Copying Basics
You can copy on A4-size paper at the same magnification. Margins with a width of 3 mm appear around the edges
of the paper regardless of whether or not the original has margins around the edges of the paper. When copying
originals smaller than A4-size, margins will be wider than 3 mm depending on the position where you place the
original.
1. Load the same number of sheets of A4-size paper as the number of copies you want to copy.
“Loading Paper in the Rear Paper Feeder” on page 26
3. Press the or button the same number of times as the number of copies you want to make. For
example, if you want to make 10 copies in color, press the button 10 times.
Note:
Press the button within one second to change the number of copies. If the button is pressed after one second, the number
of copies is set and copying starts.

Scanning
What is a "Scan"?
A "scan" is the process of converting the optical information of paper data (such as documents, magazine clippings,
photos, handwritten illustrations, and so on) into digital image data.
You can save scanned data as a digital image such as a JPEG or PDF.
You can then print the image, send it by email, and so on.
Scanning Uses
You can use scanning in a variety of ways to make your life more convenient.
❏ By scanning a paper document and turning it into digital data, you can read it on a computer or a smart device.
❏ By scanning tickets or flyers into digital data, you can dispose of the originals and reduce clutter.
❏ By scanning important documents, you can back them up to cloud services or another storage medium, just in
case they get lost.
❏ You can send the scanned photos or documents to friends by email.
❏ By scanning hand-drawn illustrations and so on, you can share them on social media at a much higher quality
than by just taking a photo on your smart device.
❏ By scanning your favorite pages from newspapers or magazines, you can save them and dispose of the originals.

Scanning > Basic Information on Scanning > Recommended File Formats to Suit Your Purpose
Scanning to a Computer
There are two methods of scanning originals to a computer; scanning using the printer’s control panel, and
scanning from the computer.
You can scan easily from the control panel.
Use the scanning application Epson ScanSmart to scan from the computer. You can edit images after scanning.
56
Scanning > Scanning Originals to a Computer > Scanning from the Control Panel
JPEG (.jpg) A file format that allows you to compress the data to be saved. If the compression ratio
is high, the image quality declines, and you cannot convert the image back to the
original quality.
This is the standard image format for digital cameras. This format is suitable for images
that have many colors.
PDF (.pdf) A general file format that can be used across different operating systems and provides
the same level of screen display and print result.
You can view PDF files using dedicated PDF reading software or in Web browsers.
See the table and set the appropriate resolution for the purpose of your scanned image.

unusable.
❏ Do not touch the sections shown in the illustration. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing.
128
Solving Problems > It is Time to Replace the Ink Cartridges > Replacing Ink Cartridges (When Ink Light is Off)
❏ If you need to remove an ink cartridge temporarily, make sure you protect the ink supply area from dirt and
dust. Store the ink cartridge in the same environment as the printer, with the ink supply port facing down or
sideways. Do not store ink cartridges with the ink supply port facing up. Because the ink supply port is
equipped with a valve designed to contain the release of excess ink, there is no need to supply your own covers
or plugs.
❏ Removed ink cartridges may have ink around the ink supply port, so be careful not to get any ink on the
surrounding area when removing the cartridges.
❏ This printer uses ink cartridges equipped with a green chip that monitors information such as the amount of
remaining ink for each cartridge. This means that even if the cartridge is removed from the printer before it is
expended, you can still use the cartridge after reinserting it back into the printer. However, when reinserting a
cartridge, some ink may be consumed to guarantee printer performance.
❏ For maximum ink efficiency, only remove an ink cartridge when you are ready to replace it. Ink cartridges with
low ink status may not be used when reinserted.
❏ To ensure you receive premium print quality and to help protect your print head, a variable ink safety reserve
remains in the cartridge when your printer indicates to replace the cartridge. The yields quoted for you do not
include this reserve.
❏ Do not disassemble or remodel the ink cartridge, otherwise you may not be able to print normally.
❏ You cannot use the cartridges that came with the printer for the replacement.
Ink consumption
❏ To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all cartridges during maintenance
operations. Ink may also be consumed when you replace ink cartridge or turn the printer on.
❏ When printing in monochrome or grayscale, color inks instead of black ink may be used depending on the
paper type or print quality settings. This is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.
❏ The ink in the ink cartridges supplied with your printer is partly used during initial setup. In order to produce
high quality printouts, the print head in your printer will be fully charged with ink. This one-off process
consumes a quantity of ink and therefore these cartridges may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink
cartridges.
❏ Quoted yields may vary depending on the images that you are printing, the paper type that you are using, the
frequency of your prints and environmental conditions such as temperature.
! Caution:
Be careful not to trap your hand or fingers when opening or closing the scanner unit. Otherwise you may be injured.
