Installing The Ink Cartridge - Epson TM-J9000 Technical Reference Manual

2.4.4 Installing the Ink Cartridge

CAUTION:
Be sure to use genuine EPSON ink cartridges to give the printer the best performance.
Using ink not manufactured by EPSON may damage your printer.
The TM-J9100 has two separate cartridges, one for black and one for color ink (either red, green,
or blue.) Therefore, the TM-J9100 has two INK LEDs, one for black and one for color.
Note:
Cartridge yields vary based on such factors as type of item printed, print settings, paper type, frequency of
use, and temperature.
To insure print quality, some ink remains in the cartridge after the INK LED comes on.
When the ink cartridge is installed for the first time, the printer uses ink to prepare for printing.
Ink is used for print head maintenance. For the TM-J9100, both black and colored inks are used for print
head maintenance.
1. Check that the printer power is turned on. If it is not turned on, plug in the power supply
cable and press the power switch on the front bottom-right of the printer.
2. Open the ink cartridge cover using the tab.
