Ink Supply Unit Handling Precautions
Read the following instructions and Important Safety Instructions (paper manual) before replacing ink supply units.
Handling precautions
❏Store ink supply units at normal room temperature and keep them away from direct sunlight.
User's Guide
Replacing Ink Supply Units and Other Consumables
81
❏Epson recommends using the ink supply unit before the date printed on the package.
❏For best results, store ink supply unit packages with their bottom down.
❏Aer bringing an ink supply unit inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at
least 12 hours before using it.
❏Do not touch the sections shown in the illustration. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing.
❏Install all ink supply units; otherwise you cannot print.
❏Do not turn o the printer during ink charging. If the ink charging is incomplete, you may not be able to print.
❏Do not leave the printer with the ink supply units removed; otherwise, ink remaining in the print head nozzles
may dry out and you may not be able to print.
❏If you need to remove an ink supply unit temporarily, make sure you protect the ink supply area from dirt and
dust. Store the ink supply unit in the same environment as the printer. Because the ink supply port is equipped
with a valve designed to contain the release of excess ink, there is no need to supply your own covers or plugs.
❏Removed ink supply units may have ink around the ink supply port, so be careful not to get any ink on the
surrounding area when removing the ink supply units.
❏is printer uses ink supply units equipped with a green chip that monitors information such as the amount of
remaining ink for each ink supply unit. is means that even if the ink supply unit is removed from the printer
before it is expended, you can still use the ink supply unit aer reinserting it back into the printer.
❏To ensure you receive premium print quality and to help protect your print head, a variable ink safety reserve
remains in the ink supply unit when your printer indicates to replace the ink supply unit. e yields quoted for
you do not include this reserve.
❏Although the ink supply units may contain recycled materials, this does not aect printer function or
performance.
❏Specications and appearance of the ink supply unit are subject to change without prior notice for
improvement.
❏Do not disassemble or remodel the ink supply unit, otherwise you may not be able to print normally.
❏Do not drop or knock the ink supply unit against hard objects; otherwise, the ink may leak.
❏You cannot use the ink supply units that came with the printer for the replacement.
❏Quoted yields may vary depending on the images that you are printing, the paper type that you are using, the
frequency of your prints and environmental conditions such as temperature.
Consumption of Ink
❏To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all ink supply units during
maintenance operations such as print head cleaning. Ink may also be consumed when you turn on the printer.
User's Guide
Replacing Ink Supply Units and Other Consumables
82
❏When printing in monochrome or grayscale, color inks instead of black ink may be used depending on the
paper type or print quality settings. is is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.
❏e ink in the ink supply units supplied with your printer is partly used during initial setup. In order to produce
high quality printouts, the print head in your printer will be fully charged with ink. is one-o process
consumes a quantity of ink and therefore these ink supply units may print fewer pages compared to subsequent
ink supply units.
❏For best results, use up ink supply unit within two years of installation.

Maintenance Box Code
Epson recommends the use of a genuine Epson maintenance box.
e following is the code for the genuine Epson maintenance box.
T6716
Maintenance Box Handling Precautions
Read the following instructions and Important Safety Instructions (paper manual) before replacing the
maintenance box.
❏Do not touch the green chip on the side of the maintenance box. Doing so may prevent normal operation and
printing.
❏Do not tilt the used maintenance box until aer it is sealed in the plastic bag; otherwise ink may leak.
❏Keep the maintenance box out of direct sunlight.
❏Do not replace the maintenance box during printing; otherwise, ink may leak.
❏Do not reuse a maintenance box which has been removed and le detached for a long period. Ink inside the box
will have solidied and no more ink can be absorbed.
Replacing a Maintenance Box
In some print cycles a very small amount of surplus ink may be collected in the maintenance box. To prevent ink
leakage from the maintenance box, the printer is designed to stop printing when the absorbing capacity of the
maintenance box has reached its limit. Whether and how oen this is required will vary according to the number
of pages you print, the type of material that you print and the number of cleaning cycles that the printer performs.

When a message is displayed prompting you to replace the maintenance box, refer to the animations displayed on
