Making Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) Connection Settings

This method allows you to connect the printer directly to devices without an access point. The printer acts as an access point.

EPSON WorkForce Pro WF-C869 - Making Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) Connection Settings - 1

Important:

When you connect from a computer or smart device to the printer using the Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) connection, the printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network (SSID) as the computer or smart device and the communication is established between them. Since the computer or smart device is automatically connected to the other connectable Wi-Fi network if the printer is turned off, it is not connected to the previous Wi-Fi network again if the printer is turned on. Connect to the printer's SSID for Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) connection from the computer or smart device again. If you do not want to connect every time you turn the printer on or off, we recommend using Wi-Fi network by connecting the printer to an access point.

Then you can sort and scan your originals by size and send them as a single fax.

Fax Send Settings:

Direct Send

Sends monochrome faxes to a single recipient as soon as the connection is made, without saving the scanned image to memory. If you do not enable this option, the printer starts the transmission after saving the scanned image to memory and may cause a memory full error when sending many pages. By using this option, you can avoid the error, but it takes longer to send the fax. You cannot use this option when using the ADF 2-Sided option and when sending a fax to multiple recipients.

□ Priority Send

Ink Supply Unit Codes

The following are the codes for genuine Epson ink supply units.

BlackCyanMagentaYellow
T9741T9742T9743T9744
T9731T9732T9733T9734

Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson ink supply units. 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.

Note:

☐ Ink supply unit codes may vary by location. For the correct codes in your area, contact Epson support.
☐ Not all ink supply units are available in all regions.
☐ For users in Europe, visit the following website for information on Epson's ink supply unit yields.

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

text_image Diagram showing a trash bin with a stopbelt and a prohibition symbol indicating no litter.

Replacing Ink Supply Units and Other Consumables

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

EPSON WorkForce Pro WF-C869 - Replacing Ink Supply Units and Other Consumables - 1

text_image Diagram showing a device with a switch and a prohibition symbol, alongside a magnified view of its connection to a battery.

☐ 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.

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.

☐ The ink in the ink supply units 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 ink supply units may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink supply units.

Replacing Ink Supply Units

When a message is displayed prompting you to replace the ink supply units, tap How To and then view the animations displayed on the control panel to learn how to replace the ink supply units.

→ "Ink Supply Unit Codes" on page 181
→ "Ink Supply Unit Handling Precautions" on page 181

Maintenance Box Code

Epson recommends the use of a genuine Epson maintenance box.

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

T6714

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.
☐ Do not remove the maintenance box except when replacing it; otherwise ink may leak.

Replacing the 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.

When a message is displayed prompting you to replace the maintenance box, refer to the animations displayed on the control panel. 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.

Important:

Do not open the ink case 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 supply unit 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, do not unplug the printer while the power is on.

☐ When receiving faxes using the subaddress feature, check that the subaddress and password are correct. Check with the sender that the subaddress and password match.
☐ Check if the sender's fax number has been registered to the Rejection Number List. Faxes sent from numbers that have been added to this list are blocked when Rejection Number List in Rejection Fax is enabled.
☐ Check if the sender's fax number is registered in the contact list. Faxes sent from numbers that have not been registered to this list are blocked when Unregistered Contacts in Rejection Fax is enabled.
☐ Ask the sender if header information is setup on their fax machine. Faxes that do not include header information are blocked when Fax Header Blank Blocked in Rejection Fax is enabled.

Cannot Save Received Faxes to a Memory Device

Check if the memory device is connected to the printer, and then check the Receive Settings.

→ "Saving Received Faxes in an External Memory Device (Unconditional Save/Forward)" on page 146
→ "Saving Received Faxes in an External Memory Device (Conditional Save/Forward)" on page 154

Memory Full Error Occurs

☐ If the printer has been set to save received faxes in the inbox or the confidential box, delete faxes you have already read from the inbox or the confidential box.
☐ 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.

Solving Problems

□ Even though the memory is full, you can send a monochrome fax by using the Direct Send feature. Or you can also send a fax by dialing from the external phone device, or by using the On Hook feature. You can also 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.

Sent Fax Quality Is Poor

□ Clean the scanner glass.
□ Clean the ADF.
☐ Change the Original Type 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 Settings" on page 168
→ "Basic Settings" on page 176
→ "Cleaning the Scanner Glass" on page 200
→ "Cleaning the ADF" on page 197

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.

Solving Problems

☐ 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 Settings" on page 168
→ "Placing Originals" on page 57
→ "Cleaning the Scanner Glass" on page 200

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 Log from Job/Status to reprint the fax.

→ "Basic Settings" on page 176
→ "Checking the Fax Job History" on page 167

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 Settings > General Settings > Printer Settings > Paper Source Settings > Auto Select Settings > Fax, and then check the enabled paper source(s).
☐ Check that A3 is selected in Receiving Paper Size. Select Settings > General Settings > Fax Settings > Basic Settings > Receiving Paper Size, and then check that A3 is selected.

→ "Printer Settings" on page 203
→ "Basic Settings" on page 176

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 or the confidential box, the received faxes are not automatically printed. Check the Receive Settings.

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.
