Note:

When loading canvas media, leave 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.

9. Select the Paper Size and Paper Type, then press OK.

replaced. If that doesn’t help, contact Epson as described on page 47.

If you do not use your product 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.

Note:

Banding may also occur if your print head nozzles need cleaning (see page 32).

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

have on hand) in the sheet feeder (see page 7). It’s best to use matte or photo

paper for the most accurate alignment.

2. Press the button or tap the printer’s touch screen to open the main menu.

Checking the Ink Cartridge Status

Your P600 Series will let you know when an ink cartridge is low or expended in

the following ways:

■The printer’s touch screen displays an error message.

■Your computer screen displays a message when you try to print. This window

can optionally display ink offers and other updates retrieved from an Epson

website.

Tip:

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

printing a large print job. If you need to replace a cartridge while printing, you can

continue to print but you might notice a color difference depending on drying

conditions.

Note:

On a Windows computer that is connected to the Internet, you may see a screen

asking if you want to receive Epson offers the first time you try to print when ink is low.

Click Accept or Decline. To disable checking for ink offers or updates from Epson, see

the instructions in your online User’s Guide.

Replacing Ink Cartridges

You can purchase genuine Epson ink and paper at Epson Supplies Central at

www.epson.com/ink3 (U.S. sales) or www.epson.ca (Canadian sales). You can

also purchase supplies from an Epson authorized reseller. To find the nearest one,

call 800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766).

Use the following list when you order or purchase new ink cartridges:

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 P600 Series until you are ready to replace them to

prevent the print head nozzles from drying out.

40 Maintaining Your Printer

Switching Black Ink Types

Your printer comes with Matte Black and Photo Black ink cartridges. Although

both must be installed for the printer to work, the printer can use only one type of

ink at a time. The printer will switch ink automatically, depending on the type of

media you load. This consumes a certain amount of ink, so you should avoid

switching ink more often than necessary.

To conserve ink, you can select the type of ink that is available by default (see

page 41). First decide which type of media you usually print on. Then, if

necessary, switch to the type of ink that works with that media.

The following media use Matte Black ink:

■Presentation Paper Matte

■Premium Presentation Paper Matte

■Premium Presentation Paper Matte Double-sided

■Ultra Premium Presentation Paper Matte

■Velvet Fine Art PaperEpson

■Exhibition Watercolor Paper Textured

■Watercolor Paper Radiant White

■UltraSmooth Fine Art Paper 325 gsm

■Exhibition Canvas Matte

■Exhibition Canvas Natural Matte

■Photo Quality Self-adhesive Sheets

■Hot Press Bright

■Hot Press Natural

■Cold Press Bright

■Cold Press Natural

Maintaining Your Printer 41

The following media use Photo Black ink:

■Photo Paper Glossy

■Premium Photo Paper Glossy

■Ultra Premium Photo Paper Glossy

■Premium Photo Paper Semi-gloss

■Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster

■Exhibition Canvas Satin

■Exhibition Canvas Natural Satin

■Exhibition Canvas Natural Gloss

■Exhibition Fiber Paper

■Metallic Photo Paper Glossy

■Metallic Photo Paper Luster

Select the Black Ink Type

Switching black ink takes several minutes. Because it consumes some of the new

type of ink, you should not switch ink more often than necessary.

1. Press the button or tap the printer’s touch screen to open the main menu.

2. Press the button.

3. Press Proceed to select the type of ink the printer will switch to. The time

required for each type is shown below:

■Photo Black to Matte Black: about 1.5 minutes

■Matte Black to Photo Black: about 3.5 minutes

42 Maintaining Your Printer

Cleaning the Rollers

If you notice lines or streaks on your printouts, you may need to clean the rollers

inside the printer by feeding several sheets of plain paper or a cleaning sheet (if

applicable) through it.

Note:

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

paper properly. To keep the paper feed mechanism running smoothly, use cleaning

sheets after feeding every 100 sheets or so of matte paper.

1. Turn on the printer.

2. Open the paper support and output tray.

3. Load several sheets of plain paper or a cleaning sheet in the sheet feeder (see

page 7).

Note:

Only the area corresponding to the size of the paper will be cleaned.

