Purchasing A Replacement Maintenance Box; Handling Precautions - Epson B-308 User Manual

Note:
❏ The printer ships with a new maintenance box, even though the service life indicator does not show
100% when the printer is new. EPSON Status Monitor 3 and the printer's control panel will
indicate when the maintenance box needs to be replaced.
❏ If the maintenance box installed in the printer is broken, incompatible with the printer model, or
improperly installed, EPSON Status Monitor 3 will not display an accurate calculation of the
maintenance box status. Be sure to replace or reinstall any ink cartridge indicated by EPSON Status
Monitor 3.
