Installing the ink cartridges

This section describes the procedure for installing the ink cartridges for the first time.

See “Changing the ink cartridge” in the PP-100NII User’s Guide for the procedure to change the ink cartridge in daily

operation.

• Use of Epson brand ink cartridges is recommended. Use of non-Epson brand ink cartridges can result in problems that will not be covered by the warranty.

• Epson cannot guarantee the quality and reliability of non-Epson brand products. Repairs for any damage or breakdown of this product due to the use of non-Epson brand products will not be free of charge even if the warranty period is still valid.

• This product performs color adjustment based on use of Epson brand ink cartridges. Use of non-Epson brand ink products can adversely affect the printing quality and prevent the product from realizing its maximum performance.

• Do not store ink cartridges in environments exposed to high temperatures, freezing temperatures, or to direct sunlight.

• Even when Black is selected in the printer driver, all the ink colors are used in an operation designed to maintain the printing and print head quality.

Preparation

Open the ink cartridge cover by pressing the knob at the bottom right of the cover.

Remove the ink cartridge from its package.

Do not touch the chip section.

Click

• The first time you install ink cartridges, use the ink cartridges supplied with the product or use ink cartridges in which there is a sufficient amount of ink remaining.

• For optimum printing quality, do not open the transparent plastic package until immediately before installation. Also, after opening the package, try to use it up within six months. Using an ink cartridge that has been left opened for an extended period of time can result in poor printing quality.

• When opening the plastic package, be careful that the ink cartridge does not drop. This could cause the ink to leak.

• Do not place the ink cartridge with the ink supply holes facing downward. This could cause stains on a desk or other surface. Also, dust and other substances can adhere to the ink cartridge so that it does not function properly.

• Do not shake the ink cartridges too hard. The ink cartridges may leak if you shake them around too much.

• Do not touch the green chip section attached to the ink cartridge. Also, never peel off the labels and film affixed to the ink cartridge. This could prevent proper installation, operation, or printing with the ink cartridge, and cause a leak.

Preparation

• Use up the ink cartridge before the expiration date labeled on the inkcartridge.

Insert all six color ink cartridges into the ink cartridge holders by gently pressing them in

until they click into place.

Check the label color of the ink cartridge and the label color of the ink cartridge holder, and install the ink cartridge in the same color position. Press section of the ink cartridge, and push straight in firmly.

Install all six ink cartridges. If any of the colors is not installed, disc publishing (writing/ printing) cannot be performed.

Close the ink cartridge cover.

Press the power button to turn on the power.

The Power LED flashes, and ink filling (loading ink) is started.

Preparation

• When using for the first time, the product operates to prepare the internal components of the product (loading ink).

• While ink is being loaded (approximately 5 minutes), do not turn off the power or open the ink cartridge cover. These actions would make it necessary to perform the loading ink operation again, resulting in the consumption of a substantial amount of ink. Also, printing may be unable to be performed properly.

• If the ink cartridges are not recognized even though they are installed correctly, dust or another object may be adhering to the green chip surface. Use a soft cloth to wipe off the object, and then reinstall the cartridge.

• If printing cannot be performed properly even though the ink cartridges are installed, perform head cleaning. See “Head cleaning” in the PP-100NII User’s Guide for details on the head cleaning procedure.

• When the power is turned off using the power button on the main unit, the print head is automatically capped to prevent drying of the ink. After the ink cartridge is installed, be sure to use the power button on the main unit to turn off the power whenever the product is not used. Do not disconnect the power plug or shut off the circuit breaker while the power is still on.

• If moving or transporting the product after the ink cartridges are installed, leave them installed during the moving or transporting process.

• The ink cartridges should only be removed when replacing them.

When the ink cartridges are installed for the first time (during setup), ink is consumed for filling (loading ink), and so the ink cartridge will need to be replaced earlier than normal.
