Network Security Recommendations
To help deter unauthorized access to your product over a network, you should protect your network
environment using appropriate security measures.
Security measures such as these can help deter threats such as loss of user data, use of telephone and
fax lines, and other intrusions:
• Enable security on your wireless LAN
Enable the appropriate security on the wireless LAN you plan to use with your product. Network
security such as a network password can deter interception of traffic over the wireless LAN. Your
router may already have a default password enabled by your Internet service provider (ISP). See your
ISP and router documentation for instructions on how to change the default password and better
secure your network.
• Connect your product only to a network protected by a firewall
Connecting your product directly to the Internet may leave it vulnerable to security threats. Instead,
connect it to a router or other network connection protected by a firewall. Your router may already
have a firewall set up by your Internet service provider; check with your ISP for confirmation. For best
results, set up and use a private IP address for your network connection.
• Change the default administrator password on your product
If your product has an option to set an administrator password, change the default administrator
password to deter access by unauthorized users to personal data stored on your product, such as IDs,
passwords, and contact lists.

Scan Resolution Guidelines
The Resolution setting, measured in dpi (dots per inch), controls the amount of detail captured in your
scans. Increasing the resolution raises the amount of detail captured but comes with the following
disadvantages:
• Larger file sizes
• It takes longer to scan your originals, send/receive your scans by email or fax, and to print your scans
• The image may become too large to fit on your display or print on paper
If you plan to enlarge a scanned image so you can print it at a larger size, you may need to increase the
resolution from the default resolution set by Epson Scan 2. Follow these guidelines to determine the
resolution setting you need:
• You will scan the image at its original size but enlarge it later in an image-editing program.
Increase the Epson Scan 2 Resolution setting in your scan. Increase the resolution by the same
amount you will increase the image size to retain a high image quality. For example, if the resolution is
300 dpi (dots per inch) and you will double the image size later, change the Resolution setting to 600
dpi.
• You will scan the image at 100% or a smaller size.
Select the Epson Scan 2 Resolution setting based on how you will use the scanned image:
• Email/view on a computer screen/post on the web: 96 to 200 dpi
• Print/fax/convert to editable text (OCR)/create searchable PDF: 200 to 300 dpi

Refilling Ink
When the ink level is below the lower line on an ink tank, you need to refill it.
Periodically check the ink tanks to see if they need to be refilled.
Before checking the ink levels or refilling an ink tank as described here, be sure to read the ink safety
precautions.
Caution: If the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank, fill it to the upper line on the ink tank.
Continued use of the product when the ink level is below the lower line on a tank could damage the
product.
Ink Safety Precautions
Check Ink Levels
Purchase Epson Ink
Refilling the Ink Tanks
Ink Safety Precautions
Note: Epson strongly recommends the use of genuine ink to ensure optimal print quality and
performance.
Note: The product has a low ink alert system. The accuracy of this system depends on the user refilling
the ink tanks correctly. The product cannot directly measure the ink levels in the tanks; instead it
estimates the amount of ink remaining by internally monitoring ink usage. The low ink alert system may
generate inaccurate messages if the ink tanks are not refilled according to these instructions.
As a precaution, perform regular visual inspections of the ink tanks to ensure ink levels do not fall below
the lower line. Continued use of the product when the ink level is below the lower line on the tank could
damage the product.
Ink Handling Precautions
• Keep ink bottles and the ink tanks out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to drink from or
handle the ink bottles and bottle caps.
• Do not tilt or shake an ink bottle after opening it; otherwise, ink may leak.
• Be careful not to touch any ink when you handle the ink tanks, ink tank caps, and opened ink bottles or
ink bottle caps.
143
• If ink gets on your skin, wash it thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them
immediately with water. If discomfort or problems persist, see a doctor immediately. If ink gets into
your mouth, spit it out and see a doctor right away.
• Do not shake or squeeze the ink bottles.
• If ink spills, wipe it up immediately. To prevent the ink from spreading, blot the spill with a dry cloth,
then wipe it with a damp cloth. The ink will be hard to remove once it has dried.
Ink Refilling Precautions
• Use ink bottles with the correct part number for this product.
• Epson's warranties do not extend to any damage caused by the use of third-party ink or ink not
designed for your printer.
• This product requires careful handling of ink. Ink may splatter when the ink tanks are filled or refilled
with ink. If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.
• Do not open the ink bottle package until you are ready to fill an ink tank. Ink bottles are vacuum
packed to maintain reliability. If you leave an ink bottle unpacked for a long time before using it, print
quality may be affected.
• If the ink level is below the lower line on an ink tank, refill the ink. Continued use of the product when
the ink level is below the lower line on an ink tank could damage the product.
• Visually check the ink levels in the product’s ink tanks to confirm the actual ink levels. Continued use
of the product when the ink is expended could damage the product.
• Do not maintain low ink levels for extended periods of time.
• Epson recommends filling an ink tank to the upper line before resetting the ink level.
• After bringing an ink bottle inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for
at least three hours before using it.
• Use the ink bottle before the date printed on the package.
• After opening an ink bottle, Epson recommends using it as soon as possible.
• Wipe off any ink around the tanks and ports with a clean, lint-free cloth or cotton swab.
• Store ink bottles in a cool, dark place. Keep them out of direct sunlight.
• Do not store the ink bottles in high or freezing temperatures.
• Store the ink bottles in the same environment as the product. When storing or transporting an opened
ink bottle, do not tilt the bottle and do not subject it to impacts or temperature changes. Otherwise, ink
may leak even if the cap on the ink bottle is tightened securely. Be sure to keep the ink bottle upright
when tightening the cap, and take measures to prevent ink from leaking when you transport the bottle.
144
Ink Bottle and Ink Tank Information
• To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all ink tanks during printing
and when performing maintenance operations, such as cleaning the print head.
• Some ink in the ink bottles supplied with your product is used during initial setup; these ink bottles may
print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink bottles.
• The ink bottles may contain recycled materials, but this does not affect product function or
performance.
• The specification and appearance of the ink bottles are subject to change without prior notice for
improvement.
• When printing in monochrome or grayscale, color ink may be used instead of black ink, depending on
the paper type or print quality settings. This is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.
• A reserve amount of ink remains in the tank when your product indicates that a refill is necessary. The
yields quoted for you do not include this reserve.

