Replacing An Ink Cartridge - Epson STYLUS PHOTO R360 Series User Manual

Replacing an ink cartridge

Make sure you have a new ink cartridge before you
begin. Once you start replacing a cartridge, you must
complete all the steps in one session.
Note:
Do not open the ink cartridge package until you are ready to install
it in the printer. The cartridge is vacuum packed to maintain its
reliability.
1. Make sure that the printer is on but not printing,
then open the printer cover.
Note:
Make sure the CD/DVD tray is not inserted in the printer before
you replace the ink cartridge.
2. Check that the message telling you that a cartridge
should be replaced is displayed on the LCD screen
and press the OK button.
Note:
The message is not displayed if there is some ink left. In this
case, press the F [Setup] button, select Maintenance, then
press the OK button. Next, select Change Ink Cartridge then
press the OK button. To find out which cartridge requires
replacing, see "Checking the ink cartridge status" on page 24.
The ink cartridge moves slowly to the replacement
position.
c
Caution:
Do not move the print head by hand, as this may damage the
printer. Always press the OK button to move it.
3. Remove the new ink cartridge from the package.
c
Caution:
❏ Be careful not to break the hooks on the side of the ink
cartridge when you remove it from the package.
❏ Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge.
This can damage the ink cartridge.
4. Remove the yellow tape from the bottom of the
ink cartridge.
c
Caution:
❏ You must remove the yellow tape from the cartridge before
installing it; otherwise, print quality may decline or you may
not be able to print.
❏ If you have installed an ink cartridge without removing the
yellow tape, take the cartridge out of the printer, remove the
yellow tape, and then reinstall it.
❏ Do not remove the transparent seal from the bottom of the
cartridge; otherwise, the cartridge may become unusable.
❏ Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; otherwise,
ink will leak.
❏ Be sure to always install an ink cartridge into the printer
immediately following the removal of the current ink
cartridge. If the ink cartridge is not installed promptly, the
print head may dry out, rendering it unable to print.
5. Open the cartridge cover.
6. Pinch the sides of the ink cartridge that you want
to replace. Lift the cartridge straight up and out of
the printer and dispose of it properly. Do not take
the used cartridge apart or try to refill it.
