Replacing Consumables 119
❏ This printer uses ink cartridges equipped with an IC chip that monitors the amount of ink
used by each cartridge. Cartridges are usable even if they are removed and reinserted.
❏ If you need to remove an ink cartridge temporarily, be sure to protect the ink supply
area from dirt and dust. Store the ink cartridge in the same environment as the printer.
When storing the cartridge, be sure that its label identifying the color of the ink cartridge
is facing upward. Do not store ink cartridges upside down.
❏ The valve in the ink supply port is designed to contain any excess ink that may be
released. However, careful handling is recommended. Do not touch the supply port of
the ink cartridge or its surrounding area.
❏ Ink is consumed during the following operations: print head cleaning, initial ink
charging, and nozzle maintaining.
❏ Never turn off the printer during initial ink charging. The ink may fail to be filled up and
the printer may become unavailable to print.
❏ If you change the ink cartridge to Extra High Capacity Ink Cartridge, retain the default
ink cartridge or Standard Capacity Ink Cartridge, or High Capacity Ink Cartridge. One of
these cartridges is needed when you transport the printer.
❏ The use of other products not manufactured by Epson may affect your print quality and
could result in printer damage that is not covered by Epson’s warranties.
❏ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to drink the ink or
handle the cartridges.
❏ Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges, as there may be some ink around the
ink supply port or surrounding area. 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 continue after a thorough flushing, see a doctor
immediately.
❏ We recommend that you use genuine Epson cartridges and do not refill them. The use
of other products may affect your print quality and could result in printer damage. Epson
cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-genuine ink. The ink cartridge status is
not displayed when non-genuine ink is used.
❏ 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.
❏ You cannot continue printing with one ink cartridge expended, even if the other
cartridges still contain ink. Before printing, replace the expended cartridge.
❏ Never turn off the printer while replacing the ink cartridge. Doing so may damage the IC
chip on the ink cartridge and the printer may not print properly.
