    Macintosh System Requirements
    To use your printer in either a standalone or peer-to-peer network 
    environment, your system should include the requirements listed below:
    For USB connection: Power Macintosh® G3, G4, or iMac™ series 
    (System 8.5.1 through 9.x; System 9.2.2 or later recommended)
    For IEEE 1394 connection: iMac DV, G3, or G4 series (System 8.6 or 
    later with FireWire
    ® Update 2.1 or later)
    For 10/100 BaseT Ethernet connection: iMac, G3, or G4 series (System 
    8.5.1 through 9.x; 9.2.2 or later recommended)
    350 MHz processor (700 MHz or higher recommended)
    256MB of RAM (at least 512MB recommended)
    At least 8GB available hard disk space to install the software and process 
    files (60GB or more recommended)
    Quad-speed (4×) or faster CD-ROM or DVD drive for installing the 
    printer software
    For USB connection: a compliant USB port and a shielded USB “AB” 
    cable from Series A (computer) to Series B (printer), up to 6.6 ft 
    (2 meters) long
    For IEEE 1394 (FireWire) connection: a compliant IEEE 1394 port 
    and a shielded IEEE 1394 cable
    For network connection: an RJ-45 Ethernet cable
    Note
    If you are not using Photo 
    Printing Accelerator in 
    your driver (see page 1-33 
    for details), or if you are 
    using a software or 
    hardware RIP, you must 
    have a Power Macintosh 
    G4 with a 500 MHz or 
    higher processor and 
    512MB RAM to keep the 
    printer running at full 
    engine speed.
    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.

    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.

    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|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.
