Network Security Recommendations
To help deter unauthorized access to your product over a network, you should protect your network
environment using appropriate security measures.
Security measures such as these can help deter threats such as loss of user data, use of telephone and
fax lines, and other intrusions:
•Enable security on your wireless LAN
Enable the appropriate security on the wireless LAN you plan to use with your product. Network
security such as a network password can deter interception of traffic over the wireless LAN. Your
router may already have a default password enabled by your Internet service provider (ISP). See your
ISP and router documentation for instructions on how to change the default password and better
secure your network.
•Connect your product only to a network protected by a firewall
Connecting your product directly to the Internet may leave it vulnerable to security threats. Instead,
connect it to a router or other network connection protected by a firewall. Your router may already
have a firewall set up by your Internet service provider; check with your ISP for confirmation. For best

Scan Resolution Guidelines
The Resolution setting, measured in dpi (dots per inch), controls the amount of detail captured in your
scans. Increasing the resolution raises the amount of detail captured but comes with the following
disadvantages:
• Larger file sizes
• It takes longer to scan your originals, send/receive your scans by email or fax, and to print your scans
• The image may become too large to fit on your display or print on paper
If you plan to enlarge a scanned image so you can print it at a larger size, you may need to increase the
resolution from the default resolution set by Epson Scan 2. Follow these guidelines to determine the
resolution setting you need:
• You will scan the image at its original size but enlarge it later in an image-editing program.
Increase the Epson Scan 2 Resolution setting in your scan. Increase the resolution by the same
amount you will increase the image size to retain a high image quality. For example, if the resolution is
300 dpi (dots per inch) and you will double the image size later, change the Resolution setting to 600
dpi.
• You will scan the image at 100% or smaller size.
Select the Epson Scan 2 Resolution setting based on how you will use the scanned image:
• Email/view on a computer screen/post on the web: 96 to 200 dpi
• Print/fax/convert to editable text (OCR)/create searchable PDF: 200 to 300 dpi

Refilling Ink
When the ink level is below the lower line on an ink tank, you need to refill it.
Periodically check the ink tanks to see if they need to be refilled.
Before checking the ink levels or refilling an ink tank as described here, be sure to read the ink safety
precautions.
Caution: If the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank, fill it to the upper line on the ink tank.
Continued use of the product when the ink level is below the lower line on a tank could damage the
product.
Ink Safety Precautions
Check Ink Levels
Purchase Epson Ink
Refilling the Ink Tanks
Ink Safety Precautions
Note: The product has a low ink alert system. The accuracy of this system depends on the user refilling
the ink tanks correctly. The product cannot directly measure the ink levels in the tanks; instead it
estimates the amount of ink remaining by internally monitoring ink usage. The low ink alert system may
generate inaccurate messages if the ink tanks are not refilled according to these instructions.
As a precaution, perform regular visual inspections of the ink tanks to ensure ink levels do not fall below
the lower line. Continued use of the product when the ink level is below the lower line on the tank could
damage the product.
Ink Handling Precautions
• Keep ink bottles and the ink tanks out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to drink from or
handle the ink bottles and bottle caps.
• Do not tilt or shake an ink bottle after opening it; otherwise, ink may leak.
• If ink gets on your skin, wash it thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them
immediately with water. If discomfort or problems persist, see a doctor immediately. If ink gets into
your mouth, spit it out and see a doctor right away.
• Do not squeeze the ink bottles.
124
• If ink spills, wipe it up immediately. To prevent the ink from spreading, blot the spill with a dry cloth,
then wipe it with a damp cloth. The ink will be hard to remove once it has dried.
Ink Refilling Precautions
• Use ink bottles with the correct part number for this product.
• The use of non-Epson ink may cause damage that is not covered by Epson’s warranty, and under
certain circumstances, may cause erratic product behavior.
• 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, print
quality may be affected.
• If the ink level is below the lower line on an ink tank, refill the ink. Continued use of the product when
the ink level is below the lower line on an ink tank could damage the product.
• Visually check the ink levels in the product’s ink tanks to confirm the actual ink levels. Continued use
of the product when the ink is expended could damage the product.
• Epson recommends filling all ink tanks to the upper line when the product is not operating to reset the
ink levels.
• For optimum printing results, refill the ink tanks to the upper line at least once a year.
• 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.
• Use the ink bottle before the date printed on the package.
• After opening an ink bottle, Epson recommends using it as soon as possible.
• Wipe off any ink around the tanks and ports with a clean, lint-free cloth or cotton swab.
• Store ink bottles in a cool, dark place.
• Do not store the ink bottles in high or freezing temperatures.
• Store the ink bottles in the same environment as the product. When storing or transporting an opened
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.
125
Ink Bottle and Ink Tank Information
• To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all ink tanks during printing
and when performing maintenance operations, such as cleaning the print head. Ink may also be
consumed when the product is turned on.
• The ink bottles may contain recycled materials, but this does not affect product function or
performance.
• When printing in monochrome or grayscale, color ink may be used instead of black ink, depending on
the paper type or print quality settings. This is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.
• A reserve amount of ink remains in the tank when your product indicates that a refill is necessary.

