Safety Instructions

Read and follow these instructions to ensure safe use of this printer. Make sure you keep this manual for future reference. Also, be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the printer.

☐ 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, scanner 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.
☐ If the LCD screen is damaged, contact your dealer. If the liquid crystal solution gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If the liquid crystal solution gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.
□ Avoid using a telephone during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
☐ Do not use a telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
☐ The printer is heavy and should not be lifted or carried by less than two people. When lifting the printer, two or more people should assume the correct positions as shown below.

☐ If ink gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water.
☐ If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems continue after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.
☐ If ink gets into your mouth, see a doctor right away.
☐ Do not disassemble the ink supply unit and the maintenance box; otherwise ink may get into your eyes or on your skin.
☐ Do not shake ink supply units too vigorously; otherwise ink may leak from the ink supply units.
□ Keep ink supply units and maintenance box out of the reach of children.

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.
☐ Allow space above the printer so that you can fully raise the document cover.
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.

Important Instructions

☐ Do not insert objects through the slots in the printer.
☐ 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.
☐ Be careful not to trap your fingers when closing the document cover.
☐ Do not press too hard on the scanner glass when placing the originals.
□ 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 supply units are removed.
☐ 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.

☐ 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.

Two piles of papers with red prohibition symbols, indicating no restrictions on paper or documents.

☐ 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.

Ink Supply Unit Handling Precautions

Read the following instructions before replacing ink supply units.

Handling precautions

☐ Store ink supply units at normal room temperature and keep them away from direct sunlight.
☐ Epson recommends using the ink supply unit before the date printed on the package.
☐ For best results, store ink supply unit packages with their bottom down.
☐ After bringing an ink supply unit inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least 12 hours before using it.

Replacing Ink Supply Units and Other Consumables

☐ Do not remove the transparent seal from the ink supply area; otherwise the ink supply unit may become unusable.

Diagram showing a trash bin with a stopbell and a prohibition symbol indicating no waste or litter.

☐ Do not touch the sections shown in the illustration. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing.

Diagram showing a device with a switch and a prohibition symbol indicating no usage or disapproval.

☐ Install all ink supply units; otherwise you cannot print.

☐ 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 supply units removed; otherwise, ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out and you may not be able to print.

☐ If you need to remove an ink supply unit temporarily, make sure you protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust. Store the ink supply unit 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 supply units may have ink around the ink supply port, so be careful not to get any ink on the surrounding area when removing the ink supply units.

☐ This printer uses ink supply unit equipped with a green chip that monitors information such as the amount of remaining ink for each ink supply unit. This means that even if the ink supply unit is removed from the printer before it is expended, you can still use the ink supply unit 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 ink supply unit when your printer indicates to replace the ink supply unit. The yields quoted for you do not include this reserve.

☐ Although the ink supply units may contain recycled materials, this does not affect printer function or performance.

☐ Specifications and appearance of the ink supply unit are subject to change without prior notice for improvement.

☐ Do not disassemble or remodel the ink supply unit, otherwise you may not be able to print normally.

☐ Do not drop or knock the ink supply unit against hard objects; otherwise, the ink may leak.

☐ You cannot use the ink supply units 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.

Replacing Ink Supply Units and Other Consumables

Consumption of Ink

☐ To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all ink supply units 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.

Replacing Ink Supply Units

  1. Open the ink case.

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 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.

Note:

When it is full, you cannot print until the maintenance box is replaced to avoid ink leakage. However, you can perform operations such as sending faxes and saving data to an external USB device.

  1. Remove the new maintenance box from its package.

EPSON WorkForce Pro WF-R8590DTWF - Note: - 1

Important:

☐ Do not touch the green chip on the side of the maintenance box. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing.

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.

☐ 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 appropriate ink supply unit first.
☐ If print quality has not improved after repeating nozzle check and head cleaning about four times, run the power cleaning once. If print quality has still not improved, 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.

Paper Does Not Feed Correctly

Check the following if the paper jams, paper feeds at a slant, several sheets of paper feed at a time, no paper feeds, or paper is ejected.

Place the printer on a flat surface and operate in the recommended environmental conditions.

☐ Use paper supported by this printer.

