Replacing Ink Cartridges and Maintenance Boxes

If a message appears or the

icon appears above an ink color on the LCD screen, the cartridge is low

or expended. When an ink cartridge is expended, printing stops and you need to replace the cartridge.

You may also need to replace a cartridge that is more than six months old, or if your printouts do not look

their best, even after cleaning and aligning the print head.

If the ink level becomes low during printing, you may be required to replace the ink cartridge while the

print is still in progress. If you replace ink while printing, colors may look different depending on how the

ink dries. For best printing results, replace the ink cartridge with a new one before printing. The removed

ink cartridge can be installed again and used until the remaining ink is expended.

The maintenance box stores ink that gets flushed from the system during print head cleaning. If a

message appears or the

icon appears above a maintenance box icon on the LCD screen, the amount

of available space in the maintenance box is low. When a maintenance box is full, you need to replace it.

Note:

Please dispose of your used Epson branded ink cartridges responsibly and in accordance with

local requirements. If you would like to return your used ink cartridges to Epson for proper disposal,

please go to

epson.com/recycle

for more information.

Ink Cartridge and Maintenance Box Safety Instructions

Follow these guidelines as you handle the ink cartridges and maintenance boxes:

• Keep ink cartridges and maintenance boxes out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.

• When using the installation ink cartridges included with the printer, most of the ink is consumed during

initial ink charging. Be sure to have replacement cartridges and maintenance boxes handy.

• After the ink charging process has begun, do not open covers, press buttons, or do anything else to

interrupt the process. If interrupted, the ink charging process will restart and the cartridge may no

longer have enough ink to complete the initial charge.

• Do not shake the ink cartridges too hard, otherwise ink may leak.
