Replacing the Waste Ink Bottle

When you see one of these messages on the product control panel screen, you need to replace the waste ink bottle:

Prepare empty waste ink bottle
Replace waste ink bottle and press OK

Wait until the product is not printing or cleaning the print head before replacing the waste ink bottle.

Caution:

Replacing the waste ink bottle during printing or cleaning could cause waste ink to leak. When replacing the waste ink bottle, always wear the gloves included in the maintenance kit. Leave the waste ink in the bottle for disposal and do not transfer it to another container.

Raise the stopper on the waste ink bottle.
Lift up the waste ink bottle and remove it from the holder as shown here.
Put the inner seal and cap on the used waste ink bottle.
Insert the waste ink tube into the new waste ink bottle and place the bottle in the holder.
Note: Be sure the waste ink tube is inserted in the waste ink bottle or waste ink could spill onto your product.
Lower the stopper onto the waste ink bottle and make sure it firmly seals to the mouth of the bottle.

Note: If the stopper does not firmly seal, waste ink could spill onto your product.
Press the OK button on the product control panel.
Press the OK button again to reset the waste ink counter.
Caution:

Waste ink is classified as industrial waste. Dispose of waste ink according to your local laws and regulations such as entrusting it to an industrial waste disposal company. When handing over the waste ink to the industrial waste disposal company, make sure you include the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) found on Epson's support website.

Note: If you replaced the waste ink bottle before the replacement message appeared on the control panel, press the maintenance button and select Waste Ink Counter to clear the waste ink counter.
