☐ Use only the power cord supplied with the printer and do not use the cord with any other equipment. Use of other cords with this printer or the use of the supplied power cord with other equipment may result in fire or electric shock.
☐ Be sure your AC power cord meets the relevant local safety standard.
☐ Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the power cord, plug, printer unit, or options by yourself, except as specifically explained in the printer's manuals.
☐ 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 casing damaged; the printer does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Do not adjust controls that are not covered by the operating instructions.

Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.
☐ 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.
☐ Take care not to spill liquid on the printer and not to handle the printer with wet hands.
- Keep the printer at least 22 cm away from cardiac pacemakers. Radio waves from this printer may adversely affect the operation of cardiac pacemakers.

Printer Advisories and Warnings

Read and follow these instructions to avoid damaging the printer or your property. Make sure you keep this manual for future reference.

Advisories and Warnings for Setting Up/Using the Printer

☐ Do not block or cover the vents and openings in the printer.
☐ Use only the type of power source indicated on the printer's label.
☐ Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.
☐ Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers.
- Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.
☐ 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 and the points where they enter and leave the transformer.
☐ If you use an extension cord with the printer, make sure that the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord's ampere rating. Also, make sure that the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet's ampere rating.
☐ If you plan to use the printer in Germany, the building installation must be protected by a 10 or 16 amp circuit breaker to provide adequate short-circuit protection and over-current protection for the printer.
☐ 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.
Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base of the printer in all directions. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted at an angle.
☐ When storing or transporting the printer, avoid tilting it, placing it vertically, or turning it upside down; otherwise ink may leak.
☐ Leave enough space in front of the printer for the paper to be fully ejected.
☐ Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Also, keep the printer away from direct sunlight, strong light, or heat sources.
☐ Do not insert objects through the slots in the printer.

Important Instructions

☐ Do not put your hand inside the printer during printing.
☐ Do not touch the white flat cable inside the printer.
☐ Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the printer. Doing so may cause fire.
☐ Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may damage the printer.
□ Always turn the printer off using the ⏻ button. Do not unplug the printer or turn off the power at the outlet until the ⏻ light stops flashing.
Before transporting the printer, make sure that the print head is in the home (far right) position and the ink cartridges are in place.
☐ If you are not going to use the printer for a long period, be sure to unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

Advisories and Warnings for Using the Printer with a Wireless Connection

☐ Radio waves from this printer may negatively affect the operation of medical electronic equipment, causing them to malfunction. When using this printer inside medical facilities or near medical equipment, follow directions from the authorized personnel representing the medical facilities, and follow all posted warnings and directions on the medical equipment.
☐ Radio waves from this printer may negatively affect the operation of automatically controlled devices such as automatic doors or fire alarms, and could lead to accidents due to malfunction. When using this printer near automatically controlled devices, follow all posted warnings and directions on these devices.

Advisories and Warnings for Using the LCD Screen

☐ The LCD screen may contain a few small bright or dark spots, and because of its features it may have an uneven brightness. These are normal and do not indicate that it is damaged in any way.
☐ Only use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or chemical cleaners.
☐ The exterior cover of the LCD screen could break if it receives a heavy impact. Contact your dealer if the screen's surface chips or cracks, and do not touch or attempt to remove the broken pieces.

Paper Handling Precautions

☐ Read the instruction 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, flatten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on curled paper may cause paper jams and smears on the printout.

☐ Do not use paper that is wavy, torn, cut, folded, damp, too thick, too thin, or paper that has stickers stuck to it. Using these types of paper causes paper jams and smears on the printout.
☐ Make sure you are using long-grain paper. If you are not sure what type of paper you are using, check the paper packaging or contact the manufacturer to confirm the paper specifications.
☐ Fan and align the edges of the envelopes before loading. When the stacked envelopes are puffed up with air, press them down to flatten them before loading.

☐ Do not use envelopes that are curled or folded. Using these envelopes causes paper jams and smears on the printout.
☐ Do not use envelopes with adhesive surfaces on the flaps or window envelopes.
☐ Avoid using envelopes that are too thin, as they may curl during printing.

Ink Cartridge Codes

Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson ink cartridges. Epson cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-genuine ink. The use of non-genuine ink may cause damage that is not covered by Epson's warranties, and under certain circumstances, may cause erratic printer behavior. Information about non-genuine ink levels may not be displayed.

The following are the codes for genuine Epson ink cartridges.

