Ink Safety Precautions
Ink Handling Precautions
- Keep ink
bottles and the ink tanks out of the reach of children. Do not
allow children to drink from or handle the ink bottles and bottle
caps.
- Do not tilt
or shake an ink bottle after opening it; otherwise, ink may
leak.
- Be careful not to touch any ink when you handle the ink tanks,
ink tank caps, and opened ink bottles or ink bottle caps.
- If ink gets
on your skin, wash it thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets
into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If ink gets into
your mouth, spit it out and see a doctor right away.
- Do not squeeze the ink bottles.
- If ink spills, wipe it up immediately. To prevent the ink from
spreading, blot the spill with a dry cloth, then wipe it with a
damp cloth. The ink will be hard to remove once it has dried.
Ink Refilling Precautions
- Use ink
bottles with the correct part number for this product.
- Do not mix
with other Epson ink types.
- The use of non-Epson ink may cause damage that is not covered
by Epson’s warranty, and under certain circumstances, may cause
erratic product behavior.
- This product
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 open
the ink bottle package until you are ready to fill an ink tank. Ink
bottles are vacuum packed to maintain reliability. If you leave an
ink bottle unpacked for a long time before using it, print quality
may be affected.
- If the ink level is below the lower line on an ink tank, refill
the ink. Continued use of the product when the ink level is below
the lower line on an ink tank could damage the product.
- Visually check the ink levels in the product’s ink tanks to
confirm the actual ink levels. Continued use of the product when
the ink is below the lower line on an ink tank could damage the
product.
- Do not maintain low ink levels for extended periods of
time.
- Epson recommends filling all ink tanks to the upper line when
the product is not operating.
- 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.
- Use the ink bottle before the date printed on the package.
- After opening an ink bottle, Epson recommends using it as soon
as possible.
- Store ink bottles in a cool, dark place. Keep them out of
direct sunlight.
- Do not store the ink bottles in high or freezing
temperatures.
- Store the
ink bottles in the same environment as the product. When storing or
transporting an opened 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 measures to prevent ink from leaking when you transport the
bottle.
Ink Bottle and Ink Tank Information
- To maintain
optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all ink
tanks during printing and when performing maintenance operations,
such as cleaning the print head.
- Some ink in the ink bottles supplied with your product is used
during initial setup; these ink bottles will print fewer pages
compared to subsequent ink bottles.
- Quoted ink yields may vary depending on the images you are
printing, the paper type you are using, how often you print, and
environmental conditions such as temperature.
- The ink
bottles may contain recycled materials, but this does not affect
product function or performance.
- The specification and appearance of the ink bottles are subject
to change without prior notice for improvement.
- When
printing in monochrome or grayscale, color ink may be used instead
of black ink, depending on the paper type or print quality
settings. This is because a mixture of color inks is used to create
black.
