• Do not touch the printable surface. This prevents oil from your hands from causing print quality problems. • When handling media, hold it by both edges, preferably while wearing cotton gloves. • Keep the media dry and avoid storage locations subject to direct sunlight, excessive heat, and high humidity. • Retain the media packaging materials so you can use it to store unused media. • After printing, do not touch, rub, or scratch the printed surface to avoid removing the ink. • Dry printed media completely before folding or stacking it, or the printed surface may be damaged. • Keep printed media out of direct sunlight. • Display and store printed media as instructed in the media documentation. • When you are not printing on media, remove it from the printer and place it in its original packaging to prevent deterioration. Parent topic: Printer Usage Guidelines Storing Your Printer Follow these guidelines if you need to store your printer for a long period: • If the printer is not used for an extended period of time with the power off, clean the print head nozzles. Turn the printer on at least once every two weeks to automatically clean the print head and prevent the nozzles from clogging. If you do not turn on the printer for a long time, the printer may malfunction. • If you will not use the printer for more than two weeks, maintenance must be performed by a service engineer before and after this period. Contact Epson support. • Even if the printer is not turned on, ink that has accumulated in the waste ink tube may leak out. Make sure the waste ink bottle is installed even when the printer is not on. • Remove any loaded media before storing the printer to prevent the pressure rollers from causing creases in the media, which may cause jams or damage to the print head. • Make sure that the print head is in the home position before storing the printer. If it is left away from the home position for a long time, the print quality may decline. • Close all the covers on the printer to prevent dust and debris from getting in. If the printer will be not be used for an extended period of time, protect it with an anti-static cloth or other cover. The print head nozzles can become clogged if fine dust gets on the print head, and you may not be able to print properly. • Store the printer on a level surface; do not store it on angle, on its end, or upside down. 18
