To achieve high-quality printouts with genuine Epson paper, use the paper in the environment stated on the
sheets supplied with the paper.
Fan and align the edges of the paper before loading. Do not fan or curl photo paper. Doing so may damage the
printable side.
If the paper is curled or folded, atten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on
curled or folded paper may cause paper feeding problems and smears on the printouts.
Paper feed problems may occur frequently for manual 2-sided printing when printing on one side of pre-
printed paper. Reduce the number of sheets to half or less, or load one sheet of paper at a time if paper jams
continue.
Fan and align the edges of the envelopes before loading. When the stacked envelopes are
pued

e ink itself can dry out if it is not covered. Just like placing a cap on a fountain pen or an oil pen to prevent it
from drying, make sure the print head is capped properly to prevent the ink from drying.
When the power cord is unplugged or a power outage occurs while the printer is in operation, the print head may
not be capped properly. If the print head is le as it is, it will dry out causing nozzles (ink outlets) to clog.

Updating the Printer's Firmware Using the Control Panel
If the printer is connected to the Internet, you can update the printer's
rmware
using the control panel. By
updating the rmware, the printer's performance may improve, or new functions may be added. You can also set
the printer to regularly check for rmware updates and notify you if any are available.
1. Select Settings on the home screen.
2. Select Firmware Update > Update.
Note:
Enable Notication to set the printer to regularly check for available rmware updates.
3. Check the message displayed on the screen and select Start Checking.
4.
Check the message displayed on the screen, select Start, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
e rmware is updated when new rmware is found. Once the update has started, it cannot be interrupted.
c
Important:
Do not turn o or unplug the printer until the update is complete. Doing so may result in malfunction of the
printer.
If the rmware update is not completed or is unsuccessful, the printer does not start up normally and
"Recovery Mode" is displayed on the LCD screen the next time the printer is turned on. In this situation, you
need to update the rmware again using a computer. Connect the printer to the computer with a USB cable.
While "Recovery Mode" is displayed on the printer, you cannot update the rmware over a network
connection. On the computer, access your local Epson website, and then download the latest printer
rmware. See the instructions on the website for the next steps.

Ink Cartridge Handling Precautions
Read the following instructions before replacing ink cartridges.
Storing precautions for ink cartridges
Keep the ink cartridges out of direct sunlight.
Do not store the ink cartridges in high or freezing temperatures.
For best results, Epson recommends using up ink cartridges before the best before date printed on the package,
or within six months of opening the package, whichever is earlier.
For best results, store ink cartridge packages with their bottom down.
Aer 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.
Do not open the ink cartridge package until you are ready to install it in the printer. e cartridge is vacuum
packed to maintain its reliability. If you leave a cartridge unpacked for a long time before using it, normal
printing may not be possible.
Handling precautions for replacing ink cartridges
Be careful not to break the hooks on the side of the ink cartridge when you remove it from the package.
Do not shake cartridges aer opening the package, as they may leak.

background
You must remove the yellow tape from the cartridge before installing it; otherwise, print quality may decline or
you may not be able to print. Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this can cause leakage.
Do not remove the transparent seal from the bottom of the cartridge; otherwise, the cartridge may become
unusable.
Do not touch the sections shown in the illustration. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing.
Do not replace ink cartridge with the power
o.
Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may
damage the printer.

