❏ Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may damage the printer.
❏ This printer uses ink cartridges equipped with a green chip that monitors the amount of ink used by each
cartridge. Cartridges are usable even if they are removed and reinserted.
❏ 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 printer.
❏ Never turn off the printer during initial ink charging. The ink may fail to filled up and the printer may become
unavailable to print.
❏ The ink supply port is equipped with a valve designed to contain the release of excess ink; there is no need to supply
your own covers or plugs. However, careful handling is recommended. Do not touch the supply port of the ink
cartridge or its surrounding area.
❏ Other products not manufactured by Epson may cause damage that is not covered by Epson's warranties, and
under certain circumstances, may cause erratic printer behavior.
❏ Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson ink cartridges. Epson cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of
non-genuine ink. The use of non-genuine ink may cause damage that is not covered by Epson's warranties, and
under certain circumstances, may cause erratic printer behavior. Information about non-genuine ink levels may
not be displayed.
❏ Leave the old cartridge installed in the printer until you have obtained a replacement; otherwise, ink remaining in
the print head nozzles may dry out.

only.

Ink Cartridge Specifications

❏ Epson recommends using the ink cartridge before the date printed on the package.
❏ The ink cartridges packaged with your product are partly used during initial setup. In order to produce high
quality printouts, the print head in your product will be fully charged with ink. This one-off process consumes a
quantity of ink and therefore these cartridges may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink cartridges.
❏ Quoted yields may vary depending on the images that you are printing, the paper type that you are using, the
frequency of your prints and environmental conditions such as temperature.
❏ To ensure you receive premium print quality and to help protect your print head, a variable ink safety reserve
remains in the cartridge when your product indicates to replace the cartridge. The yields quoted for you do not
include this reserve.
❏ Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled materials, this does not affect product function or performance.
❏ When printing in monochrome or grayscale, color inks instead of black ink may be used depending on the paper
type or print quality settings. This is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.