Refilling the Ink Tanks
Make sure you have new ink bottles handy and have read the ink safety precautions before you begin.
You can continue to use the product even if one or more ink tanks are not filled all the way. However, for
the most accurate ink level monitoring, fill all the ink tanks up to the top line.
Note: The product has a low ink alert system. The accuracy of this system depends on the user refilling
the ink tanks correctly. The product cannot directly measure the ink levels in the tanks; instead it
estimates the amount of ink remaining by internally monitoring ink usage. The low ink alert system may
generate inaccurate messages if the ink tanks are not refilled according to these instructions.
150
As a precaution, perform regular visual inspections of the ink tanks to ensure ink levels do not fall below
the lower line. Continued use of the product when the ink level is below the lower line on the tank could
damage the product.
Caution: Wear disposable gloves while refilling the ink tanks to avoid staining your hands. If ink spills,
wipe it off immediately with a damp towel to avoid permanent stains. If ink gets on your clothes or
belongings, it may not come off.
1. Turn on your product.
2. Use the arrow buttons to select Maintenance and press the OK button.
3. Select Fill Ink and press the OK button.
4. Press the down arrow button to read all the safety and usage precautions for filling ink, and then
press the OK button to continue.
5. Open the ink tank cover.
151
6. Open the cap for the ink tank you are going to fill.
Note: Make sure the color of the ink tank matches the ink color you want to refill. Refer to the color-
coded sticker on the ink tank unit to identify the color of each tank. Do not force the bottles into
position; they are keyed for each color.
7. Hold the ink bottle upright and slowly turn the bottle cap to remove it.
152
Caution: Do not shake or squeeze the bottle. Do not touch the top of the bottle after its cap is
removed. Do not allow the top of the ink bottle to hit any objects after removing its cap; otherwise, ink
may spill.
Warning: If ink gets on your skin, wash it thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes,
flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or problems persist, see a doctor immediately. If ink
gets into your mouth, spit it out and see a doctor right away. Keep the ink bottles out of the reach of
children and do not drink the ink.
153
8. Insert the bottle into the ink filling port and wait for the ink to fill the tank. Do not squeeze the bottle.
Ink flows into the tank and stops automatically when the ink is filled to the upper line.
Note: If ink does not flow from the bottle, lift and reinsert the bottle. If the ink has reached the upper
line of the tank, do not remove and reinsert the bottle or ink may leak.
154
9. When the ink tank is full, remove the ink bottle and securely close the ink tank cap.
Note: Do not leave the ink bottle inserted. The bottle may be damaged or ink may leak. If any ink
remains in the bottle, replace the bottle cap and tighten it. Store the bottle upright for later use.

