- When the
message Check Ink Levels appears on
the control panel screen, check how much ink is left in the ink
tank.
If the remaining ink level is above the top edge of the metal plate
or greater than 1.9 in. (50 mm) from the base of the ink tank,
continue to use the printer until the remaining ink level is below
the top edge of the metal plate or less than 1.9 in. (50 mm) from
the base of the ink tank so that you can use all the ink in a new
ink pack to refill the ink tank.
If the remaining ink level is 1.9 inches (50 mm) or less, go to the next step.
Note: When the message Refill Ink Tank is displayed on the control panel screen and the remaining ink level is above the top edge of the metal plate or greater than 1.9 in. (50 mm) from the base of the ink tank, it is time to replace the ink tank. The ink tank must be replaced because fine dirt, dust, and other foreign material may cause the ink tank’s filter to malfunction. The ink tank replacement interval depends on the usage environment and conditions. Contact Epson Support for information on replacing components. - Open the ink tank cover.
