Ink Bottle Handling Precautions
Read the following instructions before relling ink.
Storing precautions for ink
❏ Keep the ink bottles out of direct sunlight.
❏ Do not store the ink bottles in high or freezing temperatures.
❏ Epson recommends using the ink bottle before the date printed on the package.
❏ When storing or transporting an ink bottle, do not tilt the bottle and do not subject it to impacts or temperature
changes. Otherwise, ink may leak even if the cap on the ink bottle is tightened securely. Be sure to keep the ink
bottle upright when tightening the cap, and take precautions to prevent ink from leaking when transporting the
bottle, for example, putting the bottle in a bag.
❏ Aer bringing an ink bottle inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least
three hours before using it.
❏ Do not open the ink bottle package until you are ready to ll the ink tank. e ink bottle is vacuum packed to
maintain its reliability. If you leave an ink bottle unpacked for a long time before using it, normal printing may
not be possible.
❏ Once you open an ink bottle, we recommend using it as soon as possible.
Handling precautions for relling ink
❏ To ensure you receive premium print quality and to help protect your print head, a variable ink safety reserve
remains in the ink tank when your printer indicates to rell ink. e yields quoted for you do not include this
reserve.
❏ For optimum print results do not maintain low ink levels for extended periods of time.
❏ To obtain optimum printing results,
rell
the ink tank to the upper line at least once every year.
❏ Use ink bottles with the correct part code for this printer.
❏ e ink for this printer must be handled carefully. Ink may splatter when the ink tank is being lled or relled
with ink. If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come o.
❏ Do not shake too vigorously or squeeze the ink bottles.
❏ Prolonged use of the printer when the ink level is below the lower line could damage the printer. Fill the ink
tank to the upper line while the printer is not operating. To display the correct ink level estimates, reset the ink
level aer lling the tank.
Ink consumption
❏ To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from the ink tank during maintenance
operations such as print head cleaning. Ink may also be consumed when you turn the printer on.
❏ e ink in the ink bottle supplied with your printer is partly used during initial setup. In order to produce high
quality printouts, the print head in your printer will be fully charged with ink. is one-o process consumes a
quantity of ink and therefore this bottle may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink bottles.
❏ Quoted yields may vary depending on the images that you are printing, the paper type that you are using, the
frequency of your prints and environmental conditions such as temperature.
