• If ink gets on your skin, wash it thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them
immediately with water. If ink gets into your mouth, spit it out immediately. Seek medical advice if
problems persist.
Ink Refilling Precautions
• Use ink bottles with the correct part number for this product.
• The use of non-Epson ink may cause damage that is not covered by Epson's warranty, and under
certain circumstances, may cause erratic product behavior.
• This product requires careful handling of ink. Ink may splatter when the ink tank is filled or refilled with
ink. If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.
• Do not open the ink bottle package until you are ready to fill the ink tank. Ink bottles are vacuum
packed to maintain reliability. If you leave an ink bottle unpacked for a long time before using it, print
quality may be affected.
• If the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank, refill the ink soon. Continued use of the product
when the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank could damage the product.
• Epson recommends filling the ink tank to the upper line when the product is not operating.
• After 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.
• Store ink bottles in a cool, dark place.
• Store the ink bottles in the same environment as the product. When storing or transporting an ink
bottle after removing its seal, 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 measures to prevent ink from leaking
when you transport the bottle.
• Use the ink bottle before the date printed on the package.
• Do not shake or squeeze the ink bottle.
Ink Bottle and Ink Tank Information
• To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from the ink tank during printing
and when performing maintenance operations, such as cleaning the print head.
• The ink bottles may contain recycled materials, but this does not affect product function or
performance.
