Replacing Ink
Cartridges
Ink Cartridge Handling Precautions
c
Never move the print head by hand.
O
Some ink is consumed from all cartridges during
O
the following operations: print head cleaning and
ink charging when an ink cartridge is installed.
For maximum ink eciency, only remove an ink
O
cartridge when you are ready to replace it. Ink
cartridges with low ink status may not be used
when reinserted.
Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson ink
O
cartridges. Epson cannot guarantee the quality
or reliability of non-genuine ink. 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.
Information about non-genuine ink levels may
not be displayed, and use of non-genuine ink is
recorded for possible use in service support.
Make sure you have a new ink cartridge before
O
you begin replacement. Once you start replacing
a cartridge, you must complete all the steps in one
session.
Leave the expended cartridge installed until you
O
have obtained a replacement. Otherwise the ink
remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.
Do not open the ink cartridge package until you
O
are ready to install it in the printer. The cartridge is
vacuum packed to maintain its reliability.
Other products not manufactured by Epson may
O
cause damage that is not covered by Epson’s
warranties, and under certain circumstances, may
cause erratic printer behavior.
Do not turn o the printer during ink charging as
O
this will waste ink.
When an ink cartridge is expended, you cannot
O
continue printing even if the other cartridges still
contain ink.
