their best, even after cleaning and aligning the print head.
Note: Please dispose of your used Epson branded ink cartridges and maintenance boxes responsibly
and in accordance with local requirements. If you would like to return your used ink cartridges and
maintenance boxes to Epson for proper disposal, please go to epson.com/recycle for more information.

Blurry or Smeared Printout
If your printouts are blurry or smeared, try these solutions:
• Make sure your paper is not damp, curled, old, or loaded incorrectly in your product.
• Use a support sheet with special paper, or load special paper one sheet at a time.
• Make sure your paper meets the specifications for your product.
• Use Epson papers to ensure proper saturation and absorption of genuine Epson inks.
• Make sure the paper type setting in your product software matches the type of paper you loaded.
• Make sure you loaded the printable side of the paper correctly for your product.
• If you are printing on thick paper or envelopes, turn on the Thick Paper setting from the control panel
or select Thick Paper and Envelopes in the Extended Settings of the printer software. (Turning this
setting on will decrease print speed.)
• In Windows, if the paper is still smeared after selecting the Thick Paper and Envelopes setting,
select the Short Grain Paper setting in the Extended Settings of the printer software.
• Remove each sheet from the output tray as it is printed.
• Avoid handling printouts on glossy paper right after printing to allow the ink to set.
• Turn off any high speed settings in your product software.
• If you print on both sides of a sheet of paper, smudges may appear on the reverse side of heavily
saturated or dark images. If one side of a sheet will contain a lighter image or text, print that side first.
Adjust the Print Density and/or Increase Ink Drying Time settings.
• If printed copies are smeared, lower the copy density setting on the product control panel.

Grainy Printout
If your printouts are grainy, try these solutions:
• Make sure you loaded the printable side of the paper correctly for your product.
• Select a higher print quality setting and turn off any high speed settings in your product software.
• Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if
necessary.
• Align the print head.
• 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 in an image-editing program, you need to increase the resolution setting to
retain a high image quality. Increase the resolution by the same amount you increased the image size.
221
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.
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 Black/Grayscale or Grayscale setting is not selected in your printer software.
• If you selected Standard-Vivid (Windows) or Normal-Vivid (OS X) as the quality setting in the printer
software, try selecting Standard (Windows) or Normal (OS X) instead.
• Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if
necessary.
• The ink cartridges may be old or low on ink, and you may need to replace them.
• 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.
• 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.
222
• For best results, use genuine Epson ink and paper.

Symbol Sets
Your product can access a variety of symbol sets. Many of these symbol sets differ only in the
international characters specific to each language.
Note: Since most software handles fonts and symbols automatically, you may never need to adjust your
product settings. However, if you write your own product control programs, or if you use older software
that cannot control fonts, refer to these tables for details on the symbol sets.
When you consider which font to use, also consider which symbol set to combine with the font. Available
symbol sets vary depending on the mode and font you choose.

General Printer Safety Instructions
• Be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the printer.
• Use only the type of power source indicated on the printer's label.
• Use only the power cord that comes with the printer. Use of another cord may cause fires or shock. Do
not use the cord with any other equipment.
• Make sure the AC power cord meets the relevant local safety standard.
• Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.
• Avoid plugging the printer into an outlet on the same circuit as a photo copier or air control system that
regularly switches on and off, or on an outlet controlled by a wall switch or timer.
• Do not let the power cord become damaged or frayed.
• If you use an extension cord with the printer, make sure the total ampere rating of the devices plugged
into the extension cord does not exceed the cord's ampere rating. Also, make sure the total ampere
rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet's ampere rating.
• Always turn off the printer using the power button, and wait until the power light stops flashing before
unplugging the printer or cutting off power to the electrical outlet.
• Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond its base in all directions. It will not
operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle.
• Make sure the back of the printer is at least 4 inches (10 cm) away from the wall.
• Leave enough space in front of the printer for the paper to be fully ejected.
• Avoid locations that are subject to rapid changes in heat or humidity, shocks or vibrations, or dust.
247
• Do not place the printer near a radiator or heating vent or in direct sunlight.
• Leave enough room around the printer for sufficient ventilation. Do not block or cover openings in the
case or insert objects through the slots.
• Keep the printer away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or
the base units of cordless telephones.
• Do not touch the flat white cable inside the printer.
• Do not move the print head by hand; this may damage the printer.
• Do not spill liquid on the printer and do not handle the printer with wet hands.
• Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the printer. Doing so may
cause fire.
• Except as specifically explained in your documentation, do not attempt to service the printer yourself.
• Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: if
the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered the product; if the product has been dropped
or the case damaged; if the product does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in
performance. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions.
• If damage occurs to the plug, replace the cord set or consult a qualified electrician. If there are fuses in
the plug, make sure you replace them with fuses of the correct size and rating.
• Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet if you are not going to use the printer for an extended
period.
• Leave the ink cartridges installed. Removing the cartridges can dehydrate the print head and may
prevent the printer from printing.
• Before transporting the printer, make sure that the print head is in the home (far right) position and the
ink cartridges are in place.
• When storing or transporting the printer, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it upside down;
otherwise ink may leak.

Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions
• Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.
248
• Keep the maintenance box 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 off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them
immediately with water.
• 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.
• Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. This may prevent normal operation.
• Do not shake cartridges after opening their packages; this can cause them to leak.
• If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, recap the ink cartridge using the cap that came with it to
prevent the ink from drying out and to protect the surrounding area from getting smeared by ink.
• Use an ink cartridge before the date printed on its package.
• Do not dismantle an ink cartridge. This could damage the print head.
• Do not disassemble the ink cartridges or maintenance box; you may get ink in your eyes or on your
skin.
• Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place.
• After bringing an ink cartridge inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature
for at least three hours before using it.

LCD Screen Safety Instructions
• Use only a dry, soft cloth to clean the LCD screen. Do not use liquid or chemical cleansers.
• If the LCD screen is damaged, contact Epson. If the liquid crystal solution gets on your hands, wash
them thoroughly with soap and water. If the liquid crystal solution gets into your eyes, flush them
immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a doctor
immediately.
• Do not press too hard on the LCD screen.
• Do not use a pointy or sharp object, such as a pen or your fingernail, to operate the LCD screen.
