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
results, set up and use a private IP address for your network connection.
• Change the default administrator password on your product
If your product has the option to set an administrator password, change the default administrator
password to deter access by unauthorized users to personal data stored on your product, such as IDs,
passwords, and contact lists.

Wi-Fi Direct Mode Setup
You can set up your product to communicate directly with your computer or another device without
requiring a wireless router or access point. In Wi-Fi Direct Mode, the product itself acts as a network
access point for up to 8 devices.
1 Epson product
2 Computer with a wireless interface
3 Other wireless device
49
Note: The product normally uses W52 (36ch) as the channel when connecting to Wi-Fi Direct (Simple
AP). Since the channel for wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) connection is selected automatically, the channel used
may differ when used at the same time as a Wi-Fi Direct connection. Sending data to the printer may be
delayed if the channels are different. If it does not interfere with use, connect to the SSID in the 2.4 GHz
band. In the 2.4 GHz frequency band, the channels used will match.
When setting the wireless LAN to 5 GHz, we recommend disabling Wi-Fi Direct.

Replacing Ink Supply Units (Ink Packs), Maintenance Boxes,
and Cassette Rollers
When ink packs are expended, or the maintenance box and cassette rollers are at the end of their
service life, you need to replace them. The maintenance box stores ink that gets flushed from the system
during print head cleaning.
Note: Please dispose of your used Epson branded ink packs and maintenance boxes responsibly and in
accordance with local requirements. If you would like to return your used ink packs and maintenance
boxes to Epson for proper disposal, please go to epson.com/recycle for more information.

Ink Pack Safety Instructions
• Keep ink packs and maintenance boxes out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.
• Be careful when you handle used ink packs; 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. If discomfort or vision problems continue after a thorough flushing, see a doctor
immediately. If ink gets in your mouth, see a doctor right away.
• Do not put your hand inside the product or touch the ink packs during printing.
• Install a new ink pack immediately after removing an expended one. Leaving ink packs uninstalled can
dry out the print head and may prevent the product from printing.
• Install all ink packs; otherwise you cannot print.
• If you need to remove an ink pack temporarily, make sure you protect the ink pack from dirt and dust.
Store the ink pack in the same environment as the printer. Because the ink supply port is equipped
140
with a valve designed to contain the release of excess ink, there is no need to supply your own covers
or plugs.
• Do not remove or tear the label on the ink pack; this can cause leakage.
• Do not remove the transparent seal from the ink supply area. This may cause the ink pack to become
unusable.
• Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the handle. This may prevent normal operation.
• Do not shake ink packs too vigorously; otherwise ink may leak.
• Do not drop or knock the ink pack against hard objects; otherwise ink may leak.
• Use an ink pack before the date printed on its package.
• Store ink packs in a cool, dark place.
• Keep the ink packs out of direct sunlight.
• Do not store ink packs in high or freezing temperatures.
• After bringing an ink pack inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for
at least 12 hours before using it.
• Store ink packs with the bottom facing down.
• To help protect your print head, a variable ink safety reserve remains in the ink supply unit when your
printer notifies you to replace the ink pack. The yields quoted for you do not include this reserve.
• You cannot use the ink packs supplied with the product as replacement ink packs. They must be used
for initial setup.

Purchase Epson Ink Packs and Maintenance Boxes
You can purchase genuine Epson ink, maintenance boxes, and paper at epson.com (U.S. sales) or
epson.ca (Canadian sales). You can also purchase supplies from an Epson authorized reseller. To find
the nearest one, call 800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766) in the U.S. or 800-807-7766 in Canada.
Note: Your printer is designed to work only with genuine Epson-brand ink packs. Other brands of ink
packs and ink supplies are not compatible and, even if described as compatible, may not function
properly or at all. Epson periodically provides firmware updates to address issues of security,
performance, minor bug fixes and ensure the printer functions as designed. These updates may affect
the functionality of third-party ink. Non-Epson branded or altered Epson ink packs that functioned prior to
a firmware update may not continue to function.
The included initial ink packs are designed for reliable printer setup and cannot be used as replacement
ink packs or resold. After setup, the remaining ink is available for printing. Yields are based on ISO
24711 in default mode, printing continuously. Yields vary due to print images, settings, and
temperatures. Printing infrequently or primarily with one color reduces yields. All ink packs must be
installed with ink for printing and printer maintenance. For print quality, some ink remains in replaced ink
packs.

