Ink Cartridge Handling Precautions
Read the following instructions before replacing ink cartridges.
Handling precautions
Store ink cartridges at normal room temperature and keep them away from direct sunlight.
Epson recommends using the ink cartridge before the date printed on the package.
For best results, use up ink cartridge within six months of opening the package.
For best results, store ink cartridge packages with their bottom down.
Aer bringing an ink cartridge inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at
least three hours before using it.
Do not open the ink cartridge package until you are ready to install it in the printer. e cartridge is vacuum
packed to maintain its reliability. If you leave a cartridge unpacked for a long time before using it, normal
printing may not be possible.
Be careful not to break the hooks on the side of the ink cartridge when you remove it from the package.
User's Guide
Replacing Ink Cartridges
83
You must remove the yellow tape from the cartridge before installing it; otherwise, print quality may decline or
you may not be able to print. Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this can cause leakage.
Do not remove the transparent seal from the bottom of the cartridge; otherwise, the cartridge may become
unusable.
Do not touch the sections shown in the illustration. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing.
Install all ink cartridges; otherwise you cannot print.
Do not replace ink cartridges with the power o. Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may
damage the printer.
Do not turn o the printer during ink charging. If the ink charging is incomplete, you may not be able to print.
User's Guide
Replacing Ink Cartridges
84
Do not leave the printer with the ink cartridges removed or do not turn o the printer during cartridge
replacement.Otherwise, ink remaining in the print head nozzles will dry out and you may not be able to print.
If you need to remove an ink cartridge temporarily, make sure you protect the ink supply area from dirt and
dust. Store the ink cartridge in the same environment as the printer, with the ink supply port facing down or
sideways. Do not store ink cartridges with the ink supply port facing up. Because the ink supply port is
equipped with a valve designed to contain the release of excess ink, there is no need to supply your own covers
or plugs.
Removed ink cartridges may have ink around the ink supply port, so be careful not to get any ink on the
surrounding area when removing the cartridges.
is printer uses ink cartridges equipped with a green chip that monitors information such as the amount of
remaining ink for each cartridge.
is
means that even if the cartridge is removed from the printer before it is
expended, you can still use the cartridge aer reinserting it back into the printer. However, when reinserting a
cartridge, some ink may be consumed to guarantee printer performance.
For maximum ink eciency, only remove an ink cartridge when you are ready to replace it. Ink cartridges with
low ink status may not be used when reinserted.
To ensure you receive premium print quality and to help protect your print head, a variable ink safety reserve
remains in the cartridge when your printer indicates to replace the cartridge.
e
yields quoted for you do not
include this reserve.
Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled materials, this does not aect printer function or
performance.
Specications and appearance of the ink cartridge are subject to change without prior notice for improvement.
Do not disassemble or remodel the ink cartridge, otherwise you may not be able to print normally.
You cannot use the cartridges that came with the printer for the replacement.
Quoted yields may vary depending on the images that you are printing, the paper type that you are using, the
frequency of your prints and environmental conditions such as temperature.
Ink consumption
To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all cartridges not only during
printing but also during maintenance operations such as ink cartridge replacement and print head cleaning.
When printing in monochrome or grayscale, color inks instead of black ink may be used depending on the
paper type or print quality settings. is is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.
e
ink in the ink cartridges supplied with your printer is partly used during initial setup. In order to produce
high quality printouts, the print head in your printer will be fully charged with ink. is one-o process
consumes a quantity of ink and therefore these cartridges may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink
cartridges.

recovery mode, you cannot update the rmware over a network
connection.)
2. Visit your local Epson website for further instructions.
* In some print cycles a very small amount of surplus ink may be collected in the ink pad. To prevent ink leakage
from the pad, the printer is designed to stop printing when the pad has reached its limit. Whether and how
oen
this is required will vary according to the number of pages you print, the type of material that you print and the
number of cleaning cycles that the printer performs. e need for replacement of the pad does not mean that your
printer has ceased to operate in accordance with its
specications.
e
printer will advise you when the pad
requires replacing and this can only be performed by an authorised Epson Service provider.
e
Epson warranty
does not cover the cost of this replacement.
