Cautions must be observed to avoid damage to your equipment. Notes contain important information and useful tips on the operation of your printer. Safety Precautions Be sure to follow the precautions carefully to ensure safe, efficient operation: Because the printer weighs approximately 28 kg (62 lb) with consumable products installed, one person should not lift or carry it. Two people should carry the printer, lifting it by the correct positions as shown below. 10 Be careful not to touch the fuser, which is marked CAUTION HIGH TEMPERATURE, or the surrounding areas. If the printer has been in use, the fuser and the surrounding areas may be very hot. * * * CAUTION HIGH TEMPERATURE Do not insert your hand deep into the fuser unit as some components are sharp and may cause injury. Avoid touching the components inside the printer unless instructed to do so in this guide. Never force the printer's components into place. Although the printer is designed to be sturdy, rough handling can damage it. When handling a toner cartridge, always place them on a clean, smooth surface. Do not attempt to modify a toner cartridge or take them apart. They cannot be refilled. Do not touch the toner. Keep the toner away from your eyes. 11 Do not dispose of used toner cartridge, photoconductor units, or fuser units in fire, as they can explode and cause injury. Dispose of them according to local regulations. If toner is spilled, use a broom and dustpan or a damp cloth with soap and water to clean it up. Because the fine particles can cause a fire or explosion if they come into contact with a spark, do not use a vacuum cleaner. Wait at least one hour before using a toner cartridge after moving it from a cool to a warm environment to prevent damage from condensation. When removing the photoconductor unit, avoid exposing it to room light for more than five minutes. The unit contains a blue-colored light-sensitive drum. Exposure to light can damage the drum, causing dark or light areas to appear on the printed page and reducing the service life of the drum. If you need to keep the unit out of the printer for long periods, cover it with an opaque cloth. Be careful not to scratch the surface of the drum and belt. When you remove the photoconductor unit from the printer, always place the unit on a clean, smooth surface. Avoid touching the drum, since oil from your skin can permanently damage its surface and affect print quality. To get the best print quality, do not store the photoconductor unit in an area subject to direct sunlight, dust, salty air, or corrosive gases (such as ammonia). Avoid locations subject to extreme or rapid changes in temperature or humidity. Be sure to keep consumable components out of the reach of children. Do not leave jammed paper inside the printer. This can cause the printer to overheat. Avoid sharing outlets with other appliances. 12 Use only an outlet that meets the power requirements of this printer. Important Safety Instructions Connect your printer to an electrical outlet that meets the power requirements of this printer. Your printer's power requirements are indicated on a label attached to the printer. If you are not sure of the power supply specifications in your area, contact your local power company or consult your dealer. If you are unable to insert the AC plug into the electrical outlet, contact an electrician. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage that requires repair by a qualified service representative.

Paper Handling Chapter 3 Using the Printer Software with Windows About the Printer Software The printer driver lets you choose from a wide variety of settings to get the best results from your printer. The printer driver also includes EPSON Status Monitor 3, which is accessed through the Utility menu. EPSON Status Monitor 3 lets you check the status of your printer. See "Monitoring Your Printer Using EPSON Status Monitor 3" on page 63 for more information. Accessing the printer driver You can access the printer driver directly from any application program, from your Windows operating system. The printer settings made from many Windows applications override the setting made when the printer driver is accessed from the operating system, so you should access the printer driver from your application to make sure that you get the result you want. From the application To access the printer driver, click the Print or Page Setup from the File menu. You also need to click Setup, Options, Properties, or a combination of these buttons.

Choosing the print quality by using the Automatic setting You can change the print quality of printouts to favor speed or detail. There are two levels of print output, 300 dpi and 600 dpi. 600 dpi provides high quality, precise printing, but requires more memory and slows the printing speed. Using the Printer Software with Windows 41 When Automatic is selected in the Basic Settings menu, the printer driver takes care of all detailed settings according to the color setting you select. Color and resolution are the only settings you have to make. You can change other settings such as paper size or orientation in most applications. Note: The printer driver's online help provides details on printer driver settings. 1. Click the Basic Settings tab. 2. Click Automatic. Then choose desired printing resolution from Fast (300 dpi) or Fine (600 dpi) with the slider bar. 1 2 42 Using the Printer Software with Windows 3. Click OK to apply the settings.
