Replacing Ink Cartridges

When the B ink light starts flashing, one or more
cartridges are low on ink. Make sure you have
replacement cartridges.
When the B ink light stays on, you need to replace the
cartridge(s).
Note:
The ink cartridges have a chip that accurately monitors the ink level.
Even if you remove a cartridge and insert it again, you will be able
to use all of its ink. However, some ink is used up each time the
cartridge is inserted, as the EPSON STYLUS CX checks its
reliability.

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 not manufactured by Epson
may cause damage that is not covered by Epson's warranties,
and under certain circumstances, may cause your EPSON
STYLUS CX to behave erratically.

the print head.
