1. Open the paper support and pull up the extensions, then open the output tray and pull out the extensions.

2. Insert paper, glossy or printable side up, short edge first, against the right side and beneath the tab. Then press the button on the edge guide and slide it against the paper (but not too tightly).

Always load paper short edge first, even for landscape printing.

Load letterhead or pre-printed paper top edge first.

Note:

The edge guide moves slightly during paper feeding and printing.

Do not adjust it while printing is in progress.

Loading Paper 7

Loading Paper Using the Single Sheet

Guide

You can print professional quality photos on these paper types using the single sheet guide and the rear manual feed slot:

Premium Photo Paper Glossy

Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster

Epson Velvet Fine Art Paper

Epson Matte Scrapbook Photo Paper

(See page 15 for available sizes.)

1. Remove any paper from the sheet feeder and close the paper support.

2. Open the output tray and pull out the extensions.

3. Slide the roll paper edge guide on the back of the printer all the way to the right.

Roll paper edge guide

4. Attach the single sheet guide by aligning the notches on its base with the slots on the back of the printer. Then hook the tabs over the top of the slot (marked with orange triangles).

8 Loading Paper

5. Make sure the printer is on so it can load the paper correctly.

6. Insert one sheet of paper, printable side up and against the right side, then slide the edge guide against the sheet, but not too tightly.

Note:

Load paper short edge first, no matter which way your photo faces. Check the paper package for any additional loading instructions.

7. Guide the paper into the printer until it meets resistance and hold it there until the printer pulls it in slightly. Once the printer begins feeding the paper, let go of it.

8. Open the printer cover and make sure the paper has fed all the way into the printer and is straight. The paper must feed straight so the printer can properly identify the edge.

If the paper is crooked or the front edge is visible, you may receive a paper jam error when you print. To avoid this, press and hold the I paper button for three seconds to eject the paper. Remove the paper from the printer, press the

I paper button again to clear the paper out error, and load the paper again.

9. Close the printer cover and do not open it during printing.

Loading Paper 9

Loading Roll Paper

You can load roll paper or canvas media for printing large images, panoramic images, or multiple photos, with or without borders.

You can load roll paper in these widths:

8.3-inches wide

13-inches wide

(See page 15 for a list of roll paper and canvas media types and sizes.)

Tip:

It’s a good idea to check the ink status and replace cartridges, if necessary, before

loading roll paper (see page 35). This is because you must remove roll paper from the

printer before replacing cartridges to avoid ink marks on the paper.

1. Turn on the printer.

2. Remove any paper loaded in the sheet feeder and remove the single sheet

guide, if it is installed (see page 8). Also close the paper support.

3. Open the output tray, but do not pull out the extensions.

4. Place the roll paper holders on each end of the paper roll as shown.

5. Remove any tape and protective paper from the end of the roll and make sure the corners of the paper are cut straight and at 90° angles to avoid paper feeding problems.

10 Loading Paper

Note:

Avoid touching the surface of your paper or canvas media.

With canvas media that you have previously loaded, it’s a good idea to cut the edge straight each time you reload it.

6. Move the roll paper edge guide at the back of the printer all the way to the right.

7. Insert the left roll paper holder (marked with a triangle) into the far left slot on the back of the printer (marked with an orange triangle). Then insert the right roll paper holder in the corresponding slot on the right.

8. Feed the end of the paper into the roll paper feeder, located behind the roll and marked with the M roll paper icon.

Loading Paper 11

9. Slide the roll paper edge guide against the right side of the paper, but not too tightly.

Caution:

Do not load roll paper or canvas media into the auto sheet feeder (marked with up orange triangles).

10. Guide the paper into the slot until it meets resistance and hold it there until the printer pulls it in slightly. Once the printer begins feeding the paper, let go of it.

Note:

When loading canvas media, leave 2 to 3 inches of slack in the roll as it feeds and prints for the best results. If you have trouble feeding canvas media, check that the edge is straight and reload it, making sure to keep the roll slack.

11. Open the printer cover and look into the printer to make sure the roll paper or canvas media is feeding straight. The paper must feed straight so the printer can properly identify the edge of it.

If it is crooked or the front edge is visible, you may receive a paper jam error when you print.

To avoid this, press and hold the M roll paper button for three seconds to back the paper out.

Remove the paper from the printer, press the

I paper button to clear the paper out error, then load the roll paper or canvas media again.

12. For roll paper, turn the knobs on the roll paper holders backward to remove the excess slack. (Leave 2 to 3 inches of slack for canvas media.)

