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.

c 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.

Ink Bottle Handling Precautions

Read the following instructions before refilling ink.

Handling precautions
❏ Use ink bottles with the correct part code for this printer.
❏ This printer requires careful handling of ink. Ink may splatter when the ink tanks are filled or refilled with ink.
If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.
❏ Do not shake too vigorously or squeeze the ink bottles.
❏ Once you open an ink bottle, we recommend using it as soon as possible.
❏ Store ink bottles at normal room temperature and keep them away from direct sunlight.
❏ Epson recommends using the ink bottle before the date printed on the package.
❏ Store the ink bottles in the same environment as the printer.
❏ When storing or transporting an ink bottle, do not tilt the bottle and do not subject it to impacts or temperature
changes. Otherwise, ink may leak even if the cap on the ink bottle is tightened securely. Be sure to keep the ink
bottle upright when tightening the cap, and take precautions to prevent ink from leaking when transporting the
bottle, for example, putting the bottle in a bag.
❏ After bringing an ink bottle inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least
three hours before using it.
❏ Do not open the ink bottle package until you are ready to fill the ink tank. The ink bottle is vacuum packed to
maintain its reliability. If you leave an ink bottle unpacked for a long time before using it, normal printing may
not be possible.
❏ Prolonged use of the printer when the ink level is below the lower line could damage the printer. Fill the ink
tank to the upper line while the printer is not operating. To display the correct ink level estimates, reset the ink
level after filling the tank.
❏ To ensure you receive premium print quality and to help protect your print head, a variable ink safety reserve
remains in the ink tank when your printer indicates to refill ink. The yields quoted for you do not include this
reserve.
❏ For optimum print results do not maintain low ink levels for extended periods of time.
❏ Although the ink bottles may contain recycled materials, this does not affect printer function or performance.
❏ Specifications and appearance of the ink bottle are subject to change without prior notice for improvement.
❏ 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.

112
User's Guide

Refilling Ink and Replacing Maintenance Boxes

Ink consumption
❏ To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all ink tanks not only during
printing but also during maintenance operation 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 bottles 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 bottles may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink bottles.

Refilling the Ink Tanks

1. Open the scanner unit with the document cover closed.

2. Open the ink tank cover.

A message is displayed on the printer's control panel prompting you to refill the ink tank to the upper line.
Select Next.

3. Open the cap of the ink tank.

c Important:
Make sure that the color of the ink tank matches the ink color that you want to refill.

4. While holding the ink bottle upright, turn the cap slowly to remove it.

c Important:
❏ Be careful not to spill any ink.
❏ Do not touch the top of the ink bottle after removing the cap; otherwise you may be smeared with ink.

114
User's Guide

Refilling Ink and Replacing Maintenance Boxes

5. Position the top of the ink bottle along the slot in front of the filling port, and then stand the bottle slowly to
insert it into the filling port.

c Important:
Do not allow the top of the ink bottle to hit against any objects after removing its cap; otherwise ink may spill.

6. Insert the top of the ink bottle securely into the filling port of the tank to refill the tank with ink.
Ink pours into the tank just by holding the bottle normally without squeezing. The ink flow stops
automatically when the ink is filled to the upper line.

Note:
If the ink does not start flowing into the tank, remove the ink bottle and try reinserting it.

7. When you have finished refilling the ink, remove the ink bottle, and then close the cap of the ink tank securely.

c Important:
Do not leave the ink bottle inserted; otherwise the bottle may be damaged or ink may leak.

Note:
If any ink remains in the ink bottle, tighten the cap and store the bottle upright for later use.

User's Guide

Refilling Ink and Replacing Maintenance Boxes

c Important:
If you continue to use the printer after resetting the ink level without refilling the ink tank to the upper line, printing
may be performed without ink and this may damage the printer. Before you start printing, make sure you visually

Maintenance Box Code

Epson recommends the use of a genuine Epson maintenance box.
The following is the code for the genuine Epson maintenance box.
T04D0

c Important:
Once a maintenance box has been installed in a printer it cannot be used with other printers.

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 replace the maintenance box during printing; otherwise, ink may leak.
❏ Do not remove the maintenance box and its cover except when replacing the maintenance box; 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.
❏ Keep the maintenance box out of direct sunlight.
❏ Do not store the maintenance box in high or freezing temperatures.

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.
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, non-printing features
are available.

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.

c Important:
❏ Do not open the scanner unit or turn off the printer during head cleaning. If the head cleaning is incomplete, you
may not be able to print.
❏ 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. Prepare a new ink bottle.
❏ If print quality has not improved after repeating nozzle check and head cleaning three times, wait for at least 12
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, run Power Cleaning. If it 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.

Normally, a single Power Cleaning should resolve the print quality issue within 12 hours. Therefore, to avoid
unnecessary ink usage, you must wait 12 hours before you try it again.

c Important:
Maintenance box replacement may be required.
Ink will be deposited to the maintenance box. If it becomes full, you must prepare and install a replacement
maintenance box to continue printing.

* In some print cycles a very small amount of surplus ink may be collected in the ink pad. To prevent ink leakage
from the pad, the product is designed to stop printing when the pad has reached its limit. Whether and how often
this is required will vary according to the number of pages you print using the borderless print option. The need
for replacement of the pad does not mean that your printer has ceased to operate in accordance with its
specifications. The printer will advise you when the pad requires replacing and this can only be performed by an
authorised Epson Service provider. The Epson warranty does not cover the cost of this replacement.
