■
Keep ink bottles and the ink tank unit out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to
drink from or handle the ink bottles and bottle caps.
■
Do not squeeze the ink bottles.
■
Do not shake the ink bottles too vigorously or subject them to strong impacts; otherwise, ink
may leak.
■
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 tank to the upper line when the product is not operating, then reset the ink level
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 and be sure to refill the ink tanks to the upper line at least once a year.
■
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 after removing its cap, 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.
