Replacing Ink Cartridges

Precautions

w Warning:

If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If you still have discomfort or vision problems, see a doctor immediately.

■ Never move the print head by hand.

■ When an ink cartridge is expended, you

cannot continue printing even if the other cartridges still contain ink.

■ Leave the expended cartridge installed

until you have obtained a replacement. Otherwise the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.

■ Some ink is consumed each time

cartridges are inserted because the printer automatically checks their reliability.

■ For maximum ink efficiency, only remove

an ink cartridge when you are ready to replace it. Ink cartridges with low ink status may not be used when reinserted.

Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges

Make sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. Once you start replacing a cartridge, you must complete all the steps in one session.

Note:

Do not open the ink cartridge package until you are ready to install it in the printer. The cartridge is vacuum packed to maintain its reliability.

1. Do one of the following:

■ If an ink cartridge is expended:

Look at the message on the LCD screen to find out which cartridge should be replaced, then press OK.

■ If an ink cartridge is not expended:

Press F Setup. Select Maintenance, and press OK. Select Change Ink Cartridge, and press OK.

2. Lift up the scanner unit.

English

■ Epson recommends the use of genuine

Epson ink cartridges. The use of non-genuine ink may cause damage that is not covered by Epson's warranties, and under certain circumstances, may cause erratic printer behavior. Epson cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-genuine ink. Information about the ink cartridge status is not displayed when non-genuine ink is used.

c Caution:

Do not lift up the scanner unit when the document cover is open.

Replacing Ink Cartridges 27

3. Open the cartridge cover.

c Caution:

Never attempt to open the cartridge cover while the print head is moving. Wait until the print head has stopped at the replacement position.

4. Squeeze the tab and lift it straight up.

c Caution:

❏ Be careful not to break the hooks on the

side of the ink cartridge when you remove it from the package.

❏ Do not touch the green chip on the side of

the cartridge. This can damage the ink cartridge.

6. Remove the yellow tape.

c Caution:

❏ You must remove the yellow tape from the

cartridge before installing it; otherwise, print quality may decline or you may not be able to print.

❏ Do not remove the seal.

Caution:

Do not refill the ink cartridge. Other products not manufactured by Epson may cause damage that is not covered by Epson's warranties, and under certain circumstances, may cause erratic printer behavior.

Note:

If it is difficult to remove the cartridge, lift the cartridge with more force until comes out.

5. Before you open the new ink cartridge package, shake it four or five times. Then remove it from the package.

❏ Be sure to always install an ink cartridge

into the printer immediately following the removal of the current ink cartridge. If the ink cartridge is not installed promptly, the print head may dry out, rendering it unable to print.

7. Place the new ink cartridge in the cartridge holder and press it down until it clicks into place.

8. Close the ink cartridge cover and press it until it clicks into place.

28 Replacing Ink Cartridges

c Caution:

If you find it difficult to close the cover, make sure all the cartridges are firmly seated. Press down on each cartridge until you hear it click into place. Do not attempt to force the cover closed.

9. Close the scanner unit.

English

10. Press OK.

The ink delivery system starts charging.

c Caution:

Do not turn off the printer during ink charging as this will waste ink.

Note:

If a message on the LCD screen still tells you that a cartridge should be replaced, the ink cartridges may not be installed properly. Press OK again, and press down the ink cartridge until it clicks into place.

Maintenance

Checking the Ink Cartridge Status

You can check which cartridge is low.

1. Press F Setup.

2. Select Ink Levels, then press OK.

You see a graphic showing the ink cartridge status:

C (Cyan), M (Magenta), Y (Yellow), B (Black)

When your ink starts getting low, is displayed.

3. Press y Back to return to the previous

screen.

2. Press F Setup. (If you have just finished cleaning the print head, you can start the nozzle check by pressing x Start.)

3. Select Maintenance, then press OK.

4. Select Nozzle Check, then press OK.

5. Press x Start.

6. Examine the nozzle check pattern you printed.

■ If your printout looks like the one

shown below, the print head does not need to be cleaned yet. Press OK to return to the main menu.

■ If your printout has gaps like the one

shown below, clean the print head as described in the next section.

Note:

Epson cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-genuine ink. If non-genuine ink cartridges are installed, the ink cartridge status may not be displayed.

Checking and Cleaning the Print Head

If your printouts are unexpectedly light, colors are missing, or you see light or dark lines across the page, you may need to clean the print head.

Tip:

To maintain print quality, we recommend printing a few pages on a regular basis.

Checking the print head

You can print a nozzle check pattern to see if any print head nozzles are clogged, or to check the results after cleaning the print head.

Cleaning the print head

Follow these steps to clean the print head so it can deliver ink properly. Before cleaning the print head, run a nozzle check to see if the print head needs cleaning (& “Checking the print head” on page 30).

Note:

❏ Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if

quality declines.

❏ When ink is low, you may not be able to clean

the print head. When ink is expended, you cannot clean the print head. Replace the appropriate ink cartridge first (& “Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges” on page 27).

1. Press F Setup.

2. Select Maintenance, then press OK.

3. Select Head Cleaning, then press OK.

1. Load A4-size plain paper (& page 8).

30 Maintenance

4. Press x Start.

The printer begins cleaning the print head. Follow the message on the LCD screen.

c Caution:

Never turn off the printer while head cleaning is in progress. You may damage it.

5. When cleaning finishes, a message is displayed on the LCD screen. Press x Start to print a nozzle check pattern to check the results (& “Checking the print head” on page 30).

If there are still gaps or the test patterns are faint, run another cleaning cycle and check the nozzles again.

Note:

If you do not see any improvement after cleaning about four times, turn off the printer and wait for at least six hours. This lets any dried ink soften. Then try cleaning the print head again. If quality still does not improve, one of the ink cartridges may be old or damaged and needs to be replaced (& “Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges” on page 27).

8. Enter the numbers for the other patterns in the same way.

9. When you finish, press OK and you see a message indicating alignment is complete.

English

Aligning the Print Head

If your printouts contain misaligned vertical lines or horizontal banding, you may be able to solve this problem by aligning the print head.

1. Load A4-size plain paper (& page 8).

2. Press F Setup.

3. Select Maintenance, then press OK.

4. Select Head Alignment, then press OK.

5. Press x Start. Four rows of alignment

patterns are printed.

6. Look at pattern #1 and find the patch that is most evenly printed, with no noticeable streaks or lines.

7. Select the number for that patch, then press OK.
