Replacing Ink Cartridges; Removing And Installing Ink Cartridges; Checking The Ink Supply - Epson Stylus Photo RX600 Product Information

If you don't see any improvement after cleaning three or four
times, check the troubleshooting solutions in the User's Guide.
You can also turn the RX600 off and wait overnight—this
allows any dried ink to soften—and then try cleaning the print
head again.
Caution:
When you don't turn on your RX600 for a long time, the print quality
can decline. It's a good idea to turn it on at least once a month to
maintain good print quality.

Replacing Ink Cartridges

When the red ! light flashes, one or more ink cartridges are
low on ink. When your ink starts getting low, make sure you
have replacement cartridges available. You can't print if a
cartridge is empty.
When the red ! light stays on, you need to replace the
cartridge(s).
When you print with low or
empty ink cartridges, you'll
see a message on your RX600
screen. Check the icon in the
upper right corner to see which cartridge is low or empty:
If you can't see the icon clearly enough, press the

When a cartridge is more than six months old, you may need
to replace it if printouts don't look their best. If the quality
doesn't improve after cleaning and aligning the print head,
you can replace the cartridge even if the red ! light is off.

Ink Cartridge Precautions
Warning:
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.
If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and
water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them thoroughly with water.
Caution:
To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print head by hand.
You can't print if an ink cartridge is empty. Leave the empty
cartridge installed in the RX600 until you have obtained a
replacement. Otherwise the ink remaining in the print head nozzles
may dry out.
