If you place the printer by the wall, leave more than 10 cm between the back of the printer and the wall. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted at an angle. When storing or transporting the printer, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it upside down. Otherwise, ink may leak from the cartridge.
When setting up your printer
Observe the following when setting up the printer: Do not block or cover the vents and openings in the printer. Power supply cords should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do not place objects on top of power-supply cords and do not allow the AC adapter or power-supply cords to be stepped on or run over. Be particularly careful to keep all power-supply cords straight at the ends and the points where they enter and leave the AC adapter. Use only the power-supply cords that comes with this product. Use of another cord may result in fire or electrical shock, or injury. The AC adapter model A361H is designed for use with the printer with which it was included. Do not attempt to use it with other electronic devices unless specified.

If you have to fit a plug: As the colours of the mains lead of the appliance may not match the coloured markings used to identify the terminals in a plug, please observe the following: The blue wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug marked with the letter N. The brown wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug marked with the letter L. If damage occurs to the plug, replace the cord set or consult a qualified electrician.

When using the printer

Observe the following when using the printer: If you use the printer in places where the use of electronic devices is limited, such as in airplanes or hospitals, follow all instructions in those places.

When using a memory card

Use only memory cards compatible with the printer. Refer to Inserting Your Memory Cards.

When using LCD

The LCD panel contains a few small bright or dark spots. These are normal and do not mean that the LCD monitor is damaged in any way. Only use a dry, soft cloth to clean the LCD panel. Do not use liquid or chemical cleansers. If the LCD panel on your printer's control panel is damaged, contact your dealer. 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.
When using the optional battery
If battery acid gets into your eyes or on your skin, immediately rinse the affected area thoroughly with water and seek medical treatment. If a battery is swallowed, seek medical treatment immediately. Use only an Epson Li-ion battery model EU-112 for this printer according to the directions in the user documentation. Replacing the battery with an incorrect model may cause an explosion. Use only AC adapter model A361H to charge the battery and operate the printer. Do not charge or use the battery with devices other than the specified product. Using the battery with other devices may damage the battery or other devices, or may cause an explosion. To protect against short circuits, do not remove the outside case of the battery. Do not handle the battery with wet hands or use them near water.

When using the optional Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter
Refer to the Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter's documentation for the safety instructions.
Do not expose the battery to water or high humidity. Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate, or short-circuit the battery. Do not place the battery near or into fire or water. Do not use the battery that is leaking or damaged in any way. Do not charge the battery on devices except this printer. Do not charge the battery near open flame or in very hot locations. Keep the battery away from heat sources. Do not leave the battery in a vehicle to prevent the battery from overheating. Do not insert objects into any openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-circuit components. Prevent the battery from coming into contact with metal objects that could short-circuit it, such as coins or keys.
Do not solder wires or terminals directly to the battery. Do not touch battery terminals. Keep the battery away from open flame if they leak or smell strange. If overheating, discoloration, or deformation occur, remove the battery from the printer and do not use it. Charge the battery before using it if it has not been used for a long period.
When storing the optional battery
When not using the printer for a long period of time, remove the battery from the printer and store them separately to avoid over-discharging the battery. Do not store the battery where the temperature or humidity is very high. Store the battery out of childrens reach.
When disposing of the optional battery
Before disposing of the battery, make sure you discharge them completely. Warning: Do not dispose of batteries as ordinary refuse. Instead, dispose of them in a collection or recycle box in accordance with local laws. Do not incinerate or dispose of the battery in fire.
Do not shake photo cartridge after removing it from the bag; this can cause leakage. Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this can cause leakage. Do not use a photo cartridge beyond the date printed on the cartridge carton: otherwise, it may result in reduced print quality. For best results, use up the photo cartridge within six months of installing it. Do not dismantle photo cartridges or try to refill them. This could damage the print head. After bringing a photo cartridge inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least three hours before using it. Store photo cartridges in a cool, dark place. The IC chip on the photo cartridge retains a variety of cartridge-related information, such as the amount of ink remaining, so that the cartridge may be removed and reinstalled freely. However, each time the cartridge is inserted, some ink is consumed because the printer automatically performs a reliability check.
For European users: Do not dispose of batteries as ordinary refuse. Instead, dispose of them in a recycle box in accordance with local laws.

If your camera supports DPOF (Digital Print Order Format), you can pre-select which photos to print while the memory card is still in your camera. Then, when you insert the card into PictureMate, it knows which photos you chose. See Printing Camera-Selected DPOF Photos on page 17. If you have a PictBridge- or USB DP (USB Direct Print)-enabled camera, you can connect the camera to PictureMate and control printing right from your camera.

PictureMate lets you correct the color and improve the image quality of your photos without using a computer. If your camera supports PRINT Image Matching, you can use the printers P.I.M. setting to automatically adjust your photos for the best results.
If your camera doesnt support PRINT Image Matching, you can use PhotoEnhance to make adjustments for the type of environment in which your photos were taken.
PhotoEnhance - Use this if a print does not look good; for example, this may correct images that are too dark, too bright, or backlit. OFF - Prints photos as they are or bypasses P.I.M. data. P.I.M. - PictureMate chooses this setting automatically if it detects P.I.M. information saved in your cameras digital files. This information helps ensure an accurate image reproduction. See Basic Photo Printing on page 16 and print using the mode you want.

Connect your cameras USB cable to your camera and the EXT/IF port on the back of PictureMate.
Use the digital camera to select the photo you want to print. Be sure to make the desired print settings on the digital camera because the digital camera settings generally take precedence over the print settings of PictureMate. See your digital camera's documentation for information on more detailed settings. Print from the digital camera.

Press the pattern.

Start button to print the nozzle check
The nozzle check pattern is printed out. See the following illustration.

The printer will print a nozzle check pattern. Below are sample printouts.
If the nozzle check page does not print satisfactorily (for example, if any segment of the printed lines is missing), there is a problem with the printer. This could be a clogged ink nozzle or a misaligned print head. See Cleaning the Print Head on page 40.

Cleaning the Print Head

If your print quality is not as good as it used to be, if your photos are light or faint, or you are missing colors in your prints, your print head nozzles may be clogged. Note: Print head cleaning consumes some ink. To avoid wasting ink, clean the print head only if print quality declines; for example, if the printout is blurry or the color is incorrect or missing. Use the Nozzle Check function first to confirm that the print head needs to be cleaned. This saves ink. If a message on the LCD screen tells you that the cartridge is empty or low on ink, you cannot clean the print head. You must first replace the photo cartridge. Make sure that PictureMate is turned on and no warnings or errors are displayed on the LCD panel. Press the Mode button to select.
