Replacing Ink Cartridges

This product monitors the amount of ink left in each cartridge, using an IC chip built into the cartridge. If it detects the ink is low or running out, it notifies you of the ink cartridge to replace, using a message on the LCD panel or your computer.

Ink Cartridges

You can use the following cartridges with this product.

Black ink cartridge Black T0461

Color ink cartridge Cyan

Caution:

Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson ink cartridges. Epson

will not warranty any damage caused by the use of other products.

Precautions on Ink Cartridge Replacement

Read all of the instructions in this section and “When handling ink cartridges” on page 8 before replacing the ink cartridges.

❏ If you need to remove an ink cartridge temporarily from this

product, be sure to protect the ink supply area of the ink cartridge from dirt and dust. Store the ink cartridge in the same environment as this product. When storing the cartridge, be sure that its label identifying the color of the ink cartridge is facing upward. Do not store ink cartridges upside down.

53 Replacing Ink Cartridges

❏ The valve in the ink supply port is designed to contain any excess

ink that may be released. However, careful handling is recommended. Do not touch the supply port of the ink cartridge or its surrounding area.

❏ This product uses ink cartridges equipped with an IC chip. The

IC chip accurately monitors the amount of ink used by each cartridge, so even if a cartridge is removed and then later inserted again, all of its ink can be used. However, some ink is consumed each time the cartridge is inserted because this product automatically checks its reliability.

❏ When an ink cartridge becomes empty, you cannot continue

copying or printing even if the other cartridges still contain ink. Before copying or printing, replace the empty cartridge.

❏ In addition to being used in document copying or printing, ink

is also consumed in the following operations: print head cleaning, self-cleaning cycle performed when this product is turned on, and ink charging when an ink cartridge is installed in this product.

❏ Do not refill the ink cartridges. This product calculates the

amount of ink remaining using an IC chip built into an ink cartridge. Even if the cartridge is refilled, the amount of ink remaining is not recalculated by the IC chip and therefore the amount of ink available for use does not change.

❏ After an ink cartridge is replaced, if the ink is low it may become

empty. When a message appears to indicate the ink is low, prepare a new ink cartridge.

Replacing Ink Cartridges 54

Warning:

Be careful when you handle the used ink cartridges. There may

be some ink around the ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.

Caution:

Leave the used ink cartridge installed until just before

replacement; otherwise, ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.

Maintenance and Transporting

Checking the Print Head Nozzles

If you find that a printed image is unexpectedly faint or some dots in the image are missing, checking the print head nozzles helps you to identify the problem.

Follow the steps below to check the print head nozzles using the control panel.

Note:

When the ! Error light is on and a message appears on the LCD panel to

prompt you to replace an ink cartridge or to indicate the ink is low, you cannot clean the print head. In this case, replace the appropriate ink cartridge first.

1. Make sure that A4 or Letter paper is loaded in the sheet feeder.

2. Make sure that this product is on, and the ! Error light is off.

3. Press the Setup Mode button to enter the Setup Mode.

4. Press the A or the l/r Select button repeatedly until 3.Nozzle check appears on the LCD panel, and then press the x Color button. This product starts printing.

Maintenance and Transporting 60

5. Check the printout. The following examples indicate when the print head needs to be cleaned.

Good: print head does not need to be cleaned yet.

Not Good: print head needs to be cleaned.

The actual printouts are printed in color (CMYK).

If the nozzle check result is not good, there is a problem with this product. It may be a clogged ink nozzle or a misaligned print head. To solve these problems, see the next two sections for details.

Cleaning the Print Head

If you find that the nozzle check result is unexpectedly faint or some dots in the printed image are missing, you may be able to solve these problems by cleaning the print head, which ensures that the nozzles are delivering ink properly.

Note:

❏ Print head cleaning uses both color and black ink. To avoid wasting ink,

clean the print head only if the copy quality drops (for example, blurred printout, incorrect or missing color).

❏ Before cleaning the print head, perform the nozzle check first to see if it

really needs to be cleaned. This saves ink.
