About the USB connector (USB-A - Device Charging, The white USB connector)
Use a genuine USB cable for your tablet, smart phone, or your USB device.
Depending on the charging function of your device, it may be impossible to charge the device through the printer.
To set an optimum current value for charging the connected device, it may take several seconds before charging starts. Charging may stop temporarily immediately after the device is connected.
If a device that requires current that exceeds the rated current of the USB connector (USB-A - Device Charging) is connected, charging is stopped.
Depending on the settings or usage conditions of the device, it may not be fully charged. To fully charge the device, darken its screen or take such other measures to reduce power consumption.
Seiko Epson Corporation assumes no responsibility for economic damages or problems arising from failure of charging the connected device due to a failure or malfunction of the product.
When a tablet computer is connected to the USB-A - Device Charging connector, the Bluetooth function of the printer is disabled. To charge the device keeping it connected via Bluetooth, change the Interface selection setting to "Bluetooth only". For more details, see the Technical Reference Guide. However, if you do so, the maximum supply current is limited to 0.5 A, which may not be enough for charging some types of tablet. Please use the tablet after testing and evaluating it adequately.
When connecting an Android device to the USB-A – Device Charging connector for data communication, make sure that the device satisfies the following requirements.
Requirements: The version of Android OS is 10 or later with kernel version 4.9.15 or later
However, Epson does not guarantee normal operation of all Android devices even if they satisfy the requirements. Run some tests before actually using the device.
If the printer is connected to a wired network, an iOS tablet connected to the printer via the USB connector can access the network through the Lightning to USB cable. For more details, see "Network Tethering" section of Technical Reference Guide.
