❏ Maintenance such as cleaning and replacement
must be performed according to usage frequency
or at recommended intervals. Failure to perform
regular maintenance could result in loss of print
quality. In the absence of the appropriate
maintenance, continued use could damage the
print head.

❏ The print head may not be capped (the print head
may not return to the right side) if the printer is
turned off when the media is jammed or an error
has occurred. Capping is a function for
automatically covering the print head with a cap
(lid) to prevent the print head from drying out. In
this case, turn on the power and wait a while until
capping is performed automatically.
❏ When the power is on, do not remove the power
plug or cut the power at the breaker. The print
head may not be capped properly. In this case,
turn on the power and wait a while until capping
is performed automatically.
❏ The print head is automatically cleaned at a fixed
interval after printing to keep the nozzle from
clogging.
Be sure that the Waste Ink Bottle is placed
whenever the printer is on.
❏ As well as being expended during printing, ink is
used during head cleaning and other maintenance
required to keep the print head in working order.
❏ To ensure the colors you want to print, maintain a
constant room temperature of 15 to 25°C.
Notes when not using the printer
If you are not using it, note the following points when
storing the printer. If it is not stored correctly, you
may not be able to print properly the next time it is used.
❏ Turn the power on once every 7 days when the
printer is not used for a long time.
If you do not print for a long time, the print head
nozzles may become clogged. Head cleaning will
be performed automatically after the printer is
turned on and started. Head cleaning prevents
clogged print heads and maintains print quality.
Do not turn the printer off until cleaning is
complete.
Introduction
❏ 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.
