Replacing The Ink Cartridge - Epson Stylus 800 User Manual

Replacing the Ink Cartridge

When the INK OUT light on the control panel flashes, the ink in
the ink cartridge is low. The printer will continue printing until
the cartridge is completely empty. When it is out of ink, the
printer stops and the INK OUT light stays on. Printing will not
resume until you insert a new cartridge.
It's a good idea to keep a spare ink cartridge on hand. Use
Epson ink cartridge SO20025 to ensure proper operation and
preserve the life of the print head. Other brands of ink may clog
the print head or damage it.
Follow these steps to remove the empty cartridge:
1. Make sure the printer stops printing and both the INK OUT
and PAUSE lights stay on. Then open the printer cover.
2. Hold down the ALT button for several seconds and release
the button when the print head moves to the ink cartridge
replace position.
3. Pull the ink cartridge clamp toward you to release the
cartridge. (The clamp pushes the ink cartridge up so it is
easy to grasp.)