4. Press the button or tap the printer’s touch screen to open the main menu.

5. Press the Fbutton, select Maintenance, then select Paper Guide Cleaning.

6. Press Roller Cleaning to feed a sheet of paper or a cleaning sheet through the

printer.

7. Feed several sheets of paper, or one cleaning sheet three times, to completely

clean the rollers.

Solving Problems 43

Solving Problems

If you have a problem with your Epson product, check the messages on the LCD

screen to diagnose the cause. You can also check the basic troubleshooting

suggestions below or in your online User’s Guide.

Checking for Software Updates

Periodically, it’s a good idea to check Epson’s support website for free updates to

your product software. Visit the driver download site at epson.com/support

(U.S.) or epson.ca/support (Canada).

With Windows, your printer software automatically checks for updates. You can

also select Driver Update on the Utility tab in the printer settings window, or

right-click the icon in the bottom right corner of your screen (the taskbar) and

select Software Update.

You can also update the software by selecting EPSON Software Updater in the

EPSON or EPSON Software program group, accessible by the Start button, or

on the Start or Apps screens, depending on your version of Windows.

With OS X, you can manually update the software by opening the Applications

> Epson Software folder and selecting EPSON Software Updater.

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 7 and page 9).

■When using the sheet feeder, don’t load paper above the arrow mark on the

left edge guide.

44 Solving Problems

■When using the manual feed tray, load only one sheet of compatible paper

(see page 9).

■Make sure the paper size settings in the printer software are correct for the

paper you loaded.

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 7).

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

unable to feed paper properly. See page 42 or your online User’s Guide for

cleaning instructions.

■If you can’t insert paper easily into the manual feed tray, make sure the paper

is perfectly flat and not curled.

■Make sure the 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. Once the media is fed into the printer and you see a message on the

screen, close the manual feed tray.

■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 12).

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

printer and not at an incline (see page 16).

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

Sheet feeder: Open the printer cover and remove any paper jammed inside.

Press Restart to clear the error.

Roll paper slot: Cut off any printed roll paper and then cut the paper close to

the roll. Gently pull out the paper from the front or back (whichever is easier)

and press Restart to clear the error.

Manual feed tray: Gently pull out the paper from the front or back

(whichever is easier) and press Restart to clear the error.

If you still see an error message, turn off the printer and then turn it back on.

Solving Problems 45

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 Restart. Reload the CD/DVD tray, making sure to

insert the tray correctly in the tray guide and align the arrows (see page 31).

■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 and genuine Epson ink cartridges

(see page 36).

■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 7).

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

settings in your printer software (see page 27).

■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 32).

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

check and align the print head (see page 33).

■The ink cartridges may be low on ink. Check cartridge status (see page 34)

and replace cartridges if necessary (see page 36).

Important Safety Instructions

Before using your P600 Series, read and follow these safety instructions:

■Be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the P600 Series.

■Use only the type of power source indicated on the P600 Series label.

■Place the P600 Series near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.

■If you won’t be using the P600 Series for a long period, unplug the power cord from

the electrical outlet.

■Always turn off the P600 Series using the Ppower button, and wait until the

Ppower light stops flashing before unplugging the printer or cutting off power to the

electrical outlet.

■Avoid plugging the P600 Series into an outlet on the same circuit as a photocopier 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 P600 Series, 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 P600 Series for sufficient ventilation. Do not block or

cover openings in the P600 Series case or insert objects through the slots.

■Do not place the P600 Series near a radiator or heating vent or in direct sunlight.

■Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the P600

Series. Doing so may cause fire.

■Place the P600 Series 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.

■Make sure the P600 Series is at least 4 inches (10 cm) away from the wall.

■Be careful not to spill liquid on the P600 Series.

■Except as specifically explained in your documentation, do not attempt to service the

P600 Series yourself.

Notices 49

■Unplug the P600 Series and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the

following conditions: if the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered the

in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.

■Do not put your hand inside the P600 Series 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 P600 Series

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 P600 Series. 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. Do not store the cartridge upside

down.

Touch Screen Safety

■Use only a dry, soft cloth to clean the touch screen. Do not use liquid or chemical

cleansers.
