Replacing an Ink Cartridge

When the B black or A color ink out light flashes, the
indicated cartridge is low on ink. This is a good time to make
sure you have a new cartridge. When the light stays on, the
cartridge is empty and you need to replace it.
You cannot print if either ink cartridge is empty. Leave the
empty cartridge installed in the printer until you have
obtained a replacement. Otherwise the ink remaining in
the print head nozzles may dry out.
Use these EPSON ink cartridges within six months of
installing them and before the expiration date on the package:
Black ink cartridge: T019201 (U.S.) T019311 (Canada)
Color ink cartridge: T020201 (U.S.) T020311 (Canada)
To ensure good results, use genuine EPSON ink cartridges
and do not refill them. Other products may cause damage
to your printer not covered by EPSON's warranty.
When you need new ink cartridges, contact your dealer or call
EPSON at (800) 873-7766 or visit the EPSON Store
www.epson.com (U.S. sales only). In Canada, please call
(800) 873-7766 for dealer referral.
If you need to replace an ink cartridge before the lights flash
(because the ink is too old, for example) follow the
instructions in "Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge" on
page 8.