If your printouts become too light, or you see dark or light bands across them, you may need to clean the
print head nozzles. Cleaning uses ink, so clean the nozzles only if print quality declines.
You can check for clogged nozzles before you clean them so you don’t clean them unnecessarily.
Note: You cannot clean the print head if the ink level has reached the lower line on the ink tank, and may
not be able to clean it when the ink level in any of the tanks is low. You must refill the ink tank first.

Message Appears Prompting You to Reset Ink Levels
If you see a message on the LCD screen prompting you to reset the ink levels, do the following:
1. Refill all of the ink tanks or the ink tanks indicated on the LCD screen all the way to the top.
Note: Depending on the operating conditions, you may see the ink reset message even when there is
still ink in the tanks.
2. Select the colors that you refilled on the LCD screen.
3. Follow the instructions on the LCD screen to reset the ink levels.
Note: The product has a low ink alert system. The accuracy of this system depends on the user refilling
the ink tanks correctly. The product cannot directly measure the ink levels in the tanks; instead it
estimates the amount of ink remaining by internally monitoring ink usage. The low ink alert system may
generate inaccurate messages if the ink tanks are not refilled according to these instructions.
As a precaution, perform regular visual inspections of the ink tanks to ensure ink levels do not fall below
the lower line. Continued use of the product when the ink level is below the lower line on the tank could
damage the product.

Product Cannot Connect to a Wireless Router or Access Point
If your product has trouble finding or connecting to a wireless router or access point, try these solutions:
• Make sure to place your product within contact range of your 2.4 GHz router or access point. Avoid
placing your product near a microwave oven, 2.4 GHz cordless phone, or large metal object, such as a
filing cabinet.
Note: If you are using a 5 GHz wireless router, set the router to operate in dual band (2.4 GHz and
5 GHz) mode. If your router uses a single network name (SSID) for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band,
give each band its own network name (SSID) instead, such as Home Network 2.4 GHz and Home
Network 5 GHz. See your router documentation or contact your internet service provider for
instructions.
• Verify that your router or access point is operating correctly by connecting to it from your computer or
another device.
• Print a network connection report and check the codes and messages on the report to help determine
the cause of the problem.
• You may need to disable the firewall and any anti-virus software on your wireless router or access
point.
• Try restarting your router following the instructions in your router documentation.
193
Note: If you are reading these instructions online, you will lose your Internet connection when you
restart your router.
• Check to see if access restrictions, such as MAC address filtering, are set on the router or access
point. If access restrictions are set, add your product's MAC address to your router's address list. To
obtain your product's MAC address, print a network status sheet. Then follow the instructions in your
router or access point documentation to add the address to the list.
• If your router or access point does not broadcast its network name (SSID), follow the instructions that
came with your product to enter your wireless network name manually.
• If your router or access point has security enabled, determine the kind of security it is using and any
required password or passphrase for connection. Then make sure to enter the exact WEP key or WPA
passphrase correctly.
• Check if your computer is restricting the available wireless channels. If so, verify that your wireless
access point is using one of the usable channels and change to a usable channel, if necessary.
• Turn off the devices you want to connect to the network. Wait for about 10 seconds and then turn on
the devices in the following order: wireless router, computer or smart device, and then your product.
Move your product and computer or smart device closer to the wireless router to help with radio wave
communication, and then try to make network settings again.
• If the IP address assigned to the product is 169.254.XXX.XXX and the subnet mask is 255.255.0.0,
the IP address may not be assigned correctly. Check the IP address and the subnet mask assigned to
the product. Restart the wireless router or reset the network settings for the product.
• If you cannot connect your product to a device using Wi-Fi Direct, you may have exceeded the
maximum number of devices connected to your product (8). Print a network status sheet or access
Web Config on the browser for your device and check the number of connected devices. If 8 devices
are already connected, disconnect a device by deleting the product's SSID from the Wi-Fi screen of
that device. If fewer than 8 devices are connected, check the accuracy of your other network settings,
move your device closer to your product, and try connecting again.
• If you are using a Wi-Fi Direct connection that suddenly disconnects, the Wi-Fi direct password on
your device may have been changed. If necessary, delete the existing DIRECT-xxxxxxxx connection
settings from your device and enter a new password. See your device documentation for instructions.

