Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions
■Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. 
■Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges; there may be ink remaining around the ink supply 
port. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them 
immediately with water.
■Do not put your hand inside the printer or touch a cartridge during printing.
■Do not move the print head by hand. You may damage the printer.
■Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from its package. Leaving the cartridge 
unpacked for a long time before use can result in reduced print quality.
■Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the cartridge carton. For best results, use 
up the ink cartridges within six months of first installing them.
■Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place.
■Store ink cartridges with the bottom of the packaging facing down.
■After bringing an ink cartridge inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room 
temperature for at least three hours before using it.
■Shake an ink cartridge 4 or 5 times before removing it from its package.
■Do not shake an ink cartridge after removing it from its package; this can cause leakage.
■Do not remove or tear the label on an ink cartridge; this can cause leakage.
■Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them. This could damage the print head.
■Do not touch the green IC chip on the front of the cartridge. This may affect normal operation 
and printing.
■If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust and 
store it in the same environment as the printer. Note that there is a valve in the ink supply port, 
making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent the ink from staining items that 
the cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink cartridge ink supply port or surrounding area.

direct you to send your printer to Epson or its authorized service center, where the printer will be fixed 
and sent back to you. You are responsible for packing the printer and for all costs to and from the 
Epson authorized service center. When warranty service involves the exchange of the printer or a part, 
the item replaced becomes Epson property. The replacement printer or part may be new or refurbished 
to the Epson standard of quality, and, at Epson’s option, may be another model of like kind and 
quality. Epson’s liability for replacement of the covered printer will not exceed the original retail selling 
price of the covered printer. Exchange products and parts assume the remaining warranty period of 
your original product covered by this limited warranty.
What This Warranty Does Not Cover: This warranty does not apply to refurbished or reconditioned 
products. This warranty covers only normal use in the United States and Canada. Using this product 
for continuous production or similar high duty purposes is not considered normal use; damage, 
maintenance or service from such use will not be covered under this warranty. This warranty is not 
transferable. This warranty does not cover any color change or fading of prints or reimbursement of 
materials or services required for reprinting. This warranty does not cover damage to the Epson 
product caused by parts or supplies not manufactured, distributed or certified by Epson. This warranty 
does not cover ribbons, ink cartridges or third party parts, components, or peripheral devices added to 
the Epson product after its shipment from Epson, e.g., dealer or user-added boards or components.

number be removed or should the product fail to be properly maintained or fail to function properly as 
a result of misuse, abuse, improper installation, neglect, improper shipping, damage caused by disasters

THE WARRANTY AND REMEDY PROVIDED ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF 
ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, 
THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR

OF WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.
In Canada, warranties include both warranties and conditions.
Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, and some 
jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the
