Ink Cartridge Handling Precautions
Read the following instructions before replacing ink cartridges.
Handling precautions
❏Store ink cartridges at normal room temperature and keep them away from direct sunlight.
❏Epson recommends using the ink cartridge before the date printed on the package.
❏For best results, use up ink cartridge within six months of installation.
❏Aer bringing an ink cartridge inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at
least three hours before using it.
User's Guide
Replacing Ink Cartridges and Other Consumables
81
❏Do not touch the sections shown in the illustration. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing.
❏Install all ink cartridges; otherwise you cannot print.
❏Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may damage the printer.
❏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 cartridges 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 cartridge temporarily, make sure you protect the ink supply area from dirt and
dust. Store the ink cartridge 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 cartridges may have ink around the ink supply port, so be careful not to get any ink on the
surrounding area when removing the cartridges.
❏is printer uses ink cartridges equipped with a green chip that monitors information such as the amount of
remaining ink for each cartridge. is means that even if the cartridge is removed from the printer before it is
expended, you can still use the cartridge 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 cartridge when your printer indicates to replace the cartridge. e yields quoted for you do not
include this reserve.
❏Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled materials, this does not aect printer function or
performance.
❏Specications and appearance of the ink cartridge are subject to change without prior notice for improvement.
❏Do not disassemble or remodel the ink cartridge, otherwise you may not be able to print normally.
❏Do not drop or knock it against hard objects; otherwise, the ink may leak.
❏You cannot use the cartridges 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 cartridges during maintenance
operations such as print head cleaning. Ink may also be consumed when you turn on the printer.
❏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 cartridges 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 cartridges may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink
cartridges.

Important:

Maintenance Box Handling Precautions
Read the following instructions 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 remove the lm on the top of the box; otherwise ink may leak.
❏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.

84
❏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
the control panel. e need for replacement of the box does not mean that your printer has ceased to operate in
accordance with its specications. e Epson warranty does not cover the cost of this replacement. It is a user-
serviceable part.
Note:
When it is full, you cannot print until the maintenance box is replaced to avoid ink leakage.