4. Download your product software from the Epson website using the instructions on the Start Here
sheet.
• If you have replaced your router, reinstall your product software to connect to the new router.
Note: If you are using a 5 GHz wireless router, set the router to operate in dual band (2.4 GHz and
5 GHz) mode. If your router uses a single network name (SSID) for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band,
give each band its own network name (SSID) instead, such as Home Network 2.4 GHz and Home
Network 5 GHz. See your router documentation or contact your internet service provider for

• If you enlarged the image size in an image-editing program, you need to increase the image resolution
setting to retain a high image quality. Increase the image resolution by the same amount you increase
the image size. For example, if the image resolution is 300 dpi (dots per inch) and you will double the
image size for printing, change the resolution setting to 600 dpi.
Note: Higher resolution settings result in larger file sizes, which take longer to process and print.
Consider the limitations of your computer system when selecting a resolution, and select the lowest
possible resolution that produces acceptable quality to keep file sizes manageable.

• After you print, the colors in your printout need time to set as the ink dries. During this time, the colors
may look different than you expect. To speed up drying time, do not stack your printouts on top of each
other.
• Your printed colors can never exactly match your on-screen colors. However, you can use a color
management system to get as close as possible. Try using the color management options in your
printer software.
• Select Custom as the Color Correction setting on the More Options tab of the printer software, then
click Advanced. Try changing the Scene Correction setting to something other than Automatic. If
changing that setting does not work, change the Color Management setting to any color correction
method other than PhotoEnhance.
• For best results, use genuine Epson paper.
• If you have not used the product for a long time, run the Power Cleaning utility.
Note: Power Cleaning consumes a lot of ink, so run this utility only if you cannot improve print quality
by cleaning the print head.

Scanned Image Quality Problems
If you encounter quality problems with your scanned image, try these solutions:
Image is Distorted or Blurry
• Do not move your original or your product during scanning.
• Do not press on the document cover or the original with too much force.
• Your product will not operate properly while tilted at an angle. Place your product on a flat, stable
surface that extends beyond its base in all directions.
225
• Adjust these Epson Scan 2 or Epson ScanSmart settings (if available) and try scanning again:
• Increase the Resolution setting.
• If the Image Type setting is Black & White, adjust the Threshold setting.
• If the Image Type setting is Color or Grayscale , select the Unsharp Mask setting.
• If the Image Type setting is Black & White, select Text Enhancement. If the Image Type setting is
Color or Grayscale, change the Text Enhancement setting to High.
Image is Too Dark
• If the Image Type is set to Color or Grayscale, adjust the Brightness setting.
• Check the brightness and contrast settings of your computer monitor.
Back of Original Image Appears in Scanned Image
• Place a piece of black paper on the back of the original and scan it again.
• Adjust these Epson Scan 2 or Epson ScanSmart settings (if available) and try scanning again:
• Select the Advanced Settings tab and adjust the Brightness setting.
• If the Image Type is set to Black & White, select Text Enhancement. If the Image Type is set to
Color or Grayscale, change the Text Enhancement setting to High.
Scanned Image Colors Do Not Match Original Colors
Printed colors can never exactly match the colors on your computer monitor because printers and
monitors use different color systems: monitors use RGB (red, green, and blue) and printers typically use
CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black).
Check the color matching and color management capabilities of your computer, display adapter, and the
software you are using to see if they are affecting the palette of colors you see on your screen.
To adjust the colors in your scanned image, adjust these Epson Scan 2 or Epson ScanSmart settings (if
available) and try scanning again:
• If the Image Type setting is Color or Grayscale , adjust the Contrast setting.
• If the Image Type setting is Black & White or Grayscale, adjust the Color Enhance setting.

