1 Unpack
Note: Do not open the ink bottles until you are ready to fill the ink tanks. The ink bottles are vacuum packed to maintain reliability.
Remove all protective materials from the product.
Note: Do not turn on the product yet.
2 Fill ink tanks
Warning: Keep the ink bottles out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.
Caution: This product requires careful handling of ink. 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.
Note:
•Epson cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-genuine ink.
•Use the ink bottles included with the printer to set up the product. Part of the ink will be used to charge the print head. These bottles will print fewer pages compared with subsequent ink bottles.
1Open the ink tank cover and the cap for the black ink tank.
Note: Refer to the color-coded sticker on the ink tank unit to identify the color of each tank.
2Unpack the black (BK) ink bottle. Hold the ink bottle upright and slowly turn the bottle cap to remove it.
Caution: Do not shake or squeeze the ink bottles. Do not touch the top of the ink bottle after its cap is removed.
3Place the top of the ink bottle on the filling port, then slowly stand the bottle upright to insert it, as shown.
Note: Do not force the bottles into position; they are keyed for each color.
4 Wait for the ink to fill the tank. Do not squeeze the bottle.
Note: Ink flows into the tank and stops automatically when the ink tank is filled to the upper line. If ink does not flow from the bottle, lift and reinsert the bottle.
5When the ink tank is full, remove the ink bottle and securely close it with the bottle cap.
Note: Do not leave the ink bottle inserted; otherwise the bottle may be damaged or ink may leak. If any ink remains in the bottle, store the bottle upright and top off the ink tank after completing initial setup. See the online User’s Guide for instructions.