background
Do not turn o the printer during ink charging. If the ink charging is incomplete, you may not be able to print.
Do not leave the printer with the ink cartridge removed or do not turn o the printer during cartridge
replacement. Otherwise, ink remaining in the print head nozzles will dry out and you may not be able to print.
If you need to remove an ink cartridge temporarily, make sure you protect the ink supply area from dirt and
dust. Store the ink cartridge in the same environment as the printer, with the ink supply port facing down or
sideways. Do not store ink cartridges with the ink supply port facing up. Because the ink supply port is
equipped with a valve designed to contain the release of excess ink, there is no need to supply your own covers
or plugs.
Removed ink cartridge may have ink around the ink supply port, so be careful not to get any ink on the
surrounding area when removing the cartridges.
is printer uses ink cartridges equipped with a green chip that monitors information such as the amount of
remaining ink for each cartridge.
is
means that even if the cartridge is removed from the printer before it is
expended, you can still use the cartridge aer reinserting it back into the printer. However, when reinserting a
cartridge, some ink may be consumed to guarantee printer performance.
For maximum ink
eciency,
only remove an ink cartridge when you are ready to replace it. Ink cartridges with
low ink status may not be used when reinserted.
To ensure you receive premium print quality and to help protect your print head, a variable ink safety reserve
remains in the cartridge when your printer indicates to replace the cartridge. e yields quoted for you do not
include this reserve.
Do not disassemble or remodel the ink cartridge, otherwise you may not be able to print normally.
You cannot use the cartridge that came with the printer for the replacement.
Ink consumption
To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from the cartridge during maintenance
operations. Ink may also be consumed when you replace ink cartridge or turn the printer on.
e ink in the ink cartridge supplied with your printer is partly used during initial setup. In order to produce
high quality printouts, the print head in your printer will be fully charged with ink. is one-o process
consumes a quantity of ink and therefore this cartridge may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink
cartridges.
Quoted yields may vary depending on the images that you are printing, the paper type that you are using, the
frequency of your prints and environmental conditions such as temperature.
Replacing Ink Cartridges
When a message is displayed prompting you to replace the ink cartridges, select How To and then view the
animations displayed on the control panel to learn how to replace the ink cartridges.
If you need to replace the ink cartridges before they are expended, select Maintenance > Ink Cartridge
Replacement on the home screen, and then follow the on-screen instructions. Select Next for details.

Caution:
Be careful not to trap your hand or
ngers
when opening or closing the scanner unit. Otherwise you may be injured.

It is Time to Replace the Maintenance Box
Maintenance Box Handling Precautions
Read the following instructions before replacing the maintenance box.
Do not touch the green chip on the side of the maintenance box. Doing so may prevent normal operation and
printing.
Do not tilt the used maintenance box until
aer
it is sealed in the plastic bag; otherwise ink may leak.
Keep the maintenance box out of direct sunlight.
Do not store the maintenance box in high or freezing temperatures.
Do not replace the maintenance box during printing; otherwise, ink may leak.
Do not remove the maintenance box and its cover except when replacing the maintenance box; otherwise ink
may leak.
When the cover cannot be reattached, the maintenance box may not be installed correctly. Remove the
maintenance box, and re-install it.
Do not reuse a maintenance box which has been removed and le detached for a long period. Ink inside the box
will have
solidied
and no more ink can be absorbed.
Do not touch the openings in the maintenance box as you may get smeared with ink.
Replacing a Maintenance Box
In some print cycles a very small amount of surplus ink may be collected in the maintenance box. To prevent ink
leakage from the maintenance box, the printer is designed to stop printing when the absorbing capacity of the
maintenance box has reached its limit. Whether and how oen this is required will vary according to the number
of pages you print, the type of material that you print and the number of cleaning cycles that the printer performs.
When a message is displayed prompting you to replace the maintenance box, refer to the animations displayed on
the control panel. e need for replacement of the box does not mean that your printer has ceased to operate in
accordance with its specications. e Epson warranty does not cover the cost of this replacement. It is a user-
serviceable part.

Cannot Solve Printing Problems
If you cannot solve printing or copying problems, try the following solutions in order starting at the top until you
solve the problem.
Make sure you match the paper type loaded in the printer and the paper type set on the printer to the paper
type settings in the printer driver.
“Paper Size and Type Settings” on page 29
Use a higher quality setting on the control panel or the printer driver.
Reinstall the ink cartridge already installed in the printer.
Reinstalling the ink cartridge may clear clogging in the print head nozzles and allow the ink to ow smoothly.
However, because the ink is consumed when the ink cartridge is reinstalled, a message asking you to replace the
ink cartridge may be displayed depending on the amount of ink remaining.
“It is Time to Replace the Ink Cartridges” on page 198
Align the print head.
“Aligning the Print Head” on page 127
Run a nozzle check to see if the print head nozzles are clogged.
If there are missing segments in the nozzle check pattern, the nozzles may be clogged. Repeat head cleaning and
the nozzle check alternately 3 times and check if the clogging has cleared.
Note that print head cleaning uses some ink.
“Checking and Cleaning the Print Head” on page 126
Turn o the printer, wait for at least 12 hours, and then check if the clogging has cleared.
If the problem is clogging, leaving the printer for a while without printing may solve the problem.
You can check the following items while the printer is o.
Check that you are using genuine Epson ink cartridges.
Try to use genuine Epson ink cartridges. e use of non-genuine ink cartridges may cause print quality to
decline.
“Ink Cartridge Codes” on page 243
Make sure that there are no paper fragments le inside the printer.
When you remove the paper, do not touch the translucent lm with your hand or the paper.