131
Note: This product is designed to work with genuine Epson inks. Non-Epson ink or any other ink not
specified for this printer could cause damage not covered by Epson’s warranties.
The ink bottles that are used for initial product setup have a lower yield due to the ink charging process.
This process is carried out the first time you turn on the printer and guarantees better performance.
Yields vary considerably based on print jobs, print settings, paper type, frequency of use, and
temperature. Do not load paper before refilling the ink tanks.
Check the ink levels in your product frequently, and refill the ink tanks if necessary.

Refilling the Ink Tanks
Make sure you have new ink bottles handy and have read the ink safety precautions before you begin.
You can continue to use the product even if one or more ink tanks are not filled all the way. However, for
the most accurate ink level monitoring, fill all the ink tanks up to the top line.
Note: The product has a low ink alert system. The accuracy of this system depends on the user refilling
the ink tanks correctly. The product cannot directly measure the ink levels in the tanks; instead it
estimates the amount of ink remaining by internally monitoring ink usage. The low ink alert system may
generate inaccurate messages if the ink tanks are not refilled according to these instructions.
As a precaution, perform regular visual inspections of the ink tanks to ensure ink levels do not fall below
the lower line. Continued use of the product when the ink level is below the lower line on the tank could
damage the product.
132
Caution: Wear disposable gloves while refilling the ink tanks to avoid staining your hands. If ink spills,
wipe it off immediately with a damp towel to avoid permanent stains. If ink gets on your clothes or
belongings, it may not come off.
1. Turn on your product.
2. Use the arrow buttons to select Maintenance and press the OK button.
3. Select Reset Ink Level and press the OK button.
You see this screen:
4. Open the ink tank cover.
133
5. Open the cap for the ink tank you are going to fill.
Note: Make sure the color of the ink tank matches the ink color you want to refill.
6. Hold the ink bottle upright and slowly turn the bottle cap to remove it.
134
Caution: Do not shake or squeeze the bottle. Do not touch the top of the bottle after its cap is
removed. Do not allow the top of the ink bottle to hit any objects after removing its cap; otherwise, ink
may spill.
Warning: If ink gets on your skin, wash it thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes,
flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or problems persist, see a doctor immediately. If ink
gets into your mouth, spit it out and see a doctor right away. Keep the ink bottles out of the reach of
children and do not drink the ink.
7. Position the top of the ink bottle along the slot in front of the filling port, then slowly stand the bottle
up to insert it.
Note: Refer to the color-coded sticker on the ink tank unit to identify the color of each tank. Do not
force the bottles into position; they are keyed for each color.
135
8. Wait for the ink to fill the tank. Do not squeeze the bottle. Ink flows into the tank and stops
automatically when the ink is filled to the upper line.
Note: If ink does not flow from the bottle, lift and reinsert the bottle.
136
9. When the ink tank is full, remove the ink bottle and securely close the ink tank cap.
Note: If any ink remains in the bottle, replace the bottle cap and tighten it. Store the bottle upright for
later use.
10. Repeat the previous steps as necessary for each ink tank you need to refill.
11. Close the ink tank cover firmly.
12. Press the start button.
13. Follow the on-screen instructions to reset the ink level for the colors you refilled.

