Precautions on ink cartridge replacement

Read all of the instructions in this section before replacing the ink cartridges.
❏ We recommend storing ink cartridges at normal room temperature, and to use them by the expiry date printed on
the cartridge packaging.
❏ For the best printing results, use up the ink cartridge within six months of installation.
❏ If you move ink cartridges from a cold place to a warm place, leave it at room temperature for more than four hours
before using the ink cartridge.
❏ Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled materials, this does not effect printer function or performance.
❏ Do not drop or knock it against hard objects; otherwise, the ink may leak.
❏ This printer uses ink cartridges equipped with an IC chip that monitors the amount of ink used by each cartridge.
Cartridges are usable even if they are removed and reinserted.
❏ If you need to remove an ink cartridge temporarily, be sure to protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust. Store
the ink cartridge in the same environment as the printer.
❏ Never turn off the printer during initial ink charging. The ink may fail to filled up and the printer may become
unavailable to print.
❏ The valve in the ink supply port is designed to contain any excess ink that may be released. However, careful
handling is recommended. Do not touch the supply port of the ink cartridge or its surrounding area.
❏ For maximum ink efficiency, only remove an ink cartridge when you are ready to replace it. Ink cartridges with
low ink status may not be used when reinserted.
❏ Other products not manufactured by Epson may cause damage that is not covered by Epson's warranties, and
under certain circumstances, may cause erratic printer behavior.
❏ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to drink from or handle the cartridges.
❏ Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges, as there may be some ink around the ink supply port. If ink gets on
your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with
water. If discomfort or vision problems continue after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.
❏ Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson ink cartridges. Epson cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of
non-genuine ink. The use of non-genuine ink may cause damage that is not covered by Epson's warranties, and
under certain circumstances, may cause erratic printer behavior. Information about non-genuine ink levels may
not be displayed, and use of non-genuine ink is recorded for possible use in service support.
❏ Leave the old cartridge installed in the printer until you have obtained a replacement; otherwise, ink remaining in
the print head nozzles may dry out.
❏ You cannot continue printing with one ink cartridge expended, even if the other cartridges still contain ink.
Before printing, replace the expended cartridge.
❏ Never turn off the printer while replacing the ink cartridge. Doing so may damage the IC chip on the ink cartridge
and the printer may not print properly.
