Replacing Ink Cartridges
Precautions
wWarning:
If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly 
with soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes, 
flush them immediately with water. If you still 
have discomfort or vision problems, see a doctor 
immediately.
■Never move the print head by hand.
■When an ink cartridge is expended, you 
cannot continue printing even if the other 
cartridges still contain ink. 
■Leave the expended cartridge installed 
until you have obtained a replacement. 
Otherwise the ink remaining in the print 
head nozzles may dry out.
■Some ink is consumed each time 
cartridges are inserted because the printer 
automatically checks their reliability.
■For maximum ink efficiency, only remove 
an ink cartridge when you are ready to 
replace it. Ink cartridges with low ink 
status may not be used when reinserted.
■Epson recommends the use of genuine 
Epson ink cartridges. The use of 
non-genuine ink may cause damage that 
is not covered by Epsons warranties, and 
under certain circumstances, may cause 
erratic printer behavior. Epson cannot 
guarantee the quality or reliability of 
non-genuine ink. Information about the 
ink cartridge status may not be displayed 
when non-genuine ink is used.
Removing and Installing 
Ink Cartridges
Make 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. Note:
❏Do not open the ink cartridge package until 
you are ready to install it in the printer. The 
cartridge is vacuum packed to maintain its 
reliability.
❏Make sure the CD/DVD guide is not ejected.
