Important Safety Instructions
Restrictions on Copying
In this document, warnings, cautions, and notes indicate the following:
Warnings
must be followed carefully to avoid bodily injury.
Cautions
must be observed to avoid damage to your equipment.
Notes
contain important information and useful tips on the operation of this product.
Read all these instructions, and follow all warnings and instructions marked on the scanner.
Place the scanner close enough to the computer for the interface cable to reach it easily. Do not place or store the scanner or the
AC adapter outdoors, near excessive dirt or dust, water, heat sources, or in locations subject to shocks, vibrations, high
temperature or humidity, direct sunlight, strong light sources, or rapid changes in temperature or humidity. Do not use with wet
hands.
Place the scanner and the AC adapter near an electrical outlet where the adapter can be easily unplugged.
Caution:
Be sure the AC power cord meets the relevant local safety standards.
The AC power cord should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do not place objects on top of the AC
power cord and do not allow the AC adapter or the AC power cord to be stepped on or run over. Be particularly careful to keep
both of the AC power cords straight at the ends and the points where they enter the AC adapter.
Use only the AC adapter that comes with your scanner. Using any other adapter could cause fire, electrical shock, or injury.
The AC adapter is designed for use with the scanner with which it was included. Do not attempt to use it with other electronic
devices unless specified.
Use only the type of power source indicated on the product’s label.
When connecting this product to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the correct orientation of the connectors. Each
connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a connector in the wrong orientation may damage both devices connected by
the cable.
Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.
If you use an extension cord with the scanner, 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.
Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the AC adapter, scanner, or scanner option by yourself except as specifically
explained in the scanner’s guides.
Do not insert objects into any opening as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts. Beware of electrical shock
hazards.
If damage occurs to the plug, replace the cord set or consult a qualified electrician. If there are fuses in the plug, make sure you
replace them with fuses of the correct size and rating.
Unplug the scanner and the AC adapter, and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: The AC
adapter or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the scanner or the AC adapter; the scanner or the AC adapter has been dropped
or the case has been damaged; the scanner or the AC adapter does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in
performance. (Do not adjust controls that are not covered by the operating instructions.)
Unplug the scanner and the AC adapter before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth only. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
If you are not going to use the scanner for a long period, be sure to unplug the AC adapter from the electrical outlet.
WARNING:
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.)
Restrictions on Copying
Observe the following restrictions to ensure responsible and legal use of your scanner.
Copying of the following items is prohibited by law:
Bank bills, coins, government-issued marketable securities, government bond securities, and municipal securities
Unused postage stamps, pre-stamped postcards, and other official postal items bearing valid postage
Government-issued revenue stamps, and securities issued according to legal procedure
Exercise caution when copying the following items:
Private marketable securities (stock certificates, negotiable notes, checks, etc.), monthly passes, concession tickets, etc.
Passports, driver’s licenses, warrants of fitness, road passes, food stamps, tickets, etc.
Note:
Copying these items may also be prohibited by law.

Epson encourages each user to be responsible and respectful of the copyright laws when using any Epson product. While some countries’
laws permit limited copying or reuse of copyrighted material in certain circumstances, those circumstances may not be as broad as some
