Ink And Chip Unit Precautions - Epson SureColor F9200 User Manual

You will be unable to print if a chip unit needs to be replaced. If the Check Ink Levels message is
displayed during a print job, the print job pauses while you refill the ink and replace the chip unit. You can
use the same procedure to refill the ink and replace chip units for all colors.
Note: When the message Refill Ink Tank is displayed on the LCD screen and the remaining ink level is
greater than 2.8 in. (70 mm) from the base of the ink tank, it is time to replace the ink tank. The ink tank
must be replaced because fine dirt, dust, and other foreign material causes the ink tank's filter to
malfunction. The ink tank replacement interval depends on the usage environment and conditions.
Contact Epson Support for information on replacing components.
Note: Your product has a remaining ink warning system. This system does not directly detect the
amount of ink remaining in the ink tank. Instead, the amount of ink remaining is estimated based on the
ink usage conditions and displayed as a message. The accuracy of this system depends on consistent
and proper ink refills.
If the procedure for replacement and ink refilling here is not followed correctly, the remaining ink warning
system may not function properly. To prevent this, replace the chip unit and refill the ink as soon as
possible once the remaining ink level falls below 2.8 inches (70 mm) from the base of the ink tank.

Ink and Chip Unit Precautions

Follow these precautions as you refill the ink in your product:
• Store ink packs in a location out of the reach of children.
• Wear protective eyewear and gloves when refilling ink.
• Be sure to read the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before using ink packs. You can download it from
epson.com/proimaging.
• Gently cut or tear off the ink pack spout seal. If you cut the ink pack spout seal too quickly, ink may
splatter.
• Do not squeeze open ink packs. Ink may spill.
• Gently tilt the ink pack when pouring ink into the ink tank.
• Do not place anything on the ink tank or subject it to strong impacts, or the ink tank could detach.
• Do not switch between High Density Black ink and Black inks in the same ink tank. You must contact
Epson Support to have a service engineer replace the type of ink being used in an ink tank.
