Replacing Ink Cartridges and Maintenance Boxes

The maintenance box stores ink that gets flushed from the system during print head cleaning. When an ink cartridge is expended or the maintenance box is at the end of its service life, you need to replace it.

You may also need to replace a cartridge that is more than six months old if your printouts do not look their best, even after cleaning and aligning the print head.

Note: Please dispose of your used EPSON branded ink cartridges and maintenance boxes responsibly and in accordance with local requirements. If you would like to return your used ink cartridges and maintenance boxes to Epson for proper disposal, please go to www.epson.com/recycle for more information.

from an EPSON authorized reseller. To find the nearest one, call 800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766). Note: We recommend that you use genuine EPSON maintenance boxes and cartridges and do not refill

based on images printed, print settings, paper type, frequency of use, and temperature. For print quality, a variable amount of ink remains in the cartridge after the "replace cartridge" indicator comes on.

Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges

Make sure you have your replacement cartridges handy before you begin. You must install new cartridges immediately after removing the old ones.

Page 88

Caution: Leave your old cartridges in the printer until you are ready to replace them to prevent the print

head nozzles from drying out. Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges are vacuum packed to maintain reliability.

1. Turn on your product.

2. Note which cartridges need to be replaced.

3. Open the front cover.

4. Push the ink cartridge in, then pull it out of the slot.

Note: Dispose of used cartridges carefully. Do not take the used cartridge apart or try to refill it. Warning: If ink gets on your skin, wash it thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes,

flush them immediately with water. If ink gets into your mouth, spit it out and see a doctor right away. Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.

Page 89

5. Remove the cartridge from the package. Caution: Do not touch the green chip on the cartridge. Install the new cartridge immediately after

removing the old one; if you do not, the print head may dry out and be unable to print.

6. Gently shake the ink cartridge horizontally for about five seconds as shown.

Caution: Do not remove any labels or seals, or ink will leak.

7. Insert the new cartridge into the holder and push it in until it clicks into place.

Page 90

8. When you are finished, close the front cover.

After the product checks the cartridges, ink replacement is complete. Remove the ink cartridge and reinstall it to clear the error.

Note: Do not turn off the printer during ink replacement. If you remove a low or expended ink cartridge, you cannot re-install and use the cartridge. Caution: If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust and

store it in the same environment as the printer. The valve in the ink supply port is designed to contain any excess ink, but do not touch the ink supply port or surrounding area. Always store ink cartridges with the label facing up; do not store cartridges upside-down.

Adjusting Print Quality

If your print quality declines, you may need to run a utility to clean or align the print head. If running these utilities does not solve the problem, you may need to replace the ink cartridges.

Print Head Maintenance Print Head Alignment Cleaning the Paper Path

Print Head Maintenance

If your printouts become too light, or you see dark or light bands across them, you may need to clean the print head nozzles. Cleaning uses ink, so clean the nozzles only if print quality declines.

You can check for clogged nozzles before you clean them so you don’t clean them unnecessarily. Note: You cannot clean the print head if an ink cartridge is expended, and may not be able to clean it

when a cartridge is low. You must replace the cartridge first.
