•
Connect the printer to a properly grounded outlet. Avoid using an
outlet on the same circuit as a photocopier or air control system that
regularly switches on and off.
• Avoid using electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or timers.
• Use only the power cord that comes with the printer. Use of another
cord may result in fire or electric shock.
• The printer’s power cord is designed for use with the printer only. Using
it with other equipment may result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not use a damaged or frayed power cord.
• If you use an extension cord with the printer, make sure the total ampere
rating of 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.
• Do not block or cover the openings in the printer’s case.
• Do not put your hand inside the printer or touch the ink cartridges
during printing.
• Do not move the print head by hand unless instructed to do so by an
Epson service technician; otherwise you may damage the printer.
• Do not insert objects through the slots. Take care not to spill liquid on
the printer.
• Do not attempt to service the printer yourself.
• Power down the printer from the control panel, unplug the printer, and
refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the printer; the
printer has been dropped or the cabinet damaged; the printer does not
operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance.
• Before transporting the printer, make sure the print head is in the far
right (home) position.
Caution: Always turn
the printer off using the
P power button. When
you press this button,
POWER OFF appears on
the LCD screen and the
P power light flashes.
Do not unplug the printer
or turn off the power to
the printer until the panel
shuts off and the
P power light stops
flashing. This ensures
that the print head is
safely capped.
