Ink Bottle Handling Precautions

Read the following instructions before refilling ink.
Storing precautions for ink
❏ Keep the ink bottles out of direct sunlight.
❏ Do not store the ink bottles in high or freezing temperatures.
❏ Epson recommends using the ink bottle before the date printed on the package.
❏ When storing or transporting an ink bottle, 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 precautions to prevent ink from leaking when transporting the
bottle, for example, putting the bottle in a bag.
❏ 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.
❏ Do not open the ink bottle package until you are ready to fill the ink tank. The ink bottle is vacuum packed to
maintain its reliability. If you leave an ink bottle unpacked for a long time before using it, normal printing may
not be possible.
❏ Once you open an ink bottle, we recommend using it as soon as possible.
Handling precautions for refilling ink
❏ For optimum print results do not maintain low ink levels for extended periods of time.
❏ Use ink bottles with the correct part code for this printer.
❏ The ink for this printer must be handled carefully. Ink may splatter when the ink tanks are being filled or refilled
with ink. If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.
❏ Do not shake too vigorously or squeeze the ink bottles.
❏ If the ink tank is not filled up to the lower line, refill the ink soon. Prolonged use of the printer when the ink
level is below the lower line could damage the printer.
Ink consumption
❏ To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all ink tanks during maintenance
operations such as print head cleaning. Ink may also be consumed when you turn the printer on.
