12 Important Safety Instructions
■ During the life of your product, it may be necessary to replace the waste ink pad when it has
become full. Whether and how often this is required will vary according to the number of pages
you print, the type of material you print on and the number of cleaning cycles that the product
performs. Epson Status Monitor or lights on the product’s control panel will notify you when
this part needs to be replaced. The need for replacement of the pad does not mean that your
product has ceased to operate in accordance with its specifications. The replacement of this part
is a routine product servicing activity within the product’s specification and is not a problem
which requires repair. Epson’s warranty does not therefore cover the cost of this replacement. If
your product needs to have the waste ink pad replaced, the replacement can be performed by
any authorized Epson service provider. It is not a user-serviceable part.
Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions
■ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.
■ Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges; there may be ink remaining around the ink
supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash it thoroughly with soap and water. If it gets in your
eyes, flush them immediately with water. If ink gets in your mouth, spit it out and see a doctor
right away.
■ Do not put your hand inside the product or touch any cartridges during printing.
■ Install a new ink cartridge immediately after removing an expended one. Leaving cartridges
uninstalled can dry out the print head and may prevent the product from printing.
■ Remove the yellow tape from the cartridge before installing it; otherwise, print quality may
decline or you may not be able to print.
■ Do not touch the green IC chip or the small window on the side of the cartridge. This may
prevent normal operation.
■ Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this can cause leakage. Do not remove the
transparent seal from the bottom of the cartridge; otherwise, the cartridge may become
unusable.
■ Do not shake ink cartridges too vigorously or after opening their packages; this can cause them
to leak.
■ If you remove an ink cartridge temporarily, protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust
and store it in the same environment as the product. Note that there is a valve in the ink
supply port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent the ink from
staining items that the cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink cartridge ink supply port or
surrounding area.
■ For maximum efficiency, only remove an ink cartridge when you are ready to replace it. Ink
cartridges with low ink status may not be used when reinserted.
■ All ink cartridges must be installed in order to print.
■ Use an ink cartridge before the date printed on its package.
■ Do not disassemble or remodel an ink cartridge; otherwise, you may not be able to print
normally.
■ Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place.
