Fill ink tanks


Keep the ink bottles out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.


This product requires careful handling of ink. If ink spills, wipe it off immediately with a damp towel to avoid permanent stains.

If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.

Note:

  • Epson cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of third-party ink.
  • Use the ink bottles included with the printer to set up the product. Part of the ink will be used to charge the print head. These bottles may print fewer pages compared with replacement ink bottles.
  • Epson strongly recommends the use of genuine ink to ensure optimal print quality and performance.
  1. Open the ink tank cover, then open the cap for the black (BK) ink tank.
    Note: Refer to the color-coded sticker above the ink tank unit to identify the color of each tank.
  2. Unpack the black (BK) ink bottle. Hold the ink bottle upright and slowly turn the bottle cap to remove it.
