Replacing A Maintenance Box - Epson XP-8500 Series User Manual

User's Guide
❏ Do not reuse a maintenance box which has been removed and left detached for a long period. Ink inside the box
will have solidified and no more ink can be absorbed.
❏ Keep the maintenance box out of direct sunlight.
❏ Do not store the maintenance box in high or freezing temperatures.
❏ Once a maintenance box has been installed in a printer it cannot be used with other printers.

Replacing a Maintenance Box

In some print cycles a very small amount of surplus ink may be collected in the maintenance box. To prevent ink
leakage from the maintenance box, the printer is designed to stop printing when the absorbing capacity of the
maintenance box has reached its limit. Whether and how often this is required will vary according to the number
of pages you print, the type of material that you print and the number of cleaning cycles that the printer performs.
When a message is displayed prompting you to replace the maintenance box, prepare a flat-head screwdriver and
follow the on-screen instructions. The need for replacement of the box does not mean that your printer has ceased
to operate in accordance with its specifications. The Epson warranty does not cover the cost of this replacement. It
is a user-serviceable part.
Note:
When it is full, you cannot print until the maintenance box is replaced to avoid ink leakage. However, you can perform
operations such as saving data to an external USB device.
1. Remove the new maintenance box from its package.
Important:
c
Do not touch the green chip on the side of the maintenance box. Doing so may prevent normal operation and
printing.
Note:
A transparent bag for the used maintenance box is provided with the new maintenance box.
2. Lift up paper cassette 2 slightly to pull it out.
