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
*
). The colors of print outs
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.

Note:
When the printer enters sleep mode, the control panel's
screen goes blank as if the power has been turned off,
but the P light remains lit.
Power Off Timer
This function automatically turns the printer off if no
errors occur, no print jobs are received, and no
control panel or other operations are performed for a
set period of time.
