Replacing Ink Cartridges
Precautions
❏ Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson ink
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 product behavior.
Information about non-genuine ink levels may not
be displayed.
❏ You cannot use the cartridge that came with your
product for the replacement.
❏ To maintain optimum print head performance,
some ink is consumed from all cartridges not only
during printing but also during maintenance
operations such as ink cartridge replacement and
print head cleaning.
❏ If you need to remove an ink cartridge temporarily,
be sure to protect the ink supply area from dirt and
dust. Store the ink cartridge in the same
environment as the 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.
❏ 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.
Replacing an Ink
Cartridge
When prompted to replace an ink cartridge,
A
open the scanner unit and press OK. The ink
cartridge holder moves to the ink cartridge
replacement position.
When you replace an ink cartridge before it is
expended, follow the instruction below.
Press x and select Maintenance > Ink
Cartridge Replacement.
Important:
c
❏ Do not lift up the scanner unit when the
document cover is open.
❏ Do not open the ink cartridge package until you are
ready to install it in the product. The cartridge is
vacuum packed to maintain its reliability. If you
leave a cartridge unpacked for a long time before
using it, normal printing may not be possible.
❏ Install all ink cartridges; otherwise, you cannot
print.
❏ Do not move the ink cartridge holder by hand;
otherwise, you may damage the product.

C
five times and then unpack.
Important:
c
❏ 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 IC chip or the small
window on the side of the cartridge. Doing so
may prevent normal operation and printing.
Remove only the yellow tape.
D
15
Important:
c
❏ 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.
❏ If you have installed an ink cartridge without
removing the yellow tape, take the cartridge
out of the product, remove the yellow tape, and
then reinstall it.
❏ Do not remove the transparent seal from the

cartridge may become unusable.
❏ Do not remove or tear the label on the
cartridge; otherwise, ink will leak.
