Replacing an Ink Cartridge 49
Note:
You cannot continue printing with one ink cartridge expended, even if the other
cartridges still contain ink. Before printing, replace the expended cartridge.
The IC chip on these ink cartridges retains a variety of cartridge related-information,
such as the ink cartridge status, so that the cartridge may be removed and reinserted
freely. However, each time the cartridge is inserted, some ink is consumed because the
printer automatically performs a reliability check.
If you remove a cartridge that is low (for which you have received an “Ink low”
message), you cannot reuse it.
Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges
Be sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. Once you start replacing a
cartridge, you must complete all the steps in one session.
Caution:
Leave the expended cartridge installed until you have obtained a replacement, or the
ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.
To ensure good results, use genuine Epson ink cartridges and do not refill them. Other
products may cause damage to your printer not covered by Epson’s warranty.
Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges are
vacuum packed to maintain reliability.
1. Make sure the CD/DVD tray is not inserted in the printer.
2. Make sure the printer is turned on, but the green P power light is not
flashing.
3. Open the printer cover.
4. Press the H ink button. The P power light begins to flash.
Caution:
Don’t hold down the H ink button for more than 3 seconds or the printer will start to
clean the print head.
