to prevent dust. The print head nozzles are very
small, and they can become clogged easily if fine
dust gets on the print head, and you may not be able
to print properly.
❏ If you have not used the printer for a long time,
check the print heads for clogging before you start
printing. Clean the heads if the print heads are
clogged.

❏ When storing the printer, be sure that it is level: do
not store it on an angle, on end, or upside down.
Notes on handling ink packs and
ink tanks
Note the following points when handling ink packs and
ink tanks.
❏ Do not remove the ink tanks.
Adjustments are done to the ink tanks when they
are installed. Removing them may impair quality
and performance.
Introduction
❏ Store ink packs at room temperature in a location
that is not exposed to direct sunlight.
❏ To ensure print quality, use all the ink in the tank
before the earlier of the following dates:
❏ Expiry date noted on the ink pack
❏ 25 days after the ink tank was refilled
❏ Ink packs that have been stored at low temperatures
for an extended period should be allowed to return
to room temperature over a period of four hours
before use.
❏ When refilling the ink tank with ink, get all the ink
out of the ink pack so that there is none remaining.
❏ Immediately refill the ink tank once the ink pack is
open.
❏ Do not place anything on the ink tanks or subject
the ink tank to strong impacts. The ink tank could
become detached.
If the ink tank has come off, contact your dealer or
Epson Support.
Handling Media
Note the following when handling or storing media.
Media that are in poor condition will not produce good
quality prints.
Be sure to read the documentation provided with each
type of media.
Notes on Handling
❏ Do not fold the media or damage the printable
surface.
❏ Do not touch the printable surface. Moisture and
oils from your hands can affect print quality.
❏ When handling media, hold it by both edges. We
recommend wearing cotton gloves.
❏ Keep the media dry.
❏ Packaging materials can be used to store media and
should not be thrown away.
❏ Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight,
excessive heat, or humidity.
