6.6 Ink Cartridge Replacement

When one of the Ink Out lights is flashing and INK LOW is displayed on the
control panel, the corresponding cartridge is almost out of ink. When the light
stays on and INK OUT is displayed, the cartridge is empty.
Replace the old ink cartridge with one of the following EPSON ink cartridges:

Black T407011

Cyan T410011

Megenta T409011

Light Cyan T412011

Light Magenta T411011

Yellow T408011
Follow these steps to replace an empty cartridge:
1. Make sure the printer is on.
2. Note the color of the Ink Out light that is on or flashing. This is the cartridge
you need to replace.
3. Push down on the ink compartment lever and let it "bounce" back up to
open the ink compartment.
4. Make sure the replacement cartridge is the correct color, and remove it
from its package.
5. Pull the ink cartridge clamp forward and remove the empty cartridge from
the printer.
6. Insert the new ink cartridge with the arrow mark face-up and pointing to the
rear of the printer.
NOTE: If you can't insert the cartridge smoothly, you may have the wrong
cartridge. Check the package and product code.
7. Push the cartridge clamp back and close the ink compartment cover by
lowering the lever. Make sure the Ink Out light goes off.
NOTE: If the Ink Out light remains on, the cartridge may not be installed
correctly. Remove the cartridge and then reinsert it as described
above.
Maintenance
NOTE:If for any reason you replace an ink cartridge before it
reaches the ink-low or ink-out state with a new ink
cartridge, you need to reset the ink counter from the control
panel. See Maintenance Mode 2
