■
Visually check the ink levels in the ink tanks to confirm the actual ink levels. If any of the ink levels
are below the lower line on the ink tanks, refill the ink soon. Continued use of the product when the
ink is below the lower line could damage the printer. Epson recommends filling the ink tanks to the
upper line when the product is not operating, then reset the ink levels as described in the online
User's Guide.
■
To obtain optimum printing results, do not maintain a low ink level for extended periods of time.
■
Use ink bottles with the correct part number for this product.
■
The use of non-genuine ink may cause damage that is not covered by Epson's warranty, and under
certain circumstances, may cause erratic product behavior.
■
Be careful not to touch any ink when you handle the ink tanks, ink tank caps, and opened ink bottles
or ink bottle caps. If ink gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets
into your eyes, flush them with water. If discomfort or vision problems remain after a thorough
flushing, see a doctor immediately. If ink gets into your mouth, spit it out immediately and see a
doctor right away.
■
This product requires careful handling of ink. Ink may splatter when the ink tanks are filled
or refilled with ink. If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.
■
Do not open the ink bottle package until you are ready to fill an ink tank. Ink bottles are vacuum
packed to maintain reliability. If you leave an ink bottle unpacked for a long time before using it,
normal printing may not be possible.
■
Once you open an ink bottle, we recommend using it as soon as possible.
■
Use the ink before the date printed on the package.
■
After bringing an ink bottle inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature
for at least three hours before using it.
■
Do not store ink bottles in extreme temperatures and keep them away from direct sunlight.
■
When storing or transporting an ink bottle, do not tilt the bottle and do not subject it to impacts or
temperature changes. Otherwise, ink may leak even if the cap on the ink bottle is tightened securely.
Be sure to keep the ink bottle upright when tightening the cap, and take measures to prevent ink
from leaking when you transport the bottle.
■
To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all ink tanks when
performing maintenance operations, such as cleaning the print head. Ink may also be consumed
when you turn the product on.
■
The ink bottles may contain recycled materials, but this does not affect product function or
performance.
■
Depending on the paper type or print quality setting, color ink may be used instead of black ink
when printing in monochrome or grayscale. This is because a mixture of color inks is used to create
black.
