Epson SureColor T-Series User Guide Introduction O Do not install the printer next to heat sources or directly in the path of air from a ventilator or air conditioner. Failure to observe this precaution could result in the print head nozzles drying and clogging. O The print head may not be capped (i.e., may not move to the right-hand side) if an error occurs and the printer is turned off without first resolving the error. Capping is a function for automatically covering the print head with a cap (lid) to prevent the print head from drying out. In this case, turn on the power and wait a while until capping is performed automatically. O When the power is on, do not remove the power plug or cut the power at the breaker. The print head may not be capped properly. In this case, turn on the power and wait a while until capping is performed automatically. O Even when the printer is not in use, some ink will be consumed by head cleaning and other maintenance operations needed to keep the print head in good condition. Notes when not using the printer If you are not using it, note the following points when storing the printer. If it is not stored correctly, you may not be able to print properly the next time it is used. O If you do not print for a long time, the print head nozzles may become clogged. We recommend that you print once a week to prevent the print head from clogging. O The roller may leave an impression on paper that is left in the printer. This can also cause wavy or curled paper resulting in paper feeding problems or the print head could be scratched. Remove any paper when storing. O Store the printer after confirming that the print head has been capped (the print head is positioned at the far right). If the print head is left uncapped for a long time, the print quality may decline. Note: If the print head is not capped, turn the printer on, and then turn it off. O To prevent the accumulation of dust and other foreign matter in the printer, close all covers before placing it in storage. If the printer will be not be used for an extended period, protect it with an anti-static cloth or other cover. The print head nozzles are very small, and they can become clogged easily if fine dust gets on the print head, and you may not be able to print properly. O When turned on after an extended period of disuse, the printer may automatically perform head cleaning to ensure print quality. Head cleaning will end after about 10 to 15 minutes. Notes on handling ink cartridges Note the following points when handling ink cartridges to maintain good print quality. O The supplied ink cartridges and Ink Maintenance Tank are for use during the initial charging. The supplied ink cartridges and Ink Maintenance Tank will be require replacement relatively quickly. O We recommend that ink cartridges be stored at room temperature out of direct sunlight and used before the expiry date printed on the packaging. O To ensure good results, use all the ink in the cartridge within a year of installation. O Ink cartridges that have been stored at low temperatures for an extended period should be allowed to return to room temperature over a period of four hours. O Do not touch the IC chips on the tops of the ink cartridges. You may not be able to print properly. O Install all ink cartridges into each slot. You cannot print if any of the slots are empty. O Do not leave the printer without ink cartridges installed. The ink in the printer may dry, preventing it from printing as expected. Leave ink cartridges in all slots even while you do not use the printer. 21
