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:

• E-mail/view on a computer screen/post on the web: 96 to 150 dpi

• Print/convert to editable text (OCR): 300 dpi

• Fax: 200 dpi

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.

269

Note: Dispose of used cartridges carefully. Do not take the used cartridge apart or try to refill 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.

5.

Remove the cartridge from the package.

Caution: Do not touch the green chip on the cartridge. Install the new cartridge immediately after removing the old one; if you do not, the print head may dry out and be unable to print.

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, protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust and store it in the same environment as the printer. The valve in the ink supply port is designed to contain any excess ink, but do not touch the ink supply port or surrounding area. Always store ink cartridges with the label facing up; do not store cartridges upside-down.

Printing is Slow

If printing becomes slow, try these solutions:

• Make sure your system meets the requirements for your operating system. If you are printing a highresolution image, you may need more than the minimum requirements. If necessary, increase your system's memory.

• Clear space on your hard drive or run a defragmentation utility to free up existing space.

• Close any programs you are not using when you print.

• If your product is connected to a USB hub, connect it directly to your computer instead.

• If printing becomes slower after printing continuously for a long time, the product may have automatically slowed down to protect the print mechanism from overheating or becoming damaged.

Let the product rest with the power on for 30 minutes, then try printing again.

For the fastest printing, select the following settings in your product software:

• Make sure the paper type setting matches the type of paper you loaded.

• Turn on any high speed settings in your product software.

• Select a lower print quality setting.

Windows: Click the Maintenance tab, select Speed & Progress, and select the following settings:

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.

FCC Compliance Statement

For United States Users

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the back side is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and the ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your local telephone company. The information associated with the services the equipment is to be connected are REN: 0.1B, Jack type: RJ-11C.

The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices that you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that you may connect to your line, you may want to contact your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area. For products approved after July 23,

2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US: BKMFA01BC431A.

The digits represented by 01 are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 01 is a REN of 0.1). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.

This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs.

Should this equipment cause harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible they will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advanced notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify you as soon as possible. You will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your equipment. If they do, you will be notified in advance to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted telephone service.

358

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other electronic device, including fax machines, to send any message unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification of the business or other entity, or other individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other entity, or individual. In order to program this information into your fax machine, follow the instructions for entering fax header information.

According to the FCC’s electrical safety advisory, we recommend that you may install an AC surge arrestor in the AC outlet to which this equipment is connected. Telephone companies report that electrical surges, typically lightning transients, are very destructive to customer terminal equipment connected to AC power sources and that this is a major nationwide problem.

If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this equipment Model C431A does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio or television reception. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio and television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

359

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

WARNING

The connection of a non-shielded equipment interface cable to this equipment will invalidate the FCC

Certification or Declaration of this device and may cause interference levels which exceed the limits established by the FCC for this equipment. It is the responsibility of the user to obtain and use a shielded equipment interface cable with this device. If this equipment has more than one interface connector, do not leave cables connected to unused interfaces. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
