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.
When an installed ink cartridge is more than six months old,
you may also need to replace it if you notice that your
printouts don't look as good as they used to. If print quality
doesn't improve after cleaning and aligning the print head,
you can replace one or both cartridges. To check the level of
ink you have left, see the graphic in the printer driver
(Windows) or click the
or EPSON Monitor 3 utility (Macintosh).
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: T007
Color ink cartridge: T008
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 Accessories at (800) 873-7766 or visit our web site
at www.epsonsupplies.com (U.S. sales only). In Canada,
please call (800) 873-7766 for dealer referral.
Be sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. Once
you start the ink cartridge replacement procedure, you must
complete all the steps in one session.
Follow these steps to replace ink cartridges:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing (the
Ppower light should be on, but not flashing).
2. Check the B black and A color ink out lights to see which
ink cartridge you need to replace.
