24 Replacing Ink Cartridges
Ink Cartridge Precautions
Warning: Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children, and don’t drink the ink.
If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets in your
eyes, flush them immediately with water.
Caution: Don’t remove the cartridge label, or ink will leak.
Don’t remove the green IC chip from the cartridge. Installing a cartridge without an IC
chip can damage the printer. Avoid touching the green IC chip, as this can damage the
ink cartridge.
If you remove an ink cartridge temporarily, protect the ink supply port on the bottom of
the cartridge from dirt and dust. Place it in a small box, or, if you have the original
packaging, return it to its own box.
Store ink cartridges in the same environment as the printer. Stand the cartridges
upright (the label identifying the color should be on top).
Note: You cannot continue printing with one ink cartridge empty, even if the other
cartridges still contain ink. Before printing, replace the empty cartridge.
Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges
Be sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. Once you start replacing a
cartridge, you must complete all the steps in one session.
Caution: Leave the empty cartridge installed until you have obtained a replacement, or
the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out. To ensure good results, use
genuine Epson ink cartridges and do not refill them. Other products may cause damage
to your printer not covered by Epson’s warranty.
1. Make sure the printer is turned on. (The green P power light should be on,
but not flashing.) Then open the printer cover.
2. Press and release the H ink button.