☐ Follow the paper handling precautions.

□ Load paper in the correct direction, and slide the edge guides against the edges of the paper.

☐ Do not load more than the maximum number of sheets specified for the paper. For plain paper, do not load above the line just under the ▼ symbol inside the edge guide.

☐ Insert the paper cassette all the way.

☐ When paper does not feed after replacing the maintenance rollers, the rollers may not have been replaced correctly. Check if they have been replaced correctly.

☐ If you have added optional paper cassette units, you need to make settings in the printer driver.

☐ When a no-paper error occurs although paper is loaded in the rear paper feed, load paper again in the center of the rear paper feed.

☐ When multiple sheets of paper feed at once during manual 2-sided printing, remove any paper which is loaded in the paper source before you reload the paper.

☐ Load and eject paper without printing to clean the paper path.

☐ Close the ink case immediately if you opened it during printing. Keeping the ink case open during printing pauses the print job.

☐ Do not open the rear cover while printing. This causes a paper jam.

☐ The maintenance rollers may be at the end of their service life. Select Setup > Maintenance > Maintenance Roller Information > Maintenance Roller Status, and then replace the maintenance rollers as necessary.

☐ Make sure the paper size and paper type settings of the paper source are correct.

Dial using the On Hook feature or using a connected telephone to check how long it takes before you hear a fax tone. If it takes more than 50 seconds, add pauses after the fax number to send the fax. Press ☑ to enter the pause. A hyphen is entered as the pause mark. One pause is about three seconds. Add multiple pauses as needed.
☐ If you have selected the recipient from the contacts list, verify that the registered information is correct. If the information is correct, select the recipient from the contacts list, press Edit and change Fax Speed to Slow(9,600bps).

Solving Problems

Cannot Send Faxes at a Specified Time

Set the date and the time correctly on the control panel.

→ "Sending Faxes at a Specified Time (Send Fax Later)" on page 107
→ "System Administration" on page 32

Cannot Receive Faxes

☐ If you have subscribed to a call forwarding service, the printer may not be able to receive faxes. Contact the service provider.
☐ If you have not connected a telephone to the printer, set the Receive Mode setting to Auto on the control panel.
☐ Under the following conditions, the printer runs out of memory and cannot receive faxes. See the troubleshooting for information on handling a memory full error.
☐ 100 received documents have been saved in the inbox.
☐ The printer's memory is full (100%).

→ "Fax Settings" on page 35
→ "Cannot Send or Receive Faxes" on page 191
→ "Memory Full Error Occurs" on page 193

Memory Full Error Occurs

☐ If the printer has been set to save received faxes in the inbox, delete faxes you have already read from the inbox.
☐ If the printer has been set to save received faxes on a computer, turn on the computer that is set to save the faxes. Once the faxes are saved in the computer, they are deleted from the printer's memory.
☐ If the printer has been set to save received faxes on a memory device, connect the device, in which you have created a folder to save faxes, to the printer. Once the faxes are saved in the device, they are deleted from the printer's memory. Make sure that the device has enough available memory and is not write protected.
☐ Even though the memory is full, you can send a monochrome fax by using the Direct Send feature. Or divide your originals into two or more to send them in several batches.
☐ If the printer cannot print a received fax due to a printer error, such as a paper jam, the memory full error may occur. Clear the printer problem, and then contact the sender and ask them to send the fax again.

→ "Removing Jammed Paper" on page 170

Solving Problems

Sent Fax Quality Is Poor

□ Clean the scanner glass.
□ Clean the ADF.
☐ Change the Resolution setting on the control panel. If your originals contain both text and photos, select Photo.
□ Change the Density setting on the control panel.
☐ If you are not sure about the capabilities of the recipient fax machine, enable the Direct Send feature or select Fine as the Resolution setting.
If you select Super Fine or Ultra Fine for a monochrome fax, and send the fax without using the Direct Send feature, the printer may automatically lower the resolution.
☐ Enable the ECM setting on the control panel.

