How To / Replacing Ink Cartridges
Replacing an Ink Cartridge
Using the printer's control panel
Using Status Monitor 3
This printer uses ink cartridges equipped with IC chips. The IC chip accurately monitors
the amount of ink used by each cartridge, so even if a cartridge is removed and later inserted again, all of its
ink can be used. However, some ink is consumed each time the cartridge is inserted because the printer automatically
checks reliability.
Using the printer's control panel
The printer's indicator lights will inform you when it is time to obtain a replacement ink
cartridge and when it is time to replace an empty cartridge.
This table describes the status of the lights on your printer and the actions you need to
take.

Warning: |
|
- Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. Do not allow children
to drink from or otherwise handle the cartridges.
|
|
- Be careful when you handle the used ink cartridges, as there may be some
ink around the ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water. If ink
gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems remain after a thorough
flushing, see a doctor immediately.

|
Caution: |
|
- EPSON recommends the use of genuine EPSON ink cartridges. Other products
not manufactured by EPSON may cause damage to your printer not covered by EPSON's warranties.
|
|
- Leave the old cartridge installed in the printer until you have obtained
a replacement; otherwise, ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.
|
|
- Do not refill the ink cartridges. The ink cartridges for this printer
are not for refill. The printer calculates the amount of ink remaining using an IC chip on the ink cartridge: Even
if the cartridge is refilled, the amount of ink remaining will not be recalculated by the IC chip and the amount
of ink available for use will not change.
|
|
Note: |
|
- You cannot continue printing with one ink cartridge empty, even if the
other cartridge still contains ink. Before printing, replace the empty cartridge.
|
|
- In addition to the ink used during document printing, ink is consumed
during the print head cleaning operation and during the self-cleaning cycle which is performed when the printer
is turned on, and during ink charging when the ink cartridge is installed in the printer.