Print Head Maintenance
If your printouts become too light, or you see dark or light bands across them, you may need to clean the
print head nozzles. Cleaning uses ink, so clean the nozzles only if print quality declines.
You can check for clogged nozzles before you clean them so you don’t clean them unnecessarily.
Note: You may not be able to clean the print head when the ink level in any of the tanks is low. You may
have to refill the ink tank first.
If you still see white or dark lines or gaps in your printouts, even after cleaning the print head several
times, you can run a Power Cleaning.

• Check if your computer is restricting the available wireless channels. If so, verify that your wireless
access point is using one of the usable channels and change to a usable channel, if necessary.
• If you cannot connect your product to a device using Wi-Fi Direct, you may have exceeded the
maximum number of devices connected to your product (8). Print a network status sheet or access
Web Config on the browser for your device and check the number of connected devices. If 8 devices
are already connected, disconnect a device by deleting the product’s SSID from the Wi-Fi screen of
that device. If fewer than 8 devices are connected, check the accuracy of your other network settings,
move your device closer to your product, and try connecting again.

• Align the print head.
• Adjust the print quality in the product software.
• You may need to increase the image resolution or print a smaller size; see your software
documentation.
Note: Images from the Internet may be low resolution and not result in a high quality printout.
• If you enlarged the image size in an image-editing program, you need to increase the image resolution
setting to retain a high image quality. Increase the image resolution by the same amount you increase
190
the image size. For example, if the image resolution is 300 dpi (dots per inch) and you will double the
image size for printing, change the resolution setting to 600 dpi.
Note: Higher resolution settings result in larger file sizes, which take longer to process and print.
Consider the limitations of your computer system when selecting a resolution, and select the lowest
possible resolution that produces acceptable quality to keep file sizes manageable.

Incorrect Colors
If your printouts have incorrect colors, try these solutions:
• Make sure the paper type setting matches the paper you loaded.
• Make sure the Grayscale setting is not selected in your printer software.
• If you selected Standard-Vivid (Windows) or Normal-Vivid (Mac) as the quality setting in the printer
software, try selecting Standard (Windows) or Normal (Mac) instead.
• Select EPSON Standard as the Color Mode (Windows) or Mode (Mac) setting in the printer software.
• Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if
necessary.
• The ink levels may be low and you may need to refill the ink. Visually check the ink levels.
• If you printed when the ink levels were too low to be seen in the ink tank windows, refill the ink tanks to
the upper lines and run the Power Cleaning utility. Then run a nozzle check to see if print quality has
improved.
• After you print, the colors in your printout need time to set as the ink dries. During this time, the colors
may look different than you expect. To speed up drying time, do not stack your printouts on top of each
other.
191
• Your printed colors can never exactly match your on-screen colors. However, you can use a color
management system to get as close as possible. Try using the color management options in your
printer software.
• Try turning off the PhotoEnhance setting in Windows.
• Try selecting a different Color Management setting on the More Options tab of the printer software,
and changing the Scene Correction setting to something other than Auto Correct.
• For best results, use genuine Epson paper.
• If you have not used the product for a long time, run the Power Cleaning utility.
Note: Power Cleaning consumes a lot of ink, so run this utility only if you cannot improve print quality
by cleaning the print head.

Scanned Image Colors Do Not Match Original Colors
Printed colors can never exactly match the colors on your computer monitor because printers and
monitors use different color systems: monitors use RGB (red, green, and blue) and printers typically use
CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black).
Check the color matching and color management capabilities of your computer, display adapter, and the
software you are using to see if they are affecting the palette of colors you see on your screen.
To adjust the colors in your scanned image, adjust these Epson Scan 2 settings (if available) and try
scanning again:
• If the Image Type setting is Color or Grayscale, adjust the Contrast setting.
• If the Image Type setting is Black & White or Grayscale, adjust the Color Enhance setting.

heat or dusty conditions that require more cleaning cycles. The Epson Status Monitor and warning
light on the control panel will indicate when the waste pad needs to be replaced. The ink pad is not a
user serviceable part. Please seek service from an Epson Authorized Service Center or consider a
new printer if your printing needs have changed or the printer has had a long period of extensive use.