13. Close the printer cover and do not open it during printing.

Removing Roll Paper Prints and Roll Paper

1. To remove your roll paper or canvas media prints, press the M roll paper button to feed the paper forward, then cut off your printed photos straight across the paper at the cutting guideline.

Caution:

Do not pull on the paper as you cut it to avoid damaging your printout. Also do not cut the paper too close to the printer to avoid paper feeding problems.

2. To continue printing on roll paper or canvas media, press the M roll paper button again to return the paper to printing position.

12 Loading Paper

3. If you are finished printing on roll paper or canvas media, press and hold the

M roll paper button for 3 seconds to feed the paper backward and out of the printer. If it does not feed all the way out, press the M roll paper button again.

4. Turn the knobs on the roll paper holders backward to roll up the paper, then remove the paper and holders from the printer.

5. Press the I paper button to stop the I paper light from flashing.

Store the unused roll paper or canvas media in its original package away from high temperatures, humidity, and direct sunlight.

Loading Thick Media

Use the front manual feed slot to load 13 × 19-inch media that is 1.0 to 1.3 mm thick.

Note:

Make sure there is enough space behind the printer for the media to feed through the printer.

1. Turn on the printer.

2. Remove any roll paper, canvas media, or paper loaded in the sheet feeder or single sheet guide. Then close the paper support.

3. If necessary, remove the single sheet guide (see page 8) or roll paper holders

(see page 12).

4. Open the output tray.

Loading Paper 13

5. Open the front manual feed slot cover and slide the edge guide left.

6. Insert one sheet of thick media into the front manual feed slot, short edge first with the printable side face-up, until the trailing edge is aligned with the arrows.

7. Slide the edge guide to the side of the media, but not too tightly.

Note:

If the printer doesn’t load the media and the I paper light flashes when printing starts, gently pull out the media and turn off the printer. Then turn on the printer and try again.

Caution:

Don’t turn off the printer when thick media is loaded or you may damage the printer. To remove the media from the printer without printing, gently pull out the media.

8. When you’re finished printing on thick media, close the front manual feed slot cover.

Windows: Right-click the icon in the bottom right corner of your screen

(the taskbar) and select Printer

Settings . Open the Utility tab, select

Auto Nozzle Check and Cleaning , and click OK .

Mac OS X: Open the Applications folder, open the Epson Software folder, open the EPSON Printer

Utility4 , select SP R2000 , and click OK . Then select Auto Nozzle Check and Cleaning .

Maintaining Your Printer 33

3. Click Start and follow the on-screen instructions to allow the printer to print and examine the nozzle check pattern. If necessary, the printer cleans the print head, and may print and check the nozzle check pattern a few times.

If nozzles are still clogged, you see a message telling you to clean the print head manually. See the online User’s Guide for instructions.

Note:

If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning the print head four times, turn off your printer and wait at least six hours to let any dried ink soften. Then try printing again.

If you do not use your R2000 Series often, it is a good idea to print a few pages at least once a month to maintain good print quality.

Checking and Aligning the Print Head

If your printouts become grainy or blurry, or you see dark or light bands across them, you may need to align the print head.

It’s best to run the automatic alignment utility first to let the printer check and align the print head, if necessary. If you still notice alignment problems, you can align the print head manually.

Note:

Banding may also occur if your print head nozzles need cleaning (see page 33).

1. Load a few sheets of Epson Presentation Paper Matte (or the photo paper you

have on hand) in the sheet feeder (see page 6). It’s best to use matte or photo

paper for the most accurate alignment.

2. Do one of the following:

Windows: Right-click the icon in the bottom right corner of your screen (the taskbar) and select Print

Head Alignment .

Mac OS X: Open the Applications folder, open the Epson Software folder, open the EPSON Printer

Utility4 , select SP R2000 , and click

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.

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 the first cartridges is used for priming the printer.

For best printing results, use up a cartridge within six months of opening the package.

Caution:

Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges are vacuum packed to maintain reliability.

Leave your old cartridges in the R2000 Series until you are ready to replace them to prevent the print head nozzles from drying out.

Remove the CD/DVD tray before replacing ink cartridges.

Maintaining Your Printer 37

Make sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. You must install new cartridges immediately after removing the old ones.

1. Remove the CD/DVD tray or thick media and close the front manual feed slot cover before replacing ink. If you have roll paper or canvas media loaded

in the printer, remove it to prevent ink marks on the paper (see page 12).

