Replacing The Photo Cartridge - Epson PictureMate 100 Manual

Replacing the Photo Cartridge

PictureMate uses photo cartridge equipped with an IC
chip. The IC chip accurately monitors the amount of
ink, so even if it is removed and later reinserted, all of
its ink can be used. However, some ink is consumed
each time the cartridge is inserted because
PictureMate automatically checks reliability.
Warning:
w
Keep photo cartridges out of the reach of children.
Do not allow children to drink from or handle the
cartridges.
Caution:
c
❏
Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson
photo cartridges. Epson warranties do not
cover damage to your printer caused by the use
of photo cartridges not manufactured by Epson.
❏
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.
❏
Do not refill photo cartridges. The printer
calculates the amount of ink remaining using
an IC chip on the photo cartridge. Even if the
cartridge is refilled, the amount of ink
remaining will not be recalculated by the IC
chip and the amount of ink available for use will
not change.
Note:
In addition to the ink used during an image printing, ink is
consumed during the print head cleaning operation, during
the self-cleaning cycle which is performed when the printer
is turned on, and during ink charging when the photo
cartridge is installed in the printer.
