Replacing Ink Cartridges
Precautions
w Warning:
If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly
with soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes,
flush them immediately with water. If you still
have discomfort or vision problems, see a doctor
immediately.
■
Never move the print head by hand.
■
When an ink cartridge is expended, you
cannot continue printing even if the other
cartridges still contain ink.
■
Leave the expended cartridge installed
until you have obtained a replacement.
Otherwise the ink remaining in the print
head nozzles may dry out.
■
Some ink is consumed each time
cartridges are inserted because the printer
automatically checks their reliability.
■
For maximum ink efficiency, only remove
an ink cartridge when you are ready to
replace it. Ink cartridges with low ink
status may not be used when reinserted.
■
Epson recommends the use of genuine
Epson ink cartridges. The use of
non-genuine ink may cause damage that
is not covered by Epson's warranties, and
under certain circumstances, may cause
erratic printer behavior. Epson cannot
guarantee the quality or reliability of
non-genuine ink. Information about the
ink cartridge status is not displayed when
non-genuine ink is used.