Binding Arbitration and Class Waiver
1. DISPUTES, BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND
CLASS ARBITRATIONS
1.1 Disputes. The terms of this Section 1 shall apply to all Disputes between you and Epson. The term
«Dispute» is meant to have the broadest meaning permissible under law and includes any dispute, claim,
controversy or action between you and Epson arising out of or relating to this Agreement, Epson
branded products (hardware and including any related software), or other transaction involving you and
216
Epson, whether in contract, warranty, misrepresentation, fraud, tort, intentional tort, statute, regulation,
ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis. «DISPUTE» DOES NOT INCLUDE IP CLAIMS, or more
specifically, a claim or cause of action for (a) trademark infringement or dilution, (b) patent infringement,
(c) copyright infringement or misuse, or (d) trade secret misappropriation (an «IP Claim»). You and Epson
also agree, notwithstanding Section 1.6,that a court, not an arbitrator, may decide if a claim or cause of
action is for an IP Claim.
1.2 Binding Arbitration. You and Epson agree that all Disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration
according to this Agreement. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JUDGE
OR JURY IN A COURT PROCEEDING AND YOUR GROUNDS FOR APPEAL ARE LIMITED.
Pursuant to this Agreement, binding arbitration shall be administered by JAMS, a nationally recognized
arbitration authority, pursuant to its code of procedures then in effect for consumer related disputes, but
excluding any rules that permit joinder or class actions in arbitration (for more detail on procedure, see
Section 1.6 below). You and Epson understand and agree that (a) the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C.
§1, et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 1, (b) this Agreement
memorializes a transaction in interstate commerce, and (c) this Section 1 shall survive termination of this
Agreement.
1.3 Pre-Arbitration Steps and Notice. Before submitting a claim for arbitration, you and Epson agree to
try, for sixty (60) days, to resolve any Dispute informally. If Epson and you do not reach an agreement to
resolve the Dispute within the sixty (60) days), you or Epson may commence an arbitration. Notice to
Epson must be addressed to: Epson America, Inc., ATTN: Legal Department, 3840 Kilroy Airport Way,
Long Beach, CA 90806 (the «Epson Address»). The Dispute Notice to you will be sent to the most recent
address Epson has in its records for you. For this reason, it is important to notify us if your address
changes by emailing us at EAILegal@ea.epson.com or writing us at the Epson Address above. Notice of
the Dispute shall include the sender’s name, address and contact information, the facts giving rise to the
Dispute, and the relief requested (the «Dispute Notice»). Following receipt of the Dispute Notice, Epson
and you agree to act in good faith to resolve the Dispute before commencing arbitration.
1.4 Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring an individual action in the small
claims court of your state or municipality if the action is within that court’s jurisdiction and is pending only
in that court.
1.5 WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS. YOU AND EPSON AGREE THAT
EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL
CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR
REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FEDERAL OR STATE
CLASS ACTIONS, OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS. CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS, CLASS-WIDE
ARBITRATIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY-GENERAL ACTIONS, AND ANY OTHER PROCEEDING
WHERE SOMEONE ACTS IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ARE NOT ALLOWED.
ACCORDINGLY, UNDER THE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THIS SECTION, AN
ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT COMBINE OR CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PARTY’S CLAIMS
217
WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED PARTIES TO AN ARBITRATION
PROCEEDING.
1.6 Arbitration Procedure. If you or Epson commences arbitration, the arbitration shall be governed by
the rules of JAMS that are in effect when the arbitration is filed, excluding any rules that permit arbitration
on a class or representative basis (the «JAMS Rules»), available at https://www.jamsadr.com/about/ or
by calling +1-949-224-1810 (from outside the U.S.) or 1-800-352-5267 (from within the U.S.), and under
the rules set forth in this Agreement. All Disputes shall be resolved by a single neutral arbitrator, and
both parties shall have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of the arbitrator. The
arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court
or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the
interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including any claim that all or
any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. Notwithstanding this broad delegation of authority to the
arbitrator, a court may determine the limited question of whether a claim or cause of action is for an IP
