Replacing Ink Cartridges - Epson Stylus Photo RX620 Product Information Manual

If you don't see any improvement after cleaning three or four
times, check the troubleshooting solutions in the on-screen
Reference Guide. You can also turn the RX620 off and wait
overnight—this allows any dried ink to soften—and then try
cleaning the print head again.
Caution:
When you don't turn on your RX620 for a long time, the print quality
can decline. It's a good idea to turn it on at least once a month to
maintain good print quality.

Replacing Ink Cartridges

When you print with low or empty ink cartridges, you'll see a
message on your RX620 screen. When your ink starts getting
low, make sure you have replacement cartridges available. You
can't print if a cartridge is empty.
Check the icon in the upper
right corner to see which
cartridge is low or empty:

When a cartridge is more than six months old, you may need
to replace it if printouts don't look their best. If the quality
doesn't improve after cleaning and aligning the print head,
you may need to replace the cartridge.

Ink Cartridge Precautions
Warning:
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.
If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and
water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them thoroughly with water.
Caution:
To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print head by hand.
You can't print if an ink cartridge is empty. Leave the empty
cartridge installed in the RX620 until you have obtained a
replacement. Otherwise the ink remaining in the print head nozzles
may dry out.
