Replacing An Outdated Ink Cartridge - Epson Stylus Color 740i Printer Basics Manual

Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge

If an ink cartridge is more than 6 months old, you may need to replace it. How can
you tell? You may notice that your printouts don't look as good as they used to. If
print quality doesn't improve after cleaning and aligning the print head, you can
replace one or both cartridges.
Follow these steps to replace an ink cartridge before the B black or A color ink out
light is flashing or on:
1. Remove the new ink cartridge from its packaging.
2. Remove only the yellow part of the tape seal on top as shown below.
Caution:
You must remove the yellow tape from the top of the cartridge or
you will permanently damage it. Don't pull off the blue portion or try
to remove the clear seal underneath the cartridge.
3. Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing, then open the printer cover.
4. Press the E load/eject button and hold it down for 3 seconds until the print head
moves to the left and the Ppower light begins flashing.
Caution:
To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print head by hand.
