Removing And Installing Ink Cartridges - Epson stylus photo 1410 Reference Manual

Note:
You cannot continue printing with one ink cartridge expended, even if the other
cartridges still contain ink. Before printing, replace the expended cartridge.
The IC chip on these ink cartridges retains a variety of cartridge
related-information, such as the ink cartridge status, so that the cartridge may be
removed and reinserted freely. However, each time the cartridge is inserted,
some ink is consumed because the printer automatically performs a reliability
check.
If you remove a cartridge that is low (for which you have received an "Ink low"
message), you cannot reuse it.

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 expended 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.
Note:
Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink.
Cartridges are vacuum packed to maintain reliability.
