Examining the Nozzle Check Pattern
Examine the nozzle check pattern you print. It should look
something like this, with the lower pattern colored cyan,
magenta, and yellow:
Each staggered horizontal and straight vertical line should be
complete, with no gaps in the dot pattern. If your printout
looks okay, you’re done. If any dots are missing, clean the print
heads again, as explained in the previous sections.
Replacing an Ink Cartridge
When a B black or A color ink out light flashes, the indicated
cartridge is low on ink. This is a good time to make sure you
have a new cartridge. When the light stays on, the cartridge is
empty and you need to replace it.
Use these
EPSON ink cartridges within six months of installing
them and before the expiration date on the package:
Black ink cartridge S020093
Color ink cartridge S020089
When you need new ink cartridges, contact your dealer or call
EPSON Accessories at (800) 873-7766 (U.S. only). In Canada,
please call (800) 873-7766 for dealer referral.

Caution:
For best results, don’t
replace an ink cartridge
unless its ink out light is
flashing or on.
If ink runs out, you can’t
continue printing, even if
ink remains in the other
cartridge.
To ensure good results,
use genuine EPSON
cartridges and do not refill
them. Other products may
cause damage to your
printer not covered by
EPSON’s warranty.
