Removing And Installing Ink Cartridges - Epson Stylus Color 500 User Manual

Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges

Follow these steps to replace either or both ink cartridges:
1. Make sure the printer is on and not printing, and that one of
the Ink Out lights is flashing or turned on.
2. Lower the output tray on the front of the printer (if
necessary) and then lift up the printer's cover.
3. Hold down the Load/Eject button for about five seconds
until the print head moves slightly left to the ink cartridge
install position. The Power light begins flashing.
c
4. Pull up the cartridge clamp to open it. The cartridge rises
partially out of the printer. (If you do not do this within 30
seconds after pressing Load/Eject, the carriage returns to
its home position, far right. If this happens, press
Load/Eject again.)
Caution:
Do not move the print head with your hand. Always use
the Load/Eject button to move it.
