Precautions on Ink Cartridge Replacement

Read all the instructions in this section before replacing the ink cartridges.
❏ This product uses ink cartridges equipped with an IC chip that monitors the amount of
ink used by each cartridge. Cartridges are usable even if they are removed and
reinserted. However, some ink is consumed each time cartridges are inserted, because
the product automatically checks their reliability.
❏ If you need to remove an ink cartridge temporarily, be sure to protect the ink supply
area from dirt and dust. Store the ink cartridge in the same environment as the product.
When storing the cartridge, do not place it with ink supply area facing down. Do not
store ink cartridges upside down.
❏ The valve in the ink supply port is designed to contain any excess ink that may be
released. However, careful handling is recommended. Do not touch the supply port of
the ink cartridge or its surrounding area.
❏ Ink is consumed during the following operations: print head cleaning and ink charging
when an ink cartridge is installed.
❏ For maximum ink efficiency, only remove an ink cartridge when you are ready to
replace it. Ink cartridges with low ink status may not be used when reinserted.
❏ Do not refill the ink cartridges. Other products not manufactured by Epson may cause
damage that is not covered by Epson's warranties, and under certain circumstances,
may cause erratic product behavior.
❏ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to drink from or
handle the cartridges.
❏ Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges, as there may be some ink around the
ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water.
If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision
problems continue after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.
❏ Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson ink cartridges. The use of non-genuine
ink may cause damage that is not covered by Epson's warranties, and under certain
circumstances, may cause erratic product behavior.
❏ Do not open the ink cartridge package until you are ready to install it in the product.
❏ Leave the old cartridge installed in the product until you have obtained a replacement;
otherwise, ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.
❏ You cannot continue printing with one ink cartridge expended, even if the other
cartridges still contain ink. Before printing, replace the expended cartridge.
