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).

The 98 (High Capacity Black (and all 99 Standard Capacity) ink cartridges are available  
online and from Epson authorized resellers. The 98 (High Capacity) color cartridges are  
available only online. Visit Epson Supplies Central at www.epson.com/ink3 (U.S. sales)  
or www.epson.ca (Canadian sales).  
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.  
Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. If cartridges were exposed to cold  
temperatures, allow them to warm up to room temperature for at least 3 hours before  
using them.  
48 Maintaining Your Artisan 700 Series  
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.  
Caution:  
Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges are  
vacuum packed to maintain reliability. Leave the expended cartridge(s) installed until  
you have obtained a replacement, or the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry  
out. If you remove a low or expended cartridge, you cannot reinstall and use it.  
1. Turn on the Artisan 700 Series.  
If a cartridge is low or expended, you see a  
message on the display screen. Note which  
cartridges need to be replaced and press OK  
.
(You cannot print until you have replaced any  
expended ink cartridges.)  
If you’re replacing a cartridge before it’s  
expended, follow the steps below.  
2. Open the scanner.  
Replacing Ink Cartridges 49  
3. Squeeze the tab on the cartridge and lift it straight  
up. 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.  
4. Remove the cartridge from the package. Do not  
touch the green chip on the side.  
5. Remove the yellow tape from the bottom of the  
cartridge.  
Caution:  
Do not remove any other labels or seals, or ink will  
leak.  
6. Insert the new cartridge into the holder and push it down until it clicks into  
place.  
7. Close the scanner.  
Note:  
If you see a warning message that the cartridge you just replaced is not installed,  
open the scanner and press down the cartridge securely.

Problems and Solutions  
You can often solve problems by checking the messages on the display screen. If  
the information doesn’t help you solve the problem, check the solutions below.  
Note:  
If the screen is dark, press any button to wake the Artisan 700 Series from sleep mode.  
Printing and Copying Problems  
Make sure your paper is loaded printable side down (usually the whiter,  
brighter, or glossy side). Don’t load paper above the edge guides.  
Make sure the type of paper you loaded matches the paper size and paper type  
settings on the control panel when copying or printing (see page 16), or in  
your printer software (see page 39).  
Make sure your original is positioned against the back left corner of the  
scanner glass. If the edges are cropped, move your original away from the  
edges slightly.  
If you’re copying, place the document flat against the scanner glass.  
Clean the scanner glass with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth (paper towels are not  
recommended), or use a small amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth, if  
necessary. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the glass.  
Paper Feeding Problems  
If paper jams when printing, check the following:  
1. Open the scanner and remove paper as shown, including any torn pieces.  
Caution:  
To prevent damage, avoid handling parts inside the Artisan 700 Series.  
52 Solving Problems  
2. Pull back on the tabs to remove the cover inside the Artisan 700 Series. Then  
remove the paper as shown, including any torn pieces.  
3. Reattach the cover and close the scanner.  
4. You may also need to check other locations for jammed paper, such as the  
paper cassette, the back cover or auto duplexer (if installed), and underneath  
the Artisan 700 Series. See the on-screen Epson Information Center for details.  
Print Quality Problems  
For the best print quality, use Epson papers (see page 10) and genuine Epson  
ink cartridges (see page 49).  
If you notice light or dark bands across your printouts or they are too faint,  
run a nozzle check (see page 45) to see if the print head needs cleaning.  
If you notice jagged vertical lines, you may need to align the print head. See  
the on-screen Epson Information Center for instructions.  
The ink cartridges may be low on ink. Check your cartridge status (see  
page 47) and replace cartridges, if necessary (see page 49).

Important Safety Instructions  
Before using your all-in-one, read and follow these safety instructions:  
Be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.  
Use only the type of power source indicated on the product label.  
Use only the power cord that comes with the product. Use of another cord may cause  
fires or shock. Do not use the cord with any other equipment.  
Place the product near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.  
If you won’t be using the product for a long period, unplug the power cord from the  
electrical outlet.  
Always turn off the product using the P On button, and wait until the P On light  
stops flashing before unplugging the printer or cutting off power to the electrical  
outlet.  
Avoid plugging the product into an outlet on the same circuit as a photocopier or air  
conditioning 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 product, 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.  
Place the product 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.  
When storing or transporting the product, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it  
upside down; otherwise ink may leak from the cartridges.  
Avoid placing the product in locations that are subject to rapid changes in heat or  
humidity, shocks or vibrations, or dust.  
Leave enough room around the product for sufficient ventilation. Make sure the  
product is at least 4 inches (10 cm) away from the wall.  
Do not place the product near a radiator or heating vent or in direct sunlight.  
Do not block or cover openings in the product case or insert objects through the slots.  
Notices 55  
Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the  
printer. Doing so may cause fire.  
Do not press too hard on the document table when placing the originals.  
Do not open the scanner section while the product is in use.  
Do not touch the flat white cable inside the product.  
Do not spill liquid on the product.  
Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Except as  
specifically explained in your documentation, do not attempt to service the product  
yourself.  
Unplug the product 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.  
The cords included with this product contain chemicals, including lead, known to the  
State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands  
after handling. (This notice is provided in accordance with Proposition 65 in Cal. Health  
& Safety Code § 25249.5 and following.)  
LCD Screen Safety  
Use only a dry, soft cloth to clean the LCD screen. Do not use liquid or chemical  
cleansers.  
If the LCD screen is damaged, contact Epson. If the liquid crystal solution gets on  
your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If the liquid crystal solution  
gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision  
problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.  
Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions  
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. If you still have discomfort or vision  
problems, see a doctor immediately.  
Do not put your hand inside the product 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 product from  
printing.  
56 Important Safety Instructions  
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 product. 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.  
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 or Canada, will be free from defects in workmanship  
and materials for the warranty period, as measured from the date of original purchase. The  
“warranty period” means two years, if you registered your printer purchase with Epson  
within 60 days of purchase, and one year otherwise. For residents of California or Quebec,  
failure to submit the product registration form does not diminish your warranty rights.  
For warranty service, you must provide proof of the date of original purchase.  
This limited warranty statement also covers any Epson-branded duplexer purchased  
separately for use with the printer. The warranty period for your duplexer is the same as  
the period for your printer. In this limited warranty statement, the “product” means the  
printer and the duplexer.  
What Epson Will Do To Correct Problems: Should your Epson printer prove defective  
during the warranty period, please call the Epson ConnectionSM at (562) 276-4382 (U.S.)  
or (905) 709-3839 (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 Canada or the U.S. (excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. Possessions).  
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.  
Epson America, Inc., Limited Warranty 57  
What This Warranty Does Not Cover: This warranty covers only normal use in the  
United States and Canada. 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. 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.
