Replacing Ink Cartridges and Other Consumables
❏ Do not store the ink cartridges in high or freezing temperatures.
❏ For best results, Epson recommends using up ink cartridges before the best before date printed on the package,
or within six months of opening the package, whichever is earlier.
❏ For best results, store ink cartridge packages with their bottom down.
❏ After bringing an ink cartridge inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at
least three hours before using it.
❏ Do not open the ink cartridge package until you are ready to install it in the printer. The cartridge is vacuum
packed to maintain its reliability. If you leave a cartridge unpacked for a long time before using it, normal
printing may not be possible.
Handling precautions for replacing ink cartridges
❏ Be careful not to break the hooks on the side of the ink cartridge when you remove it from the package.
❏ Do not shake cartridges after opening the package, as they may leak.
❏ You must remove the yellow tape from the cartridge before installing it; otherwise, print quality may decline or
you may not be able to print. Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this can cause leakage.
❏ Do not remove the transparent seal from the bottom of the cartridge; otherwise, the cartridge may become
unusable.
