Replacing an Ink Cartridge

Ink Out
the cartridge indicated by the H ink out light is low on ink. This
is a good time to make sure you have a replacement cartridge.
When the light stays on, the cartridge indicated by

the H ink out light is empty and you need to replace it.
Use only the following EPSON ink cartridges:
❏ Black:
❏ Cyan/light cyan:
❏ Magenta/light magenta: T488011

Caution:
To ensure good results, use genuine EPSON cartridges and do not
refill them. Other products may cause damage to your printer not
covered by EPSON's warranty.

are ready to replace it with a new one.

cartridge needs to be replaced by checking the control panel
lights.
2. Open the appropriate ink cartridge compartment door.
