Of course, your TX100 can do a lot more when you connect it to your Windows® or Macintosh® computer. For additional instructions, see the onscreen User’s Guide by double-clicking the icon for it on your desktop. Please follow these guidelines as you read your TX100 instructions: Warning: Warnings must be followed carefully to avoid bodily injury. Caution: Cautions must be observed to avoid damage to your equipment. Note: Notes contain important information about your TX100. Tip: Tips contain hints for better copying, scanning, and printing. Introduction 3 nx_tx_100_qg.book Page 4 Thursday, May 1, 2008 11:06 AM Loading Paper You can print on a variety of paper types and sizes. For details, see page 5. 1. Open the paper support, then open the output tray and pull out the extension. 2. Flip the clear plastic feeder guard forward, then squeeze the edge guide and slide it left. 3. Insert paper, glossy or printable side up, short edge first, against the right side and beneath the tab. (Load letterhead or pre-printed paper top edge first.) Always load paper short edge first, even for landscape printing. 4 Loading Paper nx_tx_100_qg.book Page 5 Thursday, May 1, 2008 11:06 AM You can load up to 80 sheets of plain paper, Epson Bright White Paper, or Presentation Paper Matte, or 20 sheets of photo paper. Load other special papers one sheet at a time. Note: The type of paper you choose affects the way your printout looks. If you are just making a copy or printing a rough draft, plain paper is fine. However, for the best results, you’ll want to use one of Epson’s special ink jet papers designed for your printer. See the next section for more information. 4. Slide the edge guide against the paper, but not too tightly. 5. Flip the clear plastic feeder guard back. Note: For instructions on loading envelopes, see your on-screen User’s Guide. Using Special Papers Epson offers a wide array of high quality papers, making it easy to maximize the impact of your photos, presentations, and creative projects. You can purchase genuine Epson ink and paper from an Epson Authorized reseller. To find the nearest reseller, call your nearest Epson sales office. See “Where To Get Help” on page 30. .

Restoring and Correcting Photos 19 nx_tx_100_qg.book Page 20 Thursday, May 1, 2008 11:06 AM Maintaining Your TX100 Follow the instructions in this chapter for checking and cleaning the print head nozzles and replacing ink cartridges. To align the print head, if necessary, see your on-screen User’s Guide. Caution: To keep your TX100 looking like new, don’t place anything on top of the cover or use it as a writing surface. If you need to clean the cover, use only a soft, non-abrasive microfiber-type cloth. Checking the Print Head Nozzles If your printouts are faint or have gaps in them, some of the nozzles in the print head may be clogged or ink may be running low in one or more of the ink cartridges. Follow the steps below to check the print head nozzles. 1. Load letter-size paper in the sheet feeder. 2. Turn off the TX100. 3. Hold down the y Cancelar (Stop) button as you press the P Encender/ Ligar (On) button to turn the TX100 back on. Hold down both buttons until the P Encender/Ligar (On) light begins to flash, then release the buttons. 20 Maintaining Your TX100 nx_tx_100_qg.book Page 21 Thursday, May 1, 2008 11:06 AM 4. Check the nozzle check pattern that prints to see if there are gaps in the lines. Nozzles are clean Nozzles need cleaning 5. If there are no gaps, the print head is clean. If there are gaps or the pattern is faint, clean the print head as described in the next section. Cleaning the Print Head If print quality has declined and the nozzle check pattern indicates clogged nozzles, you can clean the print head. Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if necessary. Note: You cannot clean the print head if an ink cartridge is expended, and you may not be able to clean it when a cartridge is low. You must replace the cartridge first (see page 23). 1. Make sure the TX100 is on and the B ink light is off. 2. Hold down the y Cancelar (Stop) button for three seconds to start the cleaning cycle, which lasts around one minute. Caution: Never turn off the TX100 during head cleaning or you may damage it. 3. When the P Encender/Ligar (On) light stops flashing, run a nozzle check (as described on page 20) to verify that the print head is clean. 4. If there are still gaps or lines, or the test patterns are faint, run another cleaning cycle and check the nozzles again. Note: If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning the print head two times, turn off your TX100 and wait at least six hours to let any dried ink soften. Then try cleaning the print head again. If quality does not improve, one of the ink cartridges may need to be replaced. If that doesn’t help, contact Epson as described on page 30. If you do not use your TX100 often, it is a good idea to print a few pages at least once a month to maintain good print quality. Cleaning the Print Head 21 nx_tx_100_qg.book Page 22 Thursday, May 1, 2008 11:06 AM Checking the Ink Cartridge Status When the B ink light starts flashing, a cartridge is low on ink. You can continue printing until a cartridge needs replacement. When the