Replacing the Photo Cartridge33
Replacing the Photo Cartridge
PictureMate uses photo cartridge equipped with an IC 
chip. The IC chip accurately monitors the amount of 
ink, so even if it is removed and later reinserted, all of 
its ink can be used. However, some ink is consumed 
each time the cartridge is inserted because 
PictureMate automatically checks reliability.
Warning:Keep photo cartridges out of the reach of children. 
Do not allow children to drink from or handle the 
cartridges. Caution:
❏ Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson 
photo cartridges. Epson warranties do not 
cover damage to your printer caused by the use 
of photo cartridges not manufactured by Epson.
❏ 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.
❏ Do not refill photo cartridges. The printer 
calculates the amount of ink remaining using 
an IC chip on the photo cartridge. Even if the 
cartridge is refilled, the amount of ink 
remaining will not be recalculated by the IC 
chip and the amount of ink available for use will 
not change.
Note:
In addition to the ink used during an image printing, ink is 
consumed during the print head cleaning operation, during 
the self-cleaning cycle which is performed when the printer 
is turned on, and during ink charging when the photo 
cartridge is installed in the printer.
For more information about photo cartridges.  See “When handling photo cartridges” on page 7
