Getting started
- Fill the matching-color ink tanks as directed and keep the printer powered during its initial setup prompts.
- Complete the initial ink setup before connecting for wireless printing. Follow the on-screen prompts and Epson’s setup instructions.
- Install the software for your exact model from Epson support, load supported paper, and confirm the paper size and type.
Cleaning and maintenance
For gaps or streaks, print a nozzle check before choosing a print-head cleaning operation. Follow the guide’s cleaning limits and waiting periods.
Common questions
How do I use automatic two-sided printing?
Select the two-sided setting in the printer driver and choose a supported paper type. The guide lists restrictions, including pre-punched paper.
Should wireless setup come before ink setup?
No. Epson says to complete initial setup and ink installation before setting up wireless printing.
What should I check for missing colors?
Confirm the ink levels and print a nozzle-check pattern. Use that result to decide whether the guide’s cleaning procedure is needed.
