Confidential
A used cartridge may have some ink on the convex part of the bottom of the cartridge.
Avoid touching that part to keep your hands clean.
Do not puncture the convex part of the bottom of the ink cartridge or remove the
transparent film on the bottom of the ink cartridge; otherwise the ink might leak.
Once the ink cartridge is used, the ink supply needle (plastic projection) in the ink
cartridge holder that supplies ink to the printer is covered with ink. Avoid touching the
cartridge holder to keep your hands clean.
Use Seiko Epson specified ink cartridges. Performance of the printer when other ink
cartridges are used is not guaranteed.
Do not open or close the ink cartridge cover during printing. Misalignment of the print
position will occur.
Storage:
Keep the ink cartridge out of the reach of children. Do not drink the ink.
Do not store the ink cartridge where it will be subject to high temperatures or freezing.
Instructions
When the INK OUT LED flashes, it is almost time to change the ink cartridge. Change the
cartridge as soon as it is convenient. When the INK OUT LED is on, printing stops and you must
change the cartridge.
The TM-J7100 has two separate cartridges, one each for black and colored ink (either red, green,
or blue). Therefore, the TM-J7100 has two INK OUT LEDs, one for the black and one for the color.
Follow these steps to install an ink cartridge for the first time or to replace an empty ink
cartridge.
1. Make sure the printer is on. If it is not on, plug in the power supply cable and turn on the
power using the switch on the front of the printer.
2. Make sure an INK OUT LED is on or flashing. When using two colors, notice which ink
cartridge INK OUT LED is on or flashing; this indicates which cartridge is empty.
3. Be sure that roll paper is installed.
