For optimum performance, we recommend the latest Macintosh system available with a FireWire connection. If you are running System 8.5.1 on an iMac, Apple recommends that you download iMac Update 1.1 from their web site.

6 6|Introduction ENERGY STAR Compliance As an ENERGY STAR Partner, EPSON has determined that this product meets the E NERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency. The EPA E NERGY STAR Office Equipment program is a voluntary partnership with the computer and office equipment industry to promote the introduction of energy-efficient personal computers, monitors, printers, fax machines, and copiers in an effort to reduce air pollution caused by power generation. Important Safety Instructions Before using your printer, read the following safety instructions to make sure you use the equipment safely and effectively. Turn off and unplug the printer before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth only. Do not spill liquid on the printer. Do not place the printer on an unstable surface or near a radiator or heating vent. Avoid areas subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity or shock and vibrations. Do not place the printer near a window or in direct sunlight. Bright light can interfere with the paper sensors, causing paper jams and related problems. Keep the entire system away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones. Place the printer on a flat surface. It will not operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle. Do not block or cover the openings in the printer case or insert objects through the slots. Use only the type of power source indicated on the label. Connect all equipment to properly grounded power outlets. Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off. Do not use outlets controlled by wall switches or timers. Caution Always turn the printer off using the Power button. When you press this button, the Operate light flashes briefly, then goes out. Do not unplug the printer or turn off the power to the printer until the Operate light is off. This ensures that the print head is safely capped.

7 Introduction|7 Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plugs can be easily unplugged. Placez l’imprimante près d’une prise de contacte où la fiche peut être débranchée facilement. Do not let the power cords become damaged or frayed. If you use an extension cord with the printer, make sure the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating. Except as specifically explained in the documentation, do not attempt to service the printer yourself. Opening or removing those covers that are marked “Do Not Remove” may expose you to dangerous voltage points or other risks. Refer all servicing in those compartments to service personnel. Power down the printer from the control panel, unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: If the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered the printer; if the equipment has been dropped or the case damaged; if the printer does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions Do not put your hand inside the printer or touch the cartridges during printing. To avoid damaging the printer, do not move the print head by hand. Under normal circumstances, ink will not come out of the cartridge. If it does get on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water. Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink. Do not store ink cartridges at high or freezing temperatures. Keep cartridges away from direct sunlight.

8 8|Introduction Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them. This could result in damage to the print head. Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from its package. Leaving the cartridge unpacked for a long time before use may result in reduced print quality. Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the cartridge package. For best results, use cartridges within six months of installation.