B ink light stays on, you need to replace a cartridge. Note: You cannot print or copy when an ink cartridge is expended even if the other cartridges are not expended. Replace any expended cartridges before printing or copying. A window may also appear on your computer screen when you try to print when ink is low. This window can optionally display ink offers and other updates retrieved from an Epson website. Select Do not display this message again to not receive on-line offers. Promotional offers are not valid in Latin America. Tip: If a cartridge is more than six months old, print quality may decline. If necessary, try cleaning the print head (see page 21). If printouts still do not look their best, you may need to replace the cartridge. You can purchase genuine Epson ink and paper from an Epson Authorized reseller. To find the nearest reseller, call your nearest Epson sales office. See page 30. See your Start Here sheet for ink cartridge codes. 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 printer ships with full cartridges and part of the ink from this first set of cartridges is used for priming the printer. 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. For best printing results, use up a cartridge within six months of opening the package. Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. If cartridges have been exposed to cold temperatures, allow them to warm up to room temperature for at least 3 hours before using them. 22 Checking the Ink Cartridge Status nx_tx_100_qg.book Page 23 Thursday, May 1, 2008 11:06 AM Replacing Ink Cartridges Make sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. You must install new cartridges immediately after removing the old ones. Warning: Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink. Caution: Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges are vacuum packed to maintain reliability. Note: Leave the expended cartridge installed until you have obtained a replacement, or the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out. 1. Turn on the TX100. Note: If you need to change a cartridge before it is expended (the B ink light is flashing or off), run the ink cartridge replacement utility. See the on-screen User’s Guide for details. 2. Open the scanner and prop it up with its support. Caution: Do not touch the white cable inside the printer or you may damage it. Replacing Ink Cartridges 23 nx_tx_100_qg.book Page 24 Thursday, May 1, 2008 11:06 AM 3. Press the y Cancelar (Stop) button. The print head moves to the _ position to indicate which cartridge is low or expended. Caution: Do not move the print head by hand; this may damage your TX100. Always press the y Cancelar (Stop) button to move it. 4. Press the y Cancelar (Stop) button again. ■ If another cartridge is low or expended, it moves to the _ position. Press the y Cancelar (Stop) button again to see if any more cartridges are low or expended. ■ If no other cartridges are low or expended, the print head moves to the replacement position. 5. Squeeze the tab on the cartridge and lift it up. Dispose of it carefully. Do not take the used cartridge apart or try to refill it. Caution: Do not touch the white cable inside the printer or you may damage 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. 24 Replacing Ink Cartridges nx_tx_100_qg.book Page 25 Thursday, May 1, 2008 11:06 AM 6. Before you open the new cartridge package, shake it four or five times. Then remove it from the package. Caution: Do not touch the green chip on the front of the cartridge. This can damage the ink cartridge. 7. Remove the yellow tape from the bottom of the ink cartridge. Caution: Do not remove any other labels or seals, or ink may leak. 8. Insert the new ink cartridge into the holder and push it down until it clicks into place. Replacing Ink Cartridges 25 nx_tx_100_qg.book Page 26 Thursday, May 1, 2008 11:06 AM 9. Once you replace all the cartridges that need replacing, lift the scanner slightly, release its support, and lower the scanner. 10. Press the y Cancelar (Stop) button to begin charging the ink. This takes about 1 1/2 minutes. When it’s finished, the P Encender/Ligar (On) light stops flashing and remains on, and the B ink light goes out. Caution: Never turn off the TX100 while ink is charging or you’ll waste ink. If the B ink light flashes, press the y Cancelar (Stop) button and press down all the cartridges securely. Note: If you replaced a cartridge while copying a document or photo, cancel printing and make sure your original is still placed correctly on the document table. Then copy your original again. If you remove a low or expended ink cartridge, you cannot reinstall and use the cartridge. 26 Replacing Ink Cartridges nx_tx_100_qg.book Page 27 Thursday, May 1, 2008 11:06 AM Solving Problems If you have a problem with your TX100, check the lights on the control panel to diagnose the cause. You can also check “Problems and Solutions” on page 28 for basic troubleshooting suggestions, or double-click the User’s Guide icon on your computer desktop for more detailed help. Checking for Software Updates Periodically, it’s a good idea to check Epson’s support website at www.latin.epson.com for free updates to your Epson Stylus TX100 software.

