Caution:
❏ You must remove the yellow tape seal from the cartridge
before installing it; otherwise, the cartridge will become
unusable and you will be unable to print.
❏ If you have installed an ink cartridge without removing
the yellow tape seal, you must remove the cartridge and
install a new one. Prepare the new cartridge by removing
the yellow tape seal, then install it in the printer.
❏ Do not remove the EPSON label from the top of the
cartridge; otherwise, the print head may become clogged
and be unable to print.
❏ Do not remove the tape seal from the bottom of the
cartridge; otherwise, ink will leak.
❏ Do not remove the green IC chip from the side of the
cartridges. Installing a cartridge without an IC chip can
damage the printer.
❏ Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the
cartridge. This can damage the ink cartridge.
❏ If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, be sure to
protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust; store it
in the same environment as the printer. Be sure to store
the cartridge with the EPSON label facing up as shown
in the picture below. Note that there is a valve in the ink
supply port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but
care is needed to prevent the ink from staining items that
the cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink cartridge ink
supply port or surrounding area.