2. Open the printer cover.

3. Press the H ink button to move the print head to the ink replacement position.

If a cartridge is low or expended, the light above the cartridge flashes or stays on.

Caution:

To avoid damaging your printer, don’t move the print head by hand or touch the flat white cable behind the print head.

4. Open the cartridge cover.

38 Maintaining Your Printer

5. Squeeze the tab on the cartridge and lift the cartridge straight up to remove it. Dispose of it carefully. Do not take the used cartridge apart or try to refill it.

Warning:

If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.

6. Before opening the cartridge package, shake the package four or five times.

Note:

All cartridges make a clicking sound when you shake them.

Caution:

Do not shake the cartridges after opening the packages or ink will leak.

7. Remove the cartridge from the package, but be careful not to touch the green chip on the cartridge.

8. Remove the yellow tape from the bottom of the cartridge.

Caution:

Do not remove any other labels or seals, or ink will leak.

Maintaining Your Printer 39

9. Insert the new cartridge into the holder and push it down until it clicks into place.

10. Once you replace all the necessary cartridges, close the cartridge cover and push it down until it clicks into place.

11. Close the printer cover.

12. Press the H ink button to begin charging the ink. This takes about

2 1/2 minutes. The P power light flashes as the ink charges. When the

P power light stops flashing and the H ink light goes out, ink charging is finished.

Caution:

Never turn off the R2000 Series while ink is charging or you’ll waste ink.

If the H ink light is flashing, press the H ink button, then press down all the cartridges securely.

If you remove a low or expended ink cartridge, you cannot reinstall and use the cartridge.

Solving Problems 45

Problems and Solutions

Check the solutions below if you’re having trouble using your printer.

Printing Problems

Make sure your paper is loaded printable side up, short edge first, and all the

way to the right (see page 6 and page 8).

When using the sheet feeder, don’t load paper above the arrow mark on the left edge guide. Load only one sheet of compatible paper when using the

single sheet guide (see page 8).

Make sure the paper size settings in the printer software are correct for the paper you loaded.

If the P power and I paper lights are flashing and printing has stopped, make sure the printer cover is closed. Leaving the printer cover open stops or prevents printing.

Paper Feeding Problems

If paper doesn’t feed into the sheet feeder, remove the paper and fan the stack of paper to separate the sheets. Reload paper against the right side and slide the edge guide against it. Do not load too many sheets in the sheet feeder at

once (see page 6) and make sure the printer cover is closed.

If paper loaded using the single sheet guide doesn’t feed, make sure you installed the guide correctly and guided the paper all the way into the printer

(see page 8).

If paper dust builds up on the rollers, they may lose traction and become

unable to feed paper properly. See page 42 for cleaning instructions.

Make sure the front manual feed tray is not extended if you’re printing on roll paper or with the sheet feeder. Extend it only to load fine art paper or poster board.

If roll paper doesn’t feed, cut the end of it straight across and uncurl the end

by rolling it backward, if necessary. Then reload the paper (see page 10).

If thick media doesn’t feed, make sure you’re loading it straight into the

printer and not at an incline (see page 13).

46 Solving Problems

■ If paper is jammed, try the following, depending on how you’re printing:

Sheet feeder or rear manual feed slot: Press the I paper button to eject any jammed sheets, then open the printer cover and remove any paper jammed inside. Press the I paper button again to clear the error, then reload paper.

Roll paper slot: Cut off any printed roll paper or canvas media, then remove

(see page 12) and reload (see page 10) the paper.

Front manual feed slot: Gently pull out the paper and press the I paper button to clear the error.

CD/DVD Printing Problems

If the CD/DVD tray won’t load or jams in the printer, gently pull out the

CD/DVD tray and press the I paper button, if it is flashing. Reload the

CD/DVD tray, making sure to insert the tray correctly in the tray guide and

align the arrows (see page 29). Also make sure the printer cover is closed.

If your image is not positioned correctly on the disc or does not cover the printable area correctly, you may need to adjust the printing position using the Epson Print CD software. See the online User’s Guide for instructions.

If ink smears on your disc, make sure you’re printing on ink jet-printable CDs or DVDs and that the surface of the disc is dry. Handle printed discs carefully and let them dry for 24 hours before inserting them in a drive. If necessary, you can adjust the print quality using Epson Print CD software. See the online User’s Guide for instructions.

Print Quality Problems

For the best print quality, use Epson papers (see page 15) and genuine Epson

ink cartridges (see page 37).