All lights are on Parts inside the TX100 are at the end of their service life. Contact Epson for help (see page 30). All lights are flashing There is a problem with the TX100. Turn it off, wait a few moments, and turn it back on again. If the error is not resolved, contact Epson for help (see page 30). Problems and Solutions Check the solutions below if you’re having trouble using your TX100. Printing and Copying Problems ■ Make sure your original is positioned in the front right corner of the glass. If the edges are cropped, move your original away from the edges slightly. ■ Make sure your paper is loaded short edge first and is positioned against the right side with the edge guide against its left side. Don’t load paper above the arrow mark inside the edge guide. ■ Make sure the paper size settings are correct for the paper you loaded. Paper Feeding Problems ■ If paper doesn’t feed, remove it from the sheet feeder. Flip through the stack to separate the sheets a little. Then reload the paper against the right side, and slide the left edge guide against the paper (but not too tightly). ■ Do not load too many sheets at once. Load up to 20 sheets of photo paper, 80 sheets of matte paper, or 100 sheets of plain paper. Load other special papers one sheet at a time. 28 Problems and Solutions nx_tx_100_qg.book Page 29 Thursday, May 1, 2008 11:06 AM ■ Do not load paper with holes punched in it. ■ If paper is jammed, follow these steps: 1. Gently pull out jammed paper from the output tray or sheet feeder. 2. If paper is stuck inside, turn off the TX100. 3. Lift the scanner, check everywhere for jammed paper and torn pieces, remove them, lower the scanner, and turn the TX100 back on. Print Quality Problems If you have any problems with the copy or print quality, try these solutions: ■ Make sure the document is placed flat against the document table glass and the TX100 is not tilted or placed on an uneven surface. ■ Load the paper printable side up (usually the whiter, brighter, or glossy side). ■ Make sure your paper isn’t damp or curled. ■ Use a support sheet with special paper or load your paper one sheet at a time. Remove sheets from the output tray so not too many collect at a time. ■ Make sure the type of paper you loaded matches the paper size and paper type settings in your printer software (see page 17). ■ For the best print quality, use Epson special paper (see page 5) and genuine Epson ink cartridges (see page 22). ■ If you notice light or dark bands across your printouts or they are too faint, you may need to clean the print head (see page 21). This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly. Run a nozzle check (see page 20) to see if the print head needs cleaning. ■ Clean the print head as described on page 21. ■ If you notice jagged vertical lines, you may need to align the print head. See your User’s Guide for instructions. ■ The ink cartridges may be low on ink. Check your cartridge status (see page 22) and replace cartridges, if necessary (see page 23). ■ If a dotted line appears in the image, clean the document table glass with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth (paper towels are not recommended and may permanently scratch the surface), or use a small amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth, if necessary. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the glass.

Use of another cord may cause fires or shock. Do not use the cord with any other equipment. ■ Place the TX100 near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged. ■ If you won’t be using the TX100 for a long period, unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. ■ Always turn off the TX100 using the P Encender/Ligar (On) button, and wait until the P Encender/Ligar (On) light stops flashing before unplugging the printer or cutting off power to the electrical outlet. ■ Avoid plugging the TX100 into an outlet on the same circuit as a photo copier or air control system that regularly switches on and off, or on an outlet controlled by a wall switch or timer. ■ Do not let the power cord become damaged or frayed. ■ If you use an extension cord with the TX100, make sure the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating. ■ Avoid locations that are subject to rapid changes in heat or humidity, shocks or vibrations, or dust. ■ Leave enough room around the TX100 for sufficient ventilation. Do not block or cover openings in the case or insert objects through the slots. ■ Do not place or store the TX100 near a radiator or heating vent, in a dusty or moist environment, in direct sunlight, or outdoors. ■ Keep the away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones. ■ Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the TX100. Doing so may cause fire. ■ Place the TX100 on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond its base in all directions. It will not operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle. ■ Do not open the scanner section while the TX100 is copying, printing, or scanning. ■ Do not touch the flat white cable inside the TX100, and be careful not to trap your fingers when closing the scanner. Important Safety Instructions 33 nx_tx_100_qg.book Page 34 Thursday, May 1, 2008 11:06 AM ■ Do not spill liquid on the TX100 or use it with wet hands. ■ Except as specifically explained in your documentation, do not disassembly, modify, or attempt to service the TX100 yourself. ■ Unplug the TX100 and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: if the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered the product; if the product has been dropped or the case damaged; if the product does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. ■ When storing or transporting the TX100, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it upside down; otherwise ink may leak from the cartridges. Ink Cartridge Safety ■ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink. ■ Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges; there may be ink remaining around the ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water. ■ Do not put your hand inside the TX100 or touch any cartridges during printing. ■ Install a new ink cartridge immediately after removing an expended one. Leaving cartridges uninstalled can dry out the print head and may prevent the TX100 from printing. ■ 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 TX100. Note that there is a valve in the ink supply port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent the ink from staining items that the cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink cartridge ink supply port or surrounding area. Store cartridges with their labels facing upward.