Claim, which is excluded from the definition of «Disputes» in Section 1.1 above. The arbitrator shall be
empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator
may award you the same damages as a court could, and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only
in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted
by that party’s individual claim. In some instances, the costs of arbitration can exceed the costs of
litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court. The arbitrator’s award
is binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
You may choose to engage in arbitration hearings by telephone. Arbitration hearings not conducted by
telephone shall take place in a location reasonably accessible from your primary residence, or in Orange
County, California, at your option.
a) Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding. If either you or Epson decides to arbitrate a Dispute, both parties
agree to the following procedure:
(i) Write a Demand for Arbitration. The demand must include a description of the Dispute and the amount
of damages sought to be recovered. You can find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at
http://www.jamsadr.com («Demand for Arbitration»).
(ii) Send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to: JAMS, 500 North
State College Blvd., Suite 600 Orange, CA 92868, U.S.A.
(iii) Send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to the other party (same address as the Dispute
Notice), or as otherwise agreed by the parties.
b) Hearing Format. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made shall not be disclosed
to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Epson is entitled.
The discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute may be allowed during
the arbitration.
218
c) Arbitration Fees. Epson shall pay, or (if applicable) reimburse you for, all JAMS filings and arbitrator
fees for any arbitration commenced (by you or Epson) pursuant to provisions of this Agreement.
d) Award in Your Favor. For Disputes in which you or Epson seeks $75,000 or less in damages exclusive
of attorney’s fees and costs, if the arbitrator’s decision results in an award to you in an amount greater
than Epson’s last written offer, if any, to settle the Dispute, Epson will: (i) pay you $1,000 or the amount
of the award, whichever is greater; (ii) pay you twice the amount of your reasonable attorney’s fees, if
any; and (iii) reimburse you for any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that your attorney
reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing the Dispute in arbitration. Except as
agreed upon by you and Epson in writing, the arbitrator shall determine the amount of fees, costs, and
expenses to be paid by Epson pursuant to this Section 1.6d).
e) Attorney’s Fees. Epson will not seek its attorney’s fees and expenses for any arbitration commenced
involving a Dispute under this Agreement. Your right to attorney’s fees and expenses under Section
1.6d) above does not limit your rights to attorney’s fees and expenses under applicable law;
notwithstanding the foregoing, the arbitrator may not award duplicative awards of attorney’s fees and
expenses.
1.7 Opt-out. You may elect to opt-out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding, individual
arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this
Agreement by sending a written letter to the Epson Address within thirty (30) days of your assent
to this Agreement (including without limitation the purchase, download, installation of the
Software or other applicable use of Epson Hardware, products and services) that specifies (i)
your name, (ii) your mailing address, and (iii) your request to be excluded from the final, binding
individual arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in
this Section 1. In the event that you opt-out consistent with the procedure set forth above, all
other terms shall continue to apply, including the requirement to provide notice prior to litigation.
1.8 Amendments to Section 1. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, you
and Epson agree that if Epson makes any future amendments to the dispute resolution procedure and
class action waiver provisions (other than a change to Epson’s address) in this Agreement, Epson will
obtain your affirmative assent to the applicable amendment. If you do not affirmatively assent to the
applicable amendment, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between the parties in
accordance with the language of this Section 1 (or resolve disputes as provided for in Section 1.7, if you
timely elected to opt-out when you first assented to this Agreement).
1.9 Severability. If any provision in this Section 1 is found to be unenforceable, that provision shall be
severed with the remainder of this Agreement remaining in full force and effect. The foregoing shall not
apply to the prohibition against class or representative actions as provided in Section 1.5. This
means that if Section 1.5 is found to be unenforceable, the entire Section 1 (but only Section 1)
shall be null and void.
