Before beginning assembly, make sure you have sufficient space to set up and use the printer. The following illustration shows the minimum space required for using the printer:

When choosing a place for the printer, leave adequate room for easy access and ventilation. Avoid locations subject to direct sunlight, excessive heat, humidity, or dust. Be sure the printer is placed on a flat, stable location that can support the following weight for each printer:

• SureColor T3070 - 112 lb (51 kg)
• SureColor T5070 - 165 lb (75 kg)
• SureColor T7070 - 180 lb (82 kg)

WARNING: Two people are required to unpack and install the SureColor T3070 printer; four people are recommended to unpack and install the SureColor T5070 or SureColor T7070 printer.

You need an even larger floor space to assemble the printer and stand, so be sure to prepare a large, clear area before unpacking them. Also make sure you save the box and packaging in case you need to ship the printer later.

The following items are included with your printer:

Note: For information on the optional hard disk and the Take up Reel, see the online User's Guide.

Mounting the Printer on the Stand

You need at least two people (SureColor T3070) or four people (SureColor T5070/T7070) to install the printer and position it on the stand. When lifting the printer, only hold the areas shown below. Otherwise, damage may occur.

Limited Warranty

1. Limited Warranty for Epson Products

Epson products are covered by warranty against defects in workmanship and materials when operated under normal use and handling conditions, as indicated in the product documentation, for the period specified in section “Limited Warranty Coverage”. Coverage begins as of the date of delivery to the purchaser by Epson or by an authorized Epson dealer (see “Epson Subsidiaries and Offices in Latin America Technical Support Service”), in the country of purchase.

Epson also guarantees that the consumables (ink cartridges, toner, batteries) included with the product, will perform according to the usage specifications as long as they are used prior to the expiration of their warranty period.

2. Scope of Warranty

Should Epson receive notice of a defect during the warranty period, it may, at its discretion, repair or replace the defective product at no cost to the purchaser. In the event of a replacement, the replaced equipment will become property of Epson. The replaced item may be new or previously repaired to the Epson standard of quality, and will assume the remaining warranty period of the product that was originally purchased.

This warranty does not include any compensation or damages whatsoever, resulting from the operating failures of the Epson product. In any event, Epson's maximum liability toward the purchaser will be limited to the purchase price paid to Epson or to the authorized dealer.

Epson's warranty does not cover any software not manufactured by Epson, even when delivered with an Epson product. The software may have a warranty provided by the manufacturer, as indicated in the documentation attached thereto.

3. Limitations and Exclusions

The warranty will be invalid in the following cases:

3.1 When the product's serial number has been removed or altered. 3.2 When the product has been misused, has undergone unauthorized modifications, has been used or stored in ways that are not in compliance with the environmental specifications of the product. 3.3 When the damage resulted from the use of refilled supplies or consumables, or when damages are the result of use of media that does not meet the product's specifications. 3.4 When damages resulted from the inappropriate transport of the equipment (packaging, installation, maintenance, transportation). 3.5 When damages were caused by natural or intentional disasters (fire, floods, lightning, earthquakes, etc.), power surges, or interaction with other brand products. 3.6 When the product has been totally or partially disassembled, or has been repaired other than by an Epson Authorized Service Center. 3.7 When substances have been spilled on the product. 3.8 When the external plastic case has been scratched or abused. 3.9 When damages resulted from inappropriate tests, installation, maintenance or adjustments.

The warranty does not extend to accessories (lids, covers, trays) or replenishing supplies and consumables (ink cartridges, toner, ink ribbons, batteries, photosensitive units, knobs, print heads, lamps), which, due to their nature, must be regularly purchased through authorized dealers.

4. How to Obtain Warranty Service

Please refer to the user documentation to ensure that the product settings have been properly set and to perform the diagnostic tests indicated therein. Furthermore, in order for the unit to operate optimally, always use original Epson supplies and consumables.

Upon calling an Authorized Epson Service Center, the purchaser will be asked to provide the product model and serial numbers, and may be asked to provide information on the location and the date of purchase (the warranty is only valid in the country of purchase).

If there are no Authorized Service Centers in your area, call the Technical Assistance Center for service referral.

5. Responsibilities of Purchaser

The purchaser is responsible for the safety of all confidential and proprietary information stored on the product, as well as for recovery backup files in case of damage. Any activity related with the re-installation or resetting of the software that was delivered with the equipment, will be billed to the purchaser at the rates in effect at the Epson Service Center. This also applies if the failure was the result of a defect in the purchaser's proprietary software or of a computer "virus".