Product	Black	Cyan	Magenta	Yellow
WF-6090	T9081	T9082	T9083	T9084
	T9071	T9072	T9073	T9074
WF-6091	T7521	T7522	T7523	T7524

Note:

☐ Not all cartridges are available in all regions.
☐ For users in Europe, visit the following website for information on Epson's ink cartridge yields. http://www.epson.eu/pageyield

Ink Cartridge Handling Precautions

Read the following instructions before replacing ink cartridges.

Handling precautions

☐ Store ink cartridges at normal room temperature and keep them away from direct sunlight.
☐ Epson recommends using the ink cartridge before the date printed on the package.
☐ For best results, use up ink cartridge within six months of installation.
☐ After 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 touch the sections shown in the illustration. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing.

☐ Install all ink cartridges; otherwise you cannot print.
☐ Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may damage the printer.
☐ Do not turn off 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 cartridges removed; otherwise, ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out and you may not be able to print.

Replacing Ink Cartridges and Other Consumables

☐ 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. 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 cartridges may have ink around the ink supply port, so be careful not to get any ink on the surrounding area when removing the cartridges.
☐ This printer uses ink cartridges equipped with a green chip that monitors information such as the amount of remaining ink for each cartridge. This means that even if the cartridge is removed from the printer before it is expended, you can still use the cartridge after reinserting it back into the printer.
☐ 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. The yields quoted for you do not include this reserve.
☐ Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled materials, this does not affect printer function or performance.
☐ Specifications and appearance of the ink cartridge are subject to change without prior notice for improvement.
☐ Do not disassemble or remodel the ink cartridge, otherwise you may not be able to print normally.
☐ Do not drop or knock it against hard objects; otherwise, the ink may leak.
☐ You cannot use the cartridges that came with the printer for the replacement.
☐ 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.

Consumption of Ink

☐ To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all cartridges not only during printing but also during maintenance operations such as print head cleaning.
☐ When printing in monochrome or grayscale, color inks instead of black ink may be used depending on the paper type or print quality settings. This is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.
☐ The ink in the ink cartridges 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. This one-off process consumes a quantity of ink and therefore these cartridges may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink cartridges.

Maintenance Box Code

Epson recommends the use of a genuine Epson maintenance box.

The following is the code for the genuine Epson maintenance box.

T6712

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 remove the film on the top of the box; otherwise ink may leak.
☐ Do not tilt the used maintenance box until after it is sealed in the plastic bag; otherwise ink may leak.
□ Keep the maintenance box out of direct sunlight.
☐ Do not replace the maintenance box during printing; otherwise, ink may leak.
☐ Do not reuse a maintenance box which has been removed and left detached for a long period. Ink inside the box will have solidified and no more ink can be absorbed.

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

Replacing Ink Cartridges and Other Consumables

maintenance box has reached its limit. Whether and how often 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. Replace the maintenance box when you are promoted to do so. The Epson Status Monitor, your LCD, or lights on the control panel will advise you when this part needs replacing. The need for replacement of the box does not mean that your printer has ceased to operate in accordance with its specifications. The Epson warranty does not cover the cost of this replacement. It is a user-serviceable part.

1. Remove the new maintenance box from its package.

Important:

☐ Do not touch the green chip on the side of the maintenance box. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing.
☐ Do not remove the film on the top of the box; otherwise ink may leak.

Checking and Cleaning the Print Head

If the nozzles are clogged, the printouts become faint, there is visible banding, or unexpected colors appear. When print quality has declined, use the nozzle check feature and check if the nozzles are clogged. If the nozzles are clogged, clean the print head. You can perform a nozzle check and head cleaning from the control panel or the computer.

Important:

Do not open the front cover or turn off the printer during head cleaning. If the head cleaning is incomplete, you may not be able to print.

Note:

☐ Because print head cleaning uses some ink, clean the print head only if quality declines.
☐ When ink is low, you may not be able to clean the print head. Replace the ink cartridge first.
☐ If print quality has not improved after repeating nozzle check and head cleaning about four times, wait for at least six hours without printing, and then run the nozzle check again and repeat the head cleaning if necessary. We recommend to turn off the printer. If print quality has still not improved, contact Epson support.
☐ To prevent the print head from drying out, always turn the printer off by pressing the ⏻ button.
☐ To keep the print head operating at its best, we recommend printing a few pages on a regular basis.

Note:

If the rear paper feed has a paper feed problem and if you have a cleaning sheet that came with Epson genuine paper, you may be able to solve the paper feed problem by using the cleaning sheet instead of using A4-size plain paper. When using the cleaning sheet, load the sheet in the rear paper feed following the instructions that came with the sheet. If a paper setup screen is displayed, leave the paper settings as they are.
