Ink CartridgesNote: We recommend 
that you use genuine 
Epson cartridges and do 
not refill them. The use of 
other products may affect 
your print quality and 
could result in printer 
damage.
Yields vary considerably 
based on images printed, 
print settings, paper type, 
frequency of use, and 
temperature. For print 
quality, a small amount of 
ink remains in the 
cartridge after the 
“replace cartridge” 
indicator comes on. The 
printer ships with full 
cartridges and part of the 
ink from this first set of 
cartridges is used for 
priming the printer.
For best printing results, 
use up a cartridge within 
six months of opening the 
package.
Cartridge life2 years from production date if unopened; 
within 6 months after opening package
Te m p e r a t u r e  ( s t o r a g e )–4 to 104 °F (–20 to 40 °C); 1 month at 104 °F

If you print on roll paper or other media that is too thick to be cut by the 
built-in cutter, you can still cut it using the optional Manual Media Cutting 
System. The following media (and other similar materials) may not work 
with the built-in cutter:
Fine art paper (including Epson Textured and UltraSmooth Fine Art 
Paper)
PremierArt Water Resistant Canvas for Epson
Vinyl
Matte board
Backlight film
Heavyweight polyester banner media
DuPontTM Semigloss Proofing Paper
If you want to print multiple images on roll paper and have the printouts 
rolled up onto another spindle automatically, you can use the optional Auto 
Take-Up Reel.
See the instructions in these sections and the manuals that came with the 
optional equipment:

Equipment

Installing the Manual Media Cutting System
Follow these steps to install the Manual Media Cutting System on your 
printer.
1. Make sure the printer is turned off.
2. Using a screwdriver, remove the four silver screws securing the platen.
3. Hook the left side of the manual cutter onto the square hole on the 
printer as shown below.
4. Hook the other side of the manual cutter onto the right square hole on 
the printer.
Note: The manual cutter 
comes with either two or 
three holes on each side. 
The illustrations in this 
section show the cutter 
with three holes, but the 
instructions are the same 
for the other version.
Do not loosen the black 
screws that are near the 
silver screws in this step.