146
Note: If necessary, select the icon on the LCD, then select How To > Replace Maintenance Box and

will vary according to the number of pages you print, the type of material you print on and the number of
cleaning cycles that the printer performs.

• Do not remove the maintenance box or its cover except when replacing the maintenance box;
otherwise, ink may leak.
• Do not touch the green chip on the side of the maintenance box.
• Do not tilt the maintenance box after removing it or ink may leak.
• Do not touch the openings in the maintenance box or you may get ink on you.
• Do not drop the maintenance box or subject it to strong shocks.

About Digital Certification
You can configure the following digital certificates for your network using Web Config:
CA-signed Certificate
You can ensure secure communications using a CA-signed certificate for each security feature. The
certificates must be signed by and obtained from a CA (Certificate Authority).
CA Certificate
A CA certificate indicates that a third party has verified the identity of a server. You need to obtain a
CA certificate for server authentication from a CA that issues it.
Self-signed Certificate
A self-signed certificate is issued and signed by the product itself. You can use the certificate for only
SSL/TLS communication, however security is unreliable and you may see a security alert in the
browser during use.
Parent topic: Using a Digital Certificate
Obtaining and Importing a CA-signed Certificate
You can obtain a CA-signed certificate by creating a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) using Web
Config and submitting it to a certificate authority. The CSR created in Web Config is in PEM/DER format.
You can import one CSR created from Web Config at a time.

• 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
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.
236
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.

• 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.
• For best results, use genuine Epson paper.

Ink Pack Specifications
Note: Your printer is designed to work only with genuine Epson-brand ink packs. Other brands of ink
packs and ink supplies are not compatible and, even if described as compatible, may not function
properly or at all. Epson periodically provides firmware updates to address issues of security,
performance, minor bug fixes and ensure the printer functions as designed. These updates may affect
the functionality of third-party ink. Non-Epson branded or altered Epson ink packs that functioned prior to
a firmware update may not continue to function.
The included initial ink packs are designed for reliable printer setup and cannot be used as replacement
ink packs or resold. After setup, the remaining ink is available for printing. Yields are based on ISO
24711 in default mode, printing continuously. Yields vary due to print images, settings, and
temperatures. Printing infrequently or primarily with one color reduces yields. All ink packs must be
installed with ink for printing and printer maintenance. For print quality, some ink remains in replaced ink
packs.

Parent topic: Notices
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.
251
• 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.
• Keep your product at least 8.7 inches (22 cm) away from cardiac pacemakers to prevent your
product's radio waves from affecting the operation of the pacemaker.
• 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.
• 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.
• The power-supply cords should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do
not place objects on top of the power-supply cords and do not allow the power-supply cords to be
stepped on or run over. Be particularly careful to keep all the power-supply cords straight at the ends.
• Keep the printer away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or
the base units of cordless telephones.
• Do not place or store the printer outdoors, near excessive dirt or dust, water, heat sources, or in
locations subject to shocks, vibrations, high temperature or humidity.
• When connecting the printer to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the correct orientation
of the connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a connector in the wrong
orientation may damage both devices connected by the cable.
• Do not insert objects through the slots on the printer.
• Do not put your hand inside the printer while it is printing.
• 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.
252
• 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.
• Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the power cord, plug, printer, or options by yourself,
except as specifically explained in the printer's manuals.
• Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet if you are not going to use the printer for an extended
period.
• Before transporting the printer, make sure that the print head is in the home (far right) position and the
ink packs are installed.
• When storing or transporting the printer, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it upside down;
otherwise, ink may leak.

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
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, 3131 Katella Ave., Los
Alamitos, CA 90720 (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 [email protected] 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.
255
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
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 http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling
1-800-352-5267, 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.
256
(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.
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).
257
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.
