Warning: Keep the ink bottles out of the reach of children and do not
drink the ink.
Caution: This product requires careful handling of ink. If ink spills,
wipe it off immediately with a damp towel to avoid permanent stains.
If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.
Note:
• Epson cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of third-party ink.
• Use the ink bottles included with the printer to set up the product.
Part of the ink will be used to charge the print head. These bottles
will print fewer pages compared with replacement ink bottles.
• The included ink bottles are designed for reliable printer setup and
cannot be resold.
Epson recommends the use of Genuine Epson 524 pigment
inks. The use of any other inks may cause damage not covered
by the warranty, particularly if they are not pigment. Epson
cannot guarantee that non-Epson 524 inks are pigment, even if
labeled as compatible.
1 Open the ink tank cover, then open the cap for the
black ink tank.
Note: Refer to the color-coded sticker on the ink tank unit to
identify the color of each tank.
2 Unpack the black (BK) ink bottle. Hold the ink bottle
upright and slowly turn the bottle cap to remove it.
Caution: Do not shake or squeeze the ink bottle. Do not touch
the top of the ink bottle after its cap is removed.
3 Insert the ink bottle into the filling port.
Note: Do not force the bottle into position; each bottle is keyed
for each color.
4 Wait for the ink to fill the tank. Do not squeeze the bottle
or allow it to contact any other surface.
Note: Ink flows into the tank and stops automatically when the
ink is filled to the upper line. If ink does not flow from the bottle,
lift and reinsert the bottle.
5 When the ink tank is full, remove the ink bottle
and securely close it with the cap. If any ink
remains in the bottle, store it for later use.