Load the paper printable side up (usually the whiter, brighter, or glossy side).

Make sure your paper isn’t damp or curled.

Some papers can only be loaded one sheet at a time (see page 6).

Make sure the type of paper you loaded matches the paper size and paper type

settings in your printer software (see page 27).

Solving Problems 47

Remove sheets from the output tray as they eject. Let your prints dry separately for at least 12 hours before framing or placing in a protective sheet.

If you need to stack them, place a sheet of plain paper between each print.

If you notice light or dark bands across your printouts or they are too faint, you may need to clean the print head. Run a nozzle check and clean the print

head if necessary (see page 33).

If you notice jagged vertical lines, run the print head alignment utility to

check and align the print head (see page 34).

The ink cartridges may be low on ink. Check cartridge status (see page 35)

and replace cartridges if necessary (see page 37).

Epson America, Inc., Limited Warranty

What Is Covered: Epson America, Inc. (“Epson”) warrants to the original retail purchaser that the Epson printer covered by this limited warranty statement, if purchased and operated only in the United States, Canada, or Puerto Rico, will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of one (1) year from the date of original purchase.

For warranty service, you must provide proof of the date of original purchase.

What Epson Will Do To Correct Problems: Should your Epson printer prove defective during the warranty period, please call the Epson Connection at (562) 276-7272 (U.S.) or

(905) 709-2567 (Canada) for warranty repair instructions and return authorization. An

Epson service technician will provide telephone diagnostic service to determine whether the printer requires service. If service is needed, Epson will, at its option, exchange or repair the printer without charge for parts or labor. If Epson authorizes an exchange for the defective unit, Epson will ship a replacement printer to you, freight prepaid, so long as you use an address in the United States, Canada, or Puerto Rico. Shipments to other locations will be made freight collect. You are responsible for securely packaging the defective unit and returning it to Epson within five (5) working days of receipt of the replacement.

Epson requires a debit or a credit card number to secure the cost of the replacement printer in the event that you fail to return the defective one. If Epson authorizes repair instead of exchange, Epson will direct you to send your printer to Epson or its authorized service center, where the printer will be repaired and sent back to you. You are responsible for packing the printer and for all costs to and from the Epson authorized service center.

When warranty service involves the exchange of the printer or a part, the item replaced becomes Epson property. The replacement printer or part may be new or refurbished to the Epson standard of quality, and, at Epson's option, may be another model of like kind and quality. Exchange products and parts assume the remaining warranty period of your original product covered by this limited warranty.

What This Warranty Does Not Cover: This warranty covers only normal use in the

United States, Canada, or Puerto Rico. Using this product for continuous production or similar high duty purposes is not considered normal use; damage, maintenance or service from such use will not be covered under this warranty. This warranty is not transferable.

54 Notices

This warranty does not cover any color change or fading of prints or reimbursement of materials or services required for reprinting. This warranty does not cover damage to the

Epson product caused by parts or supplies not manufactured, distributed or certified by

Epson. This warranty does not cover ribbons, ink cartridges or third party parts, components, or peripheral devices added to the Epson product after its shipment from

Epson, e.g., dealer or user-added boards or components. Epson is not responsible for warranty service should the Epson label or logo or the rating label or serial number be removed or should the product fail to be properly maintained or fail to function properly as a result of misuse, abuse, improper installation, neglect, improper shipping, damage caused by disasters such as fire, flood, and lightning, improper electrical current, software problems, interaction with non-Epson products, or service other than by an Epson

Authorized Servicer. If a claimed defect cannot be identified or reproduced, you will be held responsible for the costs incurred.

THE WARRANTY AND REMEDY PROVIDED ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN

LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING, BUT

NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,

NON-INFRINGEMENT OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME

LAWS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES. IF

THESE LAWS APPLY, THEN ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE

LIMITED TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD IDENTIFIED ABOVE. UNLESS

STATED HEREIN, ANY STATEMENTS OR REPRESENTATIONS MADE BY ANY

OTHER PERSON OR FIRM ARE VOID. IN NO EVENT SHALL EPSON OR ITS

AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR

CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE USE OR INABILITY

TO USE THE EPSON PRODUCT, WHETHER RESULTING FROM BREACH OF

WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY. IN NO EVENT SHALL EPSON

OR ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND IN EXCESS OF

THE ORIGINAL RETAIL PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT.

In Canada, warranties include both warranties and conditions.

Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, and some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
