Loading the Ink Cartridge
This section describes the procedure for loading the ink cartridge for the first time and performing ink
charging.
1
Verify that the power is on (the power lamp is lit) and that the label roll
paper shipped with the product is loaded.
2
Pull down the ink cartridge cover to the front to open it.
 When loading the ink cartridge for the first time, be sure to load the label roll paper
shipped with the product before loading the ink cartridge. (See "Loading the Paper" on
page 42.)
 Store the ink cartridge in a cool and dark space and use it before the expiration date
printed on the individual package. Use up the ink within 6 months after opening the
package.
 Do not open the ink cartridge package until you are ready to load it in the product. The
ink cartridge is vacuum packed to preserve its quality.
 After storing the ink cartridge in a cold place for a long period of time, leave the ink car-
tridge at room temperature for 3 hours or more before using it.
 Do not touch the green board on the ink cartridge. You may not be able to print correctly.
 Do not disassemble or alter the ink cartridge. You may not be able to print correctly.
 To enable maximum printer performance, we recommend that you use a genuine Epson
ink cartridge (model: SJIC15P). If you use an ink cartridge other than a genuine Epson
cartridge, it may adversely affect the printer hardware and print quality, and you may not
be able to obtain maximum printer performance. We do not insure the quality and reli-
ability of ink cartridges other than genuine Epson cartridges. A fee will be charged for
repairing a damaged or failed product caused by using a non-genuine ink cartridge
even if it is during the warranty period.
 Do not remove the ink cartridge from the product when you ship it.
