Note: Epson
strongly recommends the use of genuine ink to ensure optimal print
quality and performance.
Note: The
product has a low ink alert system. The accuracy of this system
depends on the user refilling the ink tanks correctly. The product
cannot directly measure the ink levels in the tanks; instead it
estimates the amount of ink remaining by internally monitoring ink
usage. The low ink alert system may generate inaccurate messages if
the ink tanks are not refilled according to these instructions.
As a precaution, perform regular visual inspections of
the ink tanks to ensure ink levels do not fall below the lower
line. Continued use of the product when the ink level is below the
lower line on the tank could damage the product.
Ink Handling Precautions
- Keep ink
bottles and the ink tanks out of the reach of children. Do not
allow children to drink from or handle the ink bottles and bottle
caps.
- Do not tilt
or shake an ink bottle after opening it; otherwise, ink may
leak.
- Be careful not to touch any ink when you handle the
ink tanks, ink tank caps, and opened ink bottles or ink bottle
caps.
- If ink gets on your skin, wash it thoroughly with
soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately
with water. If discomfort or problems persist, see a doctor
immediately. If ink gets into your mouth, spit it out and see a
doctor right away.
- Do not shake or squeeze the ink bottles.
- If ink spills, wipe it up immediately. To prevent
the ink from spreading, blot the spill with a dry cloth, then wipe
it with a damp cloth. The ink will be hard to remove once it has
dried.
Ink Refilling Precautions
- Use ink
bottles with the correct part number for this product.
- Epson's warranties do not extend to any damage
caused by the use of third-party ink or ink not designed for your
printer.
- This product
requires careful handling of ink. Ink may splatter when the ink
tanks are filled or refilled with ink. If ink gets on your clothes
or belongings, it may not come off.
- Do not open
the ink bottle package until you are ready to fill an ink tank. Ink
bottles are vacuum packed to maintain reliability. If you leave an
ink bottle unpacked for a long time before using it, print quality
may be affected.
- If the ink level is below the lower line on an ink
tank, refill the ink. Continued use of the product when the ink
level is below the lower line on an ink tank could damage the
product.
- Visually
check the ink levels in the product’s ink tanks to confirm the
actual ink levels. Continued use of the product when the ink is
expended could damage the product.
- Do not maintain low ink levels for extended periods
of time.
- Epson
recommends filling an ink tank to the upper line before resetting
the ink level.
- After
bringing an ink bottle inside from a cold storage site, allow it to
warm up at room temperature for at least three hours before using
it.
- Use the ink bottle before the date printed on the
package.
- After opening an ink bottle, Epson recommends using
it as soon as possible.
- Wipe off any
ink around the tanks and ports with a clean, lint-free cloth or
cotton swab.
- Store ink bottles in a cool, dark place. Keep them
out of direct sunlight.
- Do not store the ink bottles in high or freezing
temperatures.
- Store the
ink bottles in the same environment as the product. When storing or
transporting an opened ink bottle, do not tilt the bottle and do
not subject it to impacts or temperature changes. Otherwise, ink
may leak even if the cap on the ink bottle is tightened securely.
Be sure to keep the ink bottle upright when tightening the cap, and
take measures to prevent ink from leaking when you transport the
bottle.
Ink Bottle and Ink Tank
Information
- To maintain
optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all ink
tanks during printing and when performing maintenance operations,
such as cleaning the print head.
- Some ink in the ink bottles supplied with your
product is used during initial setup; these ink bottles may print
fewer pages compared to subsequent ink bottles.
- The ink
bottles may contain recycled materials, but this does not affect
product function or performance.
- The specification and appearance of the ink bottles
are subject to change without prior notice for improvement.
- When
printing in monochrome or grayscale, color ink may be used instead
of black ink, depending on the paper type or print quality
settings. This is because a mixture of color inks is used to create
black.
- A reserve amount of ink remains in the tank when
your product indicates that a refill is necessary. The yields
quoted for you do not include this reserve.
