Charging The Ink Delivery System - Epson Stylus Color 200 User Manual

Charging the Ink Delivery System

Your printer comes with a color print head, installed in the
printer, and a monochrome print head, packed in the plastic
storage box. When you want to print in color, install the color
print head unit with the color ink cartridge in the printer. When
you want to print in black, install the monochrome print head
unit and black ink cartridge in the printer.
Note:
When printing a page that does not include color, using the black ink
cartridge is much faster and more economical. However, the color ink
cartridge can print composite black. Composite black is a mixture of
the inks in the color ink cartridge that closely resembles black ink.
When you first set up the printer, you need to completely
charge its ink delivery system by first installing the color ink
cartridge and then replacing it with the black print head unit
and cartridge. Follow all the steps in this section.
Note:
Even if you don't plan to use the black ink cartridge immediately, you
still need to install it to charge the ink delivery system.
Once both ink delivery systems are charged, you can easily
switch between color and monochrome printing as needed.
Follow the instructions in Chapter 3 .
Warning:
w
The ink cartridges are self-contained units. Under ordinary
use, ink will not leak from a cartridge. If ink gets on your
hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets
into your eyes, flush them immediately with water.
Caution:
c
Do not open the ink cartridge packages until just before you
install them or they may become dry.
