Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges

Purchase EPSON Ink Cartridges

Note: We recommend that you use genuine EPSON cartridges and do not refill them. The use of other products may affect your print quality and could result in printer damage.

The printer ships with full cartridges and part of the ink from this first set of cartridges is used for priming the printer. Yields vary considerably 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.

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. If an ink cartridge is low, the ink out light on the control panel flashes and a message appears on your computer screen. The ink out light remains illuminated if the cartridge is completely expended. Note which cartridges need to be replaced.

3. Open the cover.

Page 94

4. Open the cartridge cover.

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.

5. Squeeze the tab on the cartridge and lift the cartridge straight up to remove it.

Page 95

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. 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.

8. Insert the new cartridge into the holder and push it down until it clicks into place.

Page 96

9. Close the cartridge cover and push it down until it clicks into place. When you are finished, close the cover.

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.

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 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.
