Notes When Not Using The Printer; Notes On Using The Control Panel - Epson SC-T5400 Series User Manual

SC-T5400 Series/SC-T5400M Series/SC-T3400 Series/SC-T3400N Series User's Guide
❏ The print head may not be capped (i.e., may not
move to the right-hand side) if an error occurs and
the printer is turned off without first resolving the
error. Capping is a function for automatically
covering the print head with a cap (lid) to prevent
the print head from drying out. In this case, turn on
the power and wait a while until capping is
performed automatically.
❏ When the power is on, do not remove the power
plug or cut the power at the breaker. The print head
may not be capped properly. In this case, turn on the
power and wait a while until capping is performed
automatically.
❏ The printer may automatically perform print head
cleaning to maintain good printing quality. Please
wait until cleaning finishes without opening any of
the covers or turning off the power.

Notes when not using the printer

If you are not using it, note the following points when
storing the printer. If it is not stored correctly, you may
not be able to print properly the next time it is used.
❏ When storing the printer, store it flat with the ink
cartridges installed. Do not place the printer tilted,
upright, or upside down.
❏ If you do not print for a long time, the print head
nozzles may become clogged. We recommend that
you print once a week to prevent the print head
from clogging.
❏ The roller may leave an impression on paper that is
left in the printer. This can also cause wavy or curled
paper resulting in paper feeding problems or the
print head could be scratched. Remove any paper
when storing.
❏ Store the printer after confirming that the print
head has been capped (the print head is positioned
at the far right). If the print head is left uncapped for
a long time, the print quality may decline.
Note:
If the print head is not capped, turn the printer on,
and then turn it off.
Introduction
❏ To prevent the accumulation of dust and other
foreign matter in the printer, close all covers before
placing it in storage.
If the printer will be not be used for an extended
period, protect it with an anti-static cloth or other
cover.
The print head nozzles are very small, and they can
become clogged easily if fine dust gets on the print
head, and you may not be able to print properly.
❏ The print head may fail if the environmental
temperature becomes -10˚C or lower. If the
environmental temperature in the room or during
transport is expected to become -10˚C or lower, be
sure to discharge the ink in advance.

Notes on using the control panel

❏ Touch the panel with your finger. The panel only
reacts when you touch it with your finger.
❏ It may not respond when touched with anything
other than your finger, when touched with a wet or
gloved finger, or when there is a protective sheet or
sticker on the panel.
❏ Do not operate with pointy objects such as ballpoint
pens or mechanical pencils. Doing so may damage
the panel.
❏ If the panel gets dirty, wipe it clean with a soft cloth.
If it is very dirty, soak a soft cloth in a diluted
solution of neutral detergent, wring it out
thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, and then wipe it with a
soft, dry cloth. Do not use volatile chemicals such as
thinner, benzene, or alcohol. Doing so may damage
the panel surface.
❏ Do not use in an environment subject to rapid
changes in temperature or humidity. Condensation
may form inside the panel, causing the
performance to deteriorate.
❏ Some pixels on the screen may not be lit or may be lit
constantly. Also, due to the characteristics of LCD
displays, the brightness may be uneven, but this is
not a malfunction.
