Scan Resolution Guidelines  
If you plan to enlarge a scanned image so you can print it at a larger size, you may need to increase the  
resolution from the default resolution set by Epson Scan. Follow these guidelines to determine the  
resolution setting you need:  
• You will enlarge the image as you scan it.  
If you will enlarge the image using Epson Scan's Target Size setting (Home and Professional modes  
only), you do not need to increase the Resolution setting.  
• You will scan the image at its original size, but enlarge it later in an image-editing program.  
Increase Epson Scan's Resolution setting in your scan. Increase the resolution by the same amount  
you will increase the image size to retain a high image quality. For example, if the resolution is 300 dpi  
(dots per inch) and you will double the image size later, change the Resolution setting to 600 dpi.  
• You will scan the image at 100% or smaller size.  
Select Epson Scan's Resolution setting based on how you will use the scanned image:  
• Email/view on a computer screen/post on the web: 96 to 150 dpi  
• Print/convert to editable text (OCR): 300 dpi  
142  
• Fax: 200 dpi

Purchase Epson Ink Cartridges  
You can purchase genuine Epson ink and paper at Epson Supplies Central at epson.com/ink3 (U.S.  
sales) or epson.ca (Canadian sales). You can also purchase supplies from an Epson authorized reseller.  
To find the nearest one, call 800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766).  
Note: 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.  
The cartridges included with the printer are designed for printer setup and not for resale. After some ink  
is used for priming, the rest is available for printing. Yields vary considerably based on images printed,  
print settings, paper type, frequency of use, and temperature. For print quality, a variable amount of ink  
remains in the cartridge after the "replace cartridge" indicator comes on.

Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges  
Make sure you have your replacement cartridges handy before you begin. You must install new  
cartridges immediately after removing the old ones.  
Caution: Leave your old cartridges in the printer until you are ready to replace them to prevent the print  
head nozzles from drying out. Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink.  
Cartridges are vacuum packed to maintain reliability.  
1. Make sure that the CD/DVD tray is not inserted for printing.  
2. Turn on your product.  
• If an ink cartridge is expended, you see a message on the LCD screen. Note which cartridges  
need to be replaced and select Proceed, then choose Yes, replace now.  
• If you are replacing a cartridge before you see a message on the LCD screen, select Setup >  
Maintenance > Ink Cartridge Replacement.  
261  
3. Lift up the scanner unit.  
Caution: Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may damage your product. Do not  
touch the flat white cable inside the printer.  
4. Push in the blue tab to unlock the ink cartridge you are replacing. Then lift the bottom of the ink  
cartridge to remove it.  
Warning: If ink gets on your skin, wash it thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes,  
flush them immediately with water. If ink gets into your mouth, spit it out and see a doctor right away.  
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.  
262  
5. Recap the used ink cartridge using the cap that came with it.  
Note: Dispose of used cartridges carefully. Do not take the used cartridge apart or try to refill it.  
6. Remove the new ink cartridge from the package.  
Caution: Do not shake the cartridges after opening the packages, or ink may leak. Do not touch the  
areas shown above. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing.  
263  
7. Remove the cap from the cartridge and store it in the bag that came with your product for later use.  
Note: Save the cap so you can recap ink cartridges before storing or disposing of them.  
Caution: Do not remove any other labels or seals, or ink will leak.  
8. Insert the ink cartridge head first into the ink cartridge holder. Then press the bottom of the ink  
cartridge down until it clicks into place.  
264  
9. Once you replace all the cartridges that need replacing, close the scanner unit.  
The product starts priming the ink. This takes a few minutes. When you see a completion message  
on the LCD screen, ink replacement is complete.  
Note: If you see an error screen telling you an ink cartridge is installed incorrectly, lift up the scanner  
unit and press the ink cartridge down until it clicks into place. When you're finished, close the  
scanner unit.  
If you remove a low or expended ink cartridge, you cannot re-install and use the cartridge.  
Caution: If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, recap the ink cartridge using the cap that came  
with it to prevent the ink from drying out and to protect the surrounding area from getting smeared by ink.  
Store the ink cartridge in the same environment as the product. Do not leave the product with the ink  
cartridges removed for an extended period of time. Otherwise, ink remaining in the print head nozzles  
may dry out and you may not be able to print.

If your printouts become too light, or you see dark or light bands across them, you may need to clean the

• You may need to increase the image resolution or print a smaller size; see your software  
documentation.  
• If you enlarged the image in an image-editing program, you need to increase the resolution setting to  
retain a high image quality. Increase the resolution by the same amount you increased the image size.  
For example, if the resolution is 300 dpi (dots per inch) and you will double the image size later,  
change the resolution setting to 600 dpi.  
Note: Higher resolution settings result in larger file sizes, which take longer to process and print.  
Consider the limitations of your computer system when selecting a resolution, and select the lowest  
possible resolution that produces acceptable quality to keep file sizes manageable.

Back of Original Image Appears in Scanned Image  
If an image from the back of a thin original appears in your scanned image, place a piece of black paper  
on the back of the original and scan it again.

Ripple Patterns Appear in an Image  
You may see a ripple pattern (called a moiré) in scanned images of printed documents. This is caused  
by interference from differing pitches in the scanner's screen and your original's halftone screen. To  
reduce this effect, adjust these Epson Scan settings (if available) and try scanning again:  
• Select the Descreening setting.  
• Select a lower Resolution setting.

Scanned Image Colors Do Not Match Original Colors  
Printed colors can never exactly match the colors on your computer monitor because printers and  
monitors use different color systems: monitors use RGB (red, green, and blue) and printers typically use  
CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black).  
Check the color matching and color management capabilities of your computer, display adapter, and the  
software you are using to see if they are affecting the palette of colors you see on your screen.  
To adjust the colors in your scanned image, adjust these Epson Scan settings (if available) and try  
scanning again:  
• Change the Image Type setting and experiment with different combinations of the next settings.  
• Adjust the Tone Correction setting.  
322  
• Adjust the Auto Exposure setting.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line.  
Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming  
call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number  
of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone  
company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product  
identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a  
decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.  
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in  
advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical,  
the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your
