Maintaining Your All-in-One Follow the steps here to check and clean the print head, and replace ink cartridges. To align the print head, if necessary, see the online Epson Information Center.

Load letter- or A4-size plain paper in the main paper tray. 2. Press the Home button, if necessary, and select Setup. 3.
Cleaning the Print Head If print quality has declined and the nozzle check indicates clogged nozzles, you can clean the print head. Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if necessary.

Load letter- or A4-size plain paper in the main paper tray. 2. Press the Home button, if necessary, and select Setup. 3.
Checking the Ink Cartridge Status Your Artisan 810 Series will let you know when an ink cartridge is low or expended by displaying a message on its display screen or your computer. You cannot print or copy when an ink cartridge is expended even if the other cartridges are not expended (but you can still scan, fax, and view photos). Replace any expended cartridges before printing or copying. To check ink cartridge status from the display screen anytime, follow these steps: 1.
Purchasing Epson Ink Cartridges You can purchase genuine Epson ink and paper at Epson Supplies CentralSM at www.epson.com/ink3 (U.S. sales) or www.epson.ca (Canadian sales). You can also purchase supplies from an Epson authorized reseller. To find the nearest one, call 800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766).
Replacing Ink Cartridges Make sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. You must install new cartridges immediately after removing the old ones. Caution: Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges are vacuum packed to maintain reliability. Leave the expended cartridge(s) installed until you have obtained a replacement, or the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out. If you remove a low or expended cartridge, you cannot reinstall and use it.
4. Remove the cartridge from the package. Do not touch the green chip on the side. 5. Remove the yellow tape from the bottom of the cartridge. Caution: Do not remove any other labels or seals, or ink will leak. 6. Insert the new cartridge into the holder and push it down until it clicks into place. 7. Close the scanner. Note: If you see a warning message that the cartridge you just replaced is not installed, open the scanner and press down the cartridge securely.
