We recommend that you use genuine Epson cartridges and do not refill them. The use of other
products may affect your print quality and could result in printer damage.
Yields vary considerably based on images printed, print settings, paper type, frequency of use,
and temperature. For print quality, a variable amount of ink remains in the cartridge after the
“replace cartridge” indicator comes on. Your printer ships with full cartridges and part of the ink
from the first cartridges is used for priming the printer.
For best printing results, use up a cartridge within six months of opening the package.
Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. If you bring them inside from out in the cold, allow them
to warm up to room temperature for at least 3 hours before using them.
Remove and Install Cartridges
Be sure you have your replacement cartridges handy 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.
1. Turn on your Epson printer.
2. If a cartridge is expended, you see a message on the printer’s LCD display screen. The icon on
the screen indicates which color to replace. Press OK.
If you’re replacing a cartridge before you see a message on the printer’s LCD display screen,
press Setup, press or to select Maintenance, and press OK. Then select Change Ink
Cartridge and press OK.
3. Open the scanner.
Note:
Do not touch the white cable inside your printer.
Do not open the ink cartridge cover while the print head is moving.
