About Ink and Chip Unit Replacement

When the message Check Ink Levels is displayed on the LCD screen, you need to refill the ink and
replace the chip unit soon. Obtain an ink pack of the appropriate color as soon as possible.
You will be unable to print if a chip unit needs to be replaced. If the Check Ink Levels message is
displayed during a print job, the print job pauses while you refill the ink and replace the chip unit. You can
use the same procedure to refill the ink and replace chip units for all colors.
Note: When the message Refill Ink Tank is displayed on the LCD screen and the remaining ink level is
greater than 2.0 inches (50 mm) from the base of the ink tank, it is time to replace the ink tank. The ink
tank must be replaced because fine dirt, dust, and other foreign material causes the ink tank's filter to
malfunction. The ink tank replacement interval depends on the usage environment and conditions.
Contact Epson Support for information on replacing components.
Note: Your product has a remaining ink warning system. This system does not directly detect the
amount of ink remaining in the ink tank. Instead, the amount of ink remaining is estimated based on the
ink usage conditions and displayed as a message. The accuracy of this system depends on consistent
and proper ink refills.
If the procedure for replacement and ink refilling here is not followed correctly, the remaining ink warning
system may not function properly. To prevent this, replace the chip unit and refill the ink as soon as
possible once the remaining ink level falls below 2.0 inches (50 mm) from the base of the ink tank.
