Maintenance Precautions
Before handling ink cartridges, cleaning cartridges, ink cleaner, secondary carriage rod
grease, or waste ink, read the Safety data sheet, available on the Epson website.
❏ Remove the media from the printer before proceeding.
❏ Complete the task within 10 minutes to prevent the print head drying out. An alarm will
sound after 10 minutes.
❏ Never touch the belts, circuit boards, or any parts that do not require cleaning. Failure
to observe this precaution could result in malfunction or reduced print quality.
❏ Use only the supplied cleaning sticks or sticks contained in maintenance kit. Other
types of stick that produce lint will damage the print head.
❏ Always use fresh cleaning sticks. Re-using sticks can make stains even harder to
remove.
❏ Do not touch the tips of the sticks. Oil from your hands could damage the print head.

Caution:
❏ Store ink cartridges, cleaning cartridges, ink cleaner, secondary carriage rod grease,
or waste ink in a location out of reach of children.
❏ During maintenance, wear protective clothing, including protective eyewear, gloves,
and a mask.
Should fluid such as ink or waste ink contact your skin or enter your eyes or mouth,
immediately take the following actions:
❏ If fluid adheres to your skin, immediately wash it off using large volumes of soapy
water. Consult a physician if the skin appears irritated or is discolored.
❏ If fluid enters your eyes, rinse immediately with water. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in bloodshot eyes or mild inflammation. If problems persist,
consult with a physician.
❏ If fluid enters your mouth, consult a physician immediately.
❏ If fluid is swallowed, do not force the person to vomit, and consult with a physician
immediately. If the person is forced to vomit, fluid may get caught in the trachea
which can be dangerous.
❏ After replacing the waste ink bottle or using the ink cleaner, wash your hands
thoroughly.
