SC-P20500 Series
User's Guide
❏ To ensure print quality, we recommend using all
of the ink before whichever of the following dates
is earlier:
❏ The recommended expiry date shown on the
ink supply unit packaging
❏ One year from the date the ink supply unit
was installed
❏ Ink supply units that have been stored at low
temperatures for an extended period should be
allowed to return to room temperature over a
period of four hours.
❏ The ink level and other data are stored in the IC
chip, allowing ink supply units to be used after
being removed and replaced.
❏ To avoid getting dirt on the ink supply port, store
the removed ink supply unit properly. The ink
supply port has a valve in it so it does not need to
be capped.
❏ Removed ink supply units may have ink around
the ink supply port, so be careful not to get any
ink on the surrounding area.
❏ Do not touch the ink supply unit IC chip. Doing
so may prevent normal operation and printing.
❏ To maintain the quality of the print head, the
printer is designed to stop printing before ink is
completely expended, leaving ink in the used ink
supply units.
❏ Although the ink supply units may contain
recycled materials, this does not affect printer
function or performance.
❏ Do not dismantle or remodel ink supply units.
You may not be able to print properly.
❏ Do not drop or knock an ink supply unit against
hard objects; otherwise, the ink may leak from the
ink supply unit.
Notes on Handling Paper

the paper. If the paper is not in good condition, print
quality may decline.

Introduction
Notes on Handling
❏ Use Epson special media under normal room
conditions (temperature: 15 to 25˚C, humidity: 40
to 60%).
❏ Do not fold the paper or scratch the surface of the
paper.
❏ Avoid touching the printable surface of the paper
with your bare hands. Moisture and oils from
your hands can affect print quality.
❏ Handle paper by the edges. We recommend
wearing cotton gloves.
❏ Changes in temperature and humidity may cause
paper to become wavy or curled. Check the
following points.
❏ Load the paper just before printing.
❏ Do not use wavy or curled paper.
For roll paper, cut off the wavy or curled parts
and then load it again.
For cut sheets, use new paper.
❏ Do not wet the paper.
❏ Do not throw away the paper packaging as you
can use it for storing the paper.
❏ Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight,
excessive heat, or humidity.
❏ Keep cut sheets in their original package after
opening, and keep them in a flat place.
❏ Remove roll paper that is not in use from the
printer. Rewind it correctly and then store it in the
original packaging that came with the roll paper.
If you leave the roll paper in the printer for a long
time, its quality may decline.
