Precautions on Handling and Disposal of the Product
Note:
Extending Ink Cartridge Life
❏
The first ink charging is conducted automatically when the first ink cartridge is installed (when the
printer is turned on). Do not turn the printer power off during the charging. If the power is turned
off, the ink charging will be subsequently repeated, causing a dramatic reduction in ink cartridge
printing life. This operation takes approximately two minutes. The POWER LED blinks during the
ink charging and stays on as soon as the charging is complete.
❏
Do not remove the ink cartridge unless it is being replaced. A cleaning operation is conducted each
time the ink cartridge is removed, causing a reduction in the ink cartridge printing life.
❏
Only press the CLEANING button to clean the head if printing problems are being experienced. The
cleaning operation causes a reduction in the ink cartridge printing life.
❏
Do not turn off the power switch or open the printer cover while the POWER LED is blinking; head
cleaning or the ink charging is being conducted.
Ink Freezing
❏
The interior of the printer and ink in the cartridge freezes if placed in an environment of -8
°C
(18 °F)
or colder. Approximately three hours are required before frozen ink can be used, if switched from -20
°C
( -4 °F) environment to +25
°C
(77 °F) environment, for example.
Replacing the Ink Cartridge
❏
Replace the ink cartridge while the printer is turned on. If the power is off during replacement,
defective printing may occur because the ink cartridge replacement is not correctly detected.
❏
Use the EPSON SJIC1 ink cartridge. The use of any other cartridge may cause damage to the printer.
Disposal
❏
Dispose of or recycle used ink cartridges as prescribed under national and local laws.
❏
Dispose of the used printer as prescribed under national and local laws.
❏