→ "Fax Mode" on page 28
→ "Fax Settings" on page 35
→ "Cleaning the Scanner Glass" on page 148
→ "Cleaning the ADF" on page 146

Faxes Are Sent at the Wrong Size

Before you send an A3 size document, ask the recipient if the recipient's machine supports A3 size. If you see OK (Reduced Size) in the fax transmission report, the recipient's fax machine does not support A3 size.
☐ When sending a fax using the scanner glass, place the original correctly aligning its corner with the origin mark. Select your original size on the control panel.
☐ Clean the scanner glass and the document cover. If there is dust or stains on the glass, the scanning area may extend to include the dust or stains, resulting in the wrong scanning position or small images.

→ "Fax Mode" on page 28
→ "Placing Originals" on page 54
→ "Cleaning the Scanner Glass" on page 148

Received Fax Quality Is Poor

☐ Enable the ECM setting on the control panel.
☐ Contact the sender and ask them to send using a higher quality mode.
☐ Reprint the received fax. Select Job History from Status Menu to reprint the fax.

→ "Fax Settings" on page 35
→ "Checking the Fax Job History" on page 119

Solving Problems

Cannot Receive A3 Size Faxes

Check that the paper size setting of the paper source that contains A3 paper has been set to A3, and that the paper source is set for use with the fax feature. Select Setup > System Administration > Printer Settings > Paper Source Settings > Auto Select Settings > Fax, and then check the enabled paper source(s).

→ "System Administration" on page 32

Received Faxes Are Not Printed

☐ If an error has occurred on the printer, such as a paper jam, the printer cannot print received faxes. Check the printer.
☐ If the printer has been set to save received faxes in the inbox, the received faxes are not automatically printed. Check the Fax Output setting.

→ "Checking the Printer Status" on page 163
→ "Removing Jammed Paper" on page 170
→ "Saving Received Faxes in the Inbox" on page 113

Other Faxing Problems

Cannot Make Calls on the Connected Telephone

Connect the telephone to the EXT. port on the printer, and pick up the receiver. If you cannot hear a dial tone through the receiver, connect the phone cable correctly.

→ "Connecting Your Phone Device to the Printer" on page 100

Answering Machine Cannot Answer Voice Calls

On the control panel, set the printer's Rings to Answer setting to a number higher than the number of rings for your answering machine.

→ "Fax Settings" on page 35
→ "Settings for the Answering Machine" on page 110

Solving Problems

Sender's Fax Number Not Displayed on Received Faxes or the Number Is Wrong

The sender may not have set the fax header information or may have set it incorrectly. Contact the sender.

Other Problems

Slight Electric Shock when Touching the Printer

If many peripherals are connected to the computer, you may feel a slight electric shock when touching the printer. Install a ground wire to the computer that is connected to the printer.

Operation Sounds Are Loud

If operations sounds are too loud, enable quiet mode. However, this may slow down printer operations.

☐ Windows printer driver Select On as the Quiet Mode setting on the Main tab.

□ Mac OS X printer driver

Select System Preferences from the menu > Printers & Scanners (or Print & Scan, Print & Fax), and then select the printer. Click Options & Supplies > Options (or Driver). Select On as the Quiet Mode setting.

The Date and Time Are Incorrect

Set the date and the time correctly on the control panel. After a power failure caused by a lightning strike or if the power is left off for a long time, the clock may show the wrong time.

→ "System Administration" on page 32

Memory Device Is not Recognized

Enable the memory card in the Memory Device Interface settings on the control panel.

→ "System Administration" on page 32

Cannot Save Data to a Memory Device

☐ Insert the memory device in the printer, and then select Fax Output > Other Settings > Create Folder to Save to create a folder to save documents in the memory device. You cannot use a memory device that does not have a folder.

☐ Check that the memory device is not write protected.

User's Guide

Solving Problems

☐ Check that the memory device has enough available memory. If the available memory is low, data cannot be saved.

→ "Saving Received Faxes in an External Memory Device" on page 114
→ "Printer Settings" on page 34

List of Symbol Sets

Your printer can access a variety of symbol sets. Many of these symbol sets differ only in the international characters specific to each language.

When you are considering which font to use, you should also consider which symbol set to combine with the font.

Note:

Since most software handles fonts and symbols automatically, you will probably never need to adjust the printer's settings. However, if you are writing your own printer control programs, or if you are using older software that cannot control fonts, refer to the following sections for symbol set details.