“Paper Handling Precautions” on page 29
“Available Paper and Capacities” on page 241
“Unavailable Paper Types” on page 243
Make sure that you are not using an old ink cartridge.
For best results, Epson recommends using up ink cartridges before the best before date printed on the package,
or within six months of opening the package, whichever is earlier.

About Wi-Fi Direct
Use this connection method when you are not using Wi-Fi at home or at the oce, or when you want to connect
the printer and the computer or smart device directly. In this mode, the printer acts as an wireless router and you
can connect the devices to the printer without having to use a standard wireless router. However, devices directly
connected to the printer cannot communicate with each other through the printer.
e printer can be connected by Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) connection simultaneously.
However, if you start a network connection in Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) connection when the printer is connected
by Wi-Fi, the Wi-Fi is temporarily disconnected.
Connecting to Devices using Wi-Fi Direct
is method allows you to connect the printer directly to devices without a wireless router.
Note:
For iOS or Android users, it is convenient to set up from Epson Smart Panel.

Connecting the Printer to the Network
You can connect the printer to the network in several ways.
Connect by using advanced settings on the control panel.
Connect by using the installer on the website or on the soware disc.
is section explains the procedure to connect the printer to the network using the printer's control panel.
Before Making Network Connection
To connect to the network, check the connection method and setting information for connection in advance.
Gathering Information on the Connection Setting
Prepare the necessary setting information to connect. Check the following information in advance.
Divisions Items Note
Device connection
method
Ethernet
Wi-Fi
Decide how to connect the printer to the network.
For Wired LAN, connects to the LAN switch.
For Wi-Fi, connects to the network (SSID) of the access point.
LAN connection
information
IP address
Subnet mask
Default gateway
Decide the IP address to assign to the printer.
When you assign the IP address statically, all values are required.
When you assign the IP address dynamically using the DHCP function,
this information is not required because it is set automatically.
Wi-Fi connection
information
SSID
Password
These are the SSID (network name) and the password of the access
point that the printer connects to.
If MAC address ltering has been set, register the MAC address of the
printer in advance to register the printer.
See the following for the supported standards.
“Wi-Fi Specications” on page 277
DNS server information IP address for
primary DNS
IP address for
secondary DNS
These are required when specifying DNS servers. The secondary DNS
is set when the system has a redundant conguration and there is a
secondary DNS server.
If you are in a small organization and do not set the DNS server, set
the IP address of the router.
Proxy server
information
Proxy server name Set this when your network environment uses the proxy server to
access the internet from the intranet, and you use the function that
the printer directly accesses to the internet.

IP Address Assignment
ese are the following types of IP address assignment.
Static IP address:
Assign the predetermined IP address to the printer (host) manually.
e information to connect to the network (subnet mask, default gateway, DNS server and so on) need to be set
manually.
e IP address does not change even when the device is turned o, so this is useful when you want to manage
devices with an environment where you cannot change the IP address or you want to manage devices using the IP
address. We recommend settings to the printer, server, etc. that many computers access.
Automatic assignment by using DHCP function (dynamic IP address):
Assign the IP address automatically to the printer (host) by using the DHCP function of the DHCP server or
router.
e information to connect to the network (subnet mask, default gateway, DNS server and so on) is set
automatically, so you can easily connect the device to the network.
If the device or the router is turned o, or depending on the DHCP server settings, IP address may change when
re-connecting.
We recommend managing devices other than the IP address and communicating with protocols that can follow
the IP address.
Note:
When you use the IP address reservation function of the DHCP, you can assign the same IP address to the devices at any
time.
DNS Server and Proxy Server
e
DNS server has a host name, domain name of the email address, etc. in association with the IP address
information.
Communication is impossible if the other party is described by host name, domain name, etc. when the computer
or the printer performs IP communication.
Queries the DNS server for that information and gets the IP address of the other party.
is
process is called name
resolution.
erefore,
the devices such as computers and printers can communicate using the IP address.
Name resolution is necessary for the printer to communicate using the email function or Internet connection
function.
When you use those functions, make the DNS server settings.

