Enter the correct IP address or default gateway. Contact the
person who setup the network for assistance.
You can continue printing until you are prompted to replace the
ink cartridges. However, note that the printer cannot print if any
one of the ink cartridges is expended. Prepare new cartridges as
soon as possible.
When black ink is running low and there is enough color ink
remaining, see the following.
"Continue Printing to Conserve Black Ink (for Windows Only)" on
page 181
Select Continue printing or Replace before printing.
When you select Continue printing, the printer may stop printing
indicating that it is time to replace the ink cartridge. In this case,
follow the solutions below.
❏ When printing fails and paper is ejected
Select No, cancel printing, and then replace the cartridge. If
you select Yes, replace now, printing continues after you
replace the cartridge and more paper is wasted.
❏ When paper is not ejected
Select Yes, replace now, and then replace the cartridge.
Printing is resumed after you replace the cartridge, but the
color may differ slightly. To avoid this, select No, cancel
printing.
When the printer stops during copying indicating it is time to
replace the cartridge, the original on the scanner glass may move
when you open and close the scanner unit to replace the
cartridge. Place the original by aligning it with the corner mark on
the scanner glass, and then start copying.
To ensure you receive premium print quality and to help protect
your print head, a variable ink safety reserve remains in the
cartridge when your printer indicates it is time to replace the
cartridge. Replace the cartridge when you are prompted to do so.
"Replacing Ink Cartridges" on page 178
When color ink is expended and black ink still remains, see the
following.
"Temporarily Printing with Black Ink" on page 179
If print quality has not improved after repeating nozzle check and
head cleaning 3 times, wait for at least 12 hours without printing,
run the nozzle check once again, and then repeat head cleaning if
necessary. We recommend turning off the printer by using the
button. If print quality has still not improved, run Power Cleaning.
If print quality has not improved after running Power Cleaning,
wait for at least 12 hours without printing, and then print the
nozzle check pattern again. Run Cleaning or Power Cleaning again
depending on the printed pattern. If quality still does not improve,
contact Epson support.
