Replacing Ink
Cartridges
Safety instructions
❏ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.
❏ Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges, as
there may be some ink around the ink supply port.
If ink gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly
with soap and water.
If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately
with water. If discomfort or vision problems
continue after a thorough flushing, see a doctor
immediately.
If ink gets into your mouth, spit it out immediately
and see a doctor right away.
❏ If you remove the cartridge from the product for
later use or to dispose of it, make sure you put the
cap back on the cartridge's ink supply port to
prevent ink from drying out or to prevent
surrounding areas from getting smeared by ink.
❏ Do not push hard or squeeze the ink cartridges, or
be careful not to drop them. Doing so may cause ink
leakage.
Precautions
❏ Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson ink
cartridges. Epson cannot guarantee the quality or
reliability of non-genuine ink. The use of
non-genuine ink may cause damage that is not
covered by Epson's warranties, and under certain
circumstances, may cause erratic product behavior.
Information about non-genuine ink levels may not
be displayed.
❏ To maintain optimum print head performance,
some ink is consumed from all cartridges not only
during printing but also during maintenance
operations such as ink cartridge replacement and
print head cleaning.
Replacing Ink Cartridges
❏ Be careful not to let dust or any objects get inside the
ink cartridge holder. Anything inside the holder
may adversely affect the printing results or result in
an inability to print.
❏ For maximum ink efficiency, only remove an ink
cartridge when you are ready to replace it. Ink
cartridges with low ink status may not be used when
reinserted.
❏ Do not open the ink cartridge package until you are
ready to install it in the product. The cartridge is
vacuum packed to maintain its reliability. If you
leave a cartridge unpacked for a long time before
using it, normal printing may not be possible.
❏ Install all ink cartridges; otherwise, you cannot
print.
Replacing an ink cartridge

❏ Make sure that the CD/DVD tray is not inserted in