Characters are Not Recognized During Conversion to Editable Text (OCR)
If characters in your scanned images are not recognized during OCR conversion, try these solutions:
• Make sure your original is loaded straight on your product.
• Use an original with clear text.
• When saving scanned images as Searchable PDFs, make sure the correct OCR language is selected.
• Adjust the following Epson Scan 2 or Epson ScanSmart settings if available, and try scanning again:
• On the Main Settings tab, make sure you select the correct Image Type for your original.
• On the Main Settings tab, set the Resolution between 200 and 600 dpi.
• On the Advanced Settings tab, select Text Enhancement and choose a setting.
Note: The Text Enhancement setting depends on the selected Image Type.
• If the Image Type is set to Black & White, adjust the Threshold setting on the Advanced Settings
tab. (The Image Option must be set to None.)

Image Colors are Patchy at the Edges
If you are scanning a thick or warped original, cover its edges with paper to block external light as you
scan it.
Parent topic: Solving Scanned Image Quality Problems
Ripple Patterns Appear in an Image
You may see a ripple pattern (called a moiré) in scanned images of printed documents. This is caused
by interference from differing pitches in the scanner's screen and your original's halftone screen. To
reduce this effect, adjust these Epson Scan 2 settings (if available) and try scanning again:
• Select the Descreening setting.
• Select a lower Resolution setting.
• Place the original at a slightly different angle.

Scanned Image Edges are Cropped
If the edges of a scanned image are cropped, make sure your original is placed correctly for scanning. If
necessary, move your original away from the edges of the scanner glass slightly.
In the Epson Scan 2 or Epson ScanSmart settings, set the Edge Fill setting to None.
When scanning using Epson ScanSmart and placing multiple originals on the scanner glass, make sure
there is a gap of at least 0.8 in. (20 mm) between the originals.

ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis. "DISPUTE" DOES NOT INCLUDE IP CLAIMS, or more
specifically, a claim or cause of action for (a) trademark infringement or dilution, (b) patent infringement,
(c) copyright infringement or misuse, or (d) trade secret misappropriation (an "IP Claim"). You and Epson
also agree, notwithstanding Section 1.6,that a court, not an arbitrator, may decide if a claim or cause of
action is for an IP Claim.
1.2 Binding Arbitration. You and Epson agree that all Disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration
according to this Agreement. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JUDGE
OR JURY IN A COURT PROCEEDING AND YOUR GROUNDS FOR APPEAL ARE LIMITED.
Pursuant to this Agreement, binding arbitration shall be administered by JAMS, a nationally recognized
arbitration authority, pursuant to its code of procedures then in effect for consumer related disputes, but
excluding any rules that permit joinder or class actions in arbitration (for more detail on procedure, see
Section 1.6 below). You and Epson understand and agree that (a) the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C.
§1, et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 1, (b) this Agreement
memorializes a transaction in interstate commerce, and (c) this Section 1 shall survive termination of this
Agreement.
1.3 Pre-Arbitration Steps and Notice. Before submitting a claim for arbitration, you and Epson agree to
try, for sixty (60) days, to resolve any Dispute informally. If Epson and you do not reach an agreement to
resolve the Dispute within the sixty (60) days), you or Epson may commence an arbitration. Notice to
Epson must be addressed to: Epson America, Inc., ATTN: Legal Department, 3131 Katella Ave., Los
Alamitos, CA 90720 (the "Epson Address"). The Dispute Notice to you will be sent to the most recent
address Epson has in its records for you. For this reason, it is important to notify us if your address
the Dispute shall include the sender's name, address and contact information, the facts giving rise to the
Dispute, and the relief requested (the "Dispute Notice"). Following receipt of the Dispute Notice, Epson
and you agree to act in good faith to resolve the Dispute before commencing arbitration.
1.4 Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring an individual action in the small
claims court of your state or municipality if the action is within that court's jurisdiction and is pending only
in that court.
246
1.5 WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS. YOU AND EPSON AGREE THAT
EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL
CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR
REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FEDERAL OR STATE
CLASS ACTIONS, OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS. CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS, CLASS-WIDE
ARBITRATIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY-GENERAL ACTIONS, AND ANY OTHER PROCEEDING
WHERE SOMEONE ACTS IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ARE NOT ALLOWED.
ACCORDINGLY, UNDER THE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THIS SECTION, AN
ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT COMBINE OR CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PARTY'S CLAIMS
WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED PARTIES TO AN ARBITRATION
PROCEEDING.
1.6 Arbitration Procedure. If you or Epson commences arbitration, the arbitration shall be governed by
the rules of JAMS that are in effect when the arbitration is filed, excluding any rules that permit arbitration
on a class or representative basis (the "JAMS Rules"), available at http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling
1-800-352-5267, and under the rules set forth in this Agreement. All Disputes shall be resolved by a
single neutral arbitrator, and both parties shall have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the
selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. The arbitrator, and not
any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising
out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement,
including any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. Notwithstanding this broad
delegation of authority to the arbitrator, a court may determine the limited question of whether a claim or
cause of action is for an IP Claim, which is excluded from the definition of "Disputes" in Section 1.1
above. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under
law or in equity. The arbitrator may award you the same damages as a court could, and may award
declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent
necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. In some instances, the costs of
arbitration can exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration
than in court. The arbitrator's award is binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of
competent jurisdiction.
You may choose to engage in arbitration hearings by telephone. Arbitration hearings not conducted by
telephone shall take place in a location reasonably accessible from your primary residence, or in Orange
County, California, at your option.
a) Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding. If either you or Epson decides to arbitrate a Dispute, both parties
agree to the following procedure:
(i) Write a Demand for Arbitration. The demand must include a description of the Dispute and the amount
of damages sought to be recovered. You can find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at
http://www.jamsadr.com ("Demand for Arbitration").
(ii) Send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to: JAMS, 500 North
State College Blvd., Suite 600 Orange, CA 92868, U.S.A.
247
(iii) Send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to the other party (same address as the Dispute
Notice), or as otherwise agreed by the parties.
b) Hearing Format. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made shall not be disclosed
to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Epson is entitled.
The discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute may be allowed during
the arbitration.
c) Arbitration Fees. Epson shall pay, or (if applicable) reimburse you for, all JAMS filings and arbitrator
fees for any arbitration commenced (by you or Epson) pursuant to provisions of this Agreement.
d) Award in Your Favor. For Disputes in which you or Epson seeks $75,000 or less in damages exclusive
of attorney's fees and costs, if the arbitrator's decision results in an award to you in an amount greater
than Epson's last written offer, if any, to settle the Dispute, Epson will: (i) pay you $1,000 or the amount
of the award, whichever is greater; (ii) pay you twice the amount of your reasonable attorney's fees, if
any; and (iii) reimburse you for any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that your attorney
reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing the Dispute in arbitration. Except as
agreed upon by you and Epson in writing, the arbitrator shall determine the amount of fees, costs, and
expenses to be paid by Epson pursuant to this Section 1.6d).
e) Attorney's Fees. Epson will not seek its attorney's fees and expenses for any arbitration commenced
involving a Dispute under this Agreement. Your right to attorney's fees and expenses under Section
1.6d) above does not limit your rights to attorney's fees and expenses under applicable law;
notwithstanding the foregoing, the arbitrator may not award duplicative awards of attorney's fees and
expenses.
1.7 Opt-out. You may elect to opt-out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding, individual
arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this
Agreement by sending a written letter to the Epson Address within thirty (30) days of your assent
to this Agreement (including without limitation the purchase, download, installation of the
Software or other applicable use of Epson Hardware, products and services) that specifies (i)
your name, (ii) your mailing address, and (iii) your request to be excluded from the final, binding
individual arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in
this Section 1. In the event that you opt-out consistent with the procedure set forth above, all
other terms shall continue to apply, including the requirement to provide notice prior to litigation.
1.8 Amendments to Section 1. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, you
and Epson agree that if Epson makes any future amendments to the dispute resolution procedure and
class action waiver provisions (other than a change to Epson's address) in this Agreement, Epson will
obtain your affirmative assent to the applicable amendment. If you do not affirmatively assent to the
applicable amendment, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between the parties in
accordance with the language of this Section 1 (or resolve disputes as provided for in Section 1.7, if you
timely elected to opt-out when you first assented to this Agreement).
248
1.9 Severability. If any provision in this Section 1 is found to be unenforceable, that provision shall be
severed with the remainder of this Agreement remaining in full force and effect. The foregoing shall not
apply to the prohibition against class or representative actions as provided in Section 1.5. This
means that if Section 1.5 is found to be unenforceable, the entire Section 1 (but only Section 1)
shall be null and void.