computer, printer, and Internet (opposite server) on behalf of each of them. e opposite server communicates
only to the proxy server. erefore, printer information such as the IP address and port number cannot be read
and increased security is expected.
When you connect to the Internet via a proxy server, congure the proxy server on the printer.
Connecting to the Network from the Control Panel

Security Settings and Prevention of Danger
When a printer is connected to a network, you can access it from a remote location. In addition, many people can
share the printer, which is helpful in improving operational eciency and convenience. However, risks such as
illegal access, illegal use, and tampering with data are increased. If you use the printer in an environment where
you can access the Internet, the risks are even higher.
For printers that do not have access protection from the outside, it will be possible to read the print job logs that
are stored in the printer from the Internet.
In order to avoid this risk, Epson printers have a variety of security technologies.
Set the printer as necessary according to the environmental conditions that have been built with the customer's
environment information.

is is a certicate signed by the CA (Certicate Authority.) You can obtain it to apply to the Certicate
Authority. is certicate certies the existence of the printer is and used for SSL/TLS communication so that
you can ensure the safety of data communication.
CA Certicate
is is a certicate that is in chain of the CA-signed Certicate, also called the intermediate CA certicate. It is
used by the web browser to validate the path of the printer's
certicate
when accessing the server of the other
party or Web
Cong.
For the CA
Certicate,
set when to validate the path of server
certicate
accessing from the printer. For the
printer, set to certify the path of the CA-signed Certicate for SSL/TLS connection.
You can obtain the CA certicate of the printer from the Certication Authority where the CA certicate is
issued.
Also, you can obtain the CA certicate used to validate the server of the other party from the Certication
Authority that issued the CA-signed
Certicate
of the other server.
Self-signed Certicate
is is a certicate that the printer signs and issues itself. It is also called the root certicate. Because the issuer
certies itself, it is not reliable and cannot prevent impersonation.
Use it when making the security setting and performing simple SSL/TLS communication without the CA-
signed Certicate.
If you use this
certicate
for an SSL/TLS communication, a security alert may be displayed on a web browser
because the certicate is not registered on a web browser. You can use the Self-signed Certicate only for an
SSL/TLS communication.

Conguring a CA-signed Certicate
Obtaining a CA-signed
Certicate
To obtain a CA-signed certicate, create a CSR (Certicate Signing Request) and apply it to certicate authority.
You can create a CSR using Web
Cong
and a computer.
Follow the steps to create a CSR and obtain a CA-signed certicate using Web Cong. When creating a CSR using
Web Cong, a certicate is the PEM/DER format.
1. Enter the printer's IP address into a browser to access Web Cong.
Enter the printer's IP address from a computer that is connected to the same network as the printer.
You can check the IP address of the printer from the following menu.
Settings > General Settings > Network Settings > Network Status > Wired LAN/Wi-Fi Status
2.
Enter the administrator password to log in as an administrator.
3. Select in the following order.
Network Security tab > SSL/TLS >
Certicate
Whatever you choose, you can obtain the same certicate and use it in common.
4.
Click Generate of CSR.
A CSR creating page is opened.
5.
Enter a value for each item.
Note:
Available key length and abbreviations vary by a certicate authority. Create a request according to rules of each
certicate authority.
6. Click OK.
A completion message is displayed.
7. Select the Network Security tab > SSL/TLS > Certicate.
8. Click one of the download buttons of CSR according to a specied format by each certicate authority to
download a CSR to a computer.
c
Important:
Do not generate a CSR again. If you do so, you may not be able to import an issued CA-signed Certicate.
9. Send the CSR to a certicate authority and obtain a CA-signed Certicate.
Follow the rules of each
certicate
authority on sending method and form.
10. Save the issued CA-signed Certicate to a computer connected to the printer.
Obtaining a CA-signed Certicate is complete when you save a certicate to a destination.
