Ink Cartridge Handling Precautions
Read the following instructions before replacing ink cartridges.
Storing precautions for ink
❏Keep the ink cartridges out of direct sunlight.
Replacing Ink Cartridges and Other Consumables
>
Ink Cartridge Handling Precautions
100
❏Do not store the ink cartridges in high or freezing temperatures.
❏For best results, Epson recommends using up ink cartridges before the best before date printed on the package,
or within six months of opening the package, whichever is earlier.
❏For best results, store ink cartridge packages with their bottom down.
❏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.
❏Do not open the ink cartridge package until you are ready to install it in the printer. e cartridge is vacuum
packed to maintain its reliability. If you leave a cartridge unpacked for a long time before using it, normal
printing may not be possible.
Handling precautions for replacing ink cartridges
❏Be careful not to break the hooks on the side of the ink cartridge when you remove it from the package.
❏Do not shake cartridges aer opening the package, as they may leak.
❏You must remove the yellow tape from the cartridge before installing it; otherwise, print quality may decline or
you may not be able to print. Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this can cause leakage.
❏Do not remove the transparent seal from the bottom of the cartridge; otherwise, the cartridge may become
unusable.

Ink Cartridge Handling Precautions
101
❏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 replace ink cartridges with the power o. 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 or do not turn o the printer during cartridge
replacement. Otherwise, ink remaining in the print head nozzles will 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, with the ink supply port facing down or
sideways. Do not store ink cartridges with the ink supply port facing up. 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. However, when reinserting a
cartridge, some ink may be consumed to guarantee printer performance.
❏For maximum ink eciency, only remove an ink cartridge when you are ready to replace it. Ink cartridges with
low ink status may not be used when reinserted.
❏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.
❏Do not disassemble or remodel the ink cartridge, otherwise you may not be able to print normally.
❏You cannot use the cartridges that came with the printer for the replacement.
Ink consumption
❏To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all cartridges during maintenance
operations. Ink may also be consumed when you replace ink cartridge or turn the printer on.
❏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.
❏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.

Maintenance Box Handling Precautions
106
❏Do not touch the openings in the maintenance box as you may get smeared with ink.
❏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.
❏Keep the maintenance box out of direct sunlight.
❏Do not store the maintenance box in high or freezing temperatures.
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.
Replace the maintenance box when you are promoted to do so. e Epson Status Monitor, your LCD, or lights on
the control panel will advise you when this part needs replacing. 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 the maintenance box is full, you cannot print and clean the print head until it is replaced to avoid ink leakage.
However, you can perform operations that do not use ink such as scanning.
❏When the following screen is displayed, the part cannot be replaced by users. Contact Epson support.
1. Remove the new maintenance box from its package.

Maintaining the Printer
Preventing the Print Head from Drying
Always use the power button when turning the printer on and o.
Check that the power light is o before you disconnect the power cord.
e ink itself can dry out if it is not covered. Just like placing a cap on a fountain pen or an oil pen to prevent it
from drying, make sure the print head is capped properly to prevent the ink from drying.
When the power cord is unplugged or a power outage occurs while the printer is in operation, the print head may
not be capped properly. If the print head is le as it is, it will dry out causing nozzles (ink outlets) to clog.
In these cases, turn the printer on and o again as soon as possible to cap the print head.
Checking and Cleaning the Print Head
If the nozzles are clogged, the printouts become faint, there is visible banding, or unexpected colors appear. When
print quality has declined, use the nozzle check feature and check if the nozzles are clogged. If the nozzles are
clogged, clean the print head.
c
Important:
❏Do not open the scanner unit or turn o the printer during head cleaning. If the head cleaning is incomplete, you
may not be able to print.
❏Head cleaning consumes ink and should not be performed more than necessary.
❏When ink is low, you may not be able to clean the print head.
❏If print quality has not improved aer repeating nozzle check and head cleaning about four times, wait for at
least six hours without printing, and then run the nozzle check again and repeat the head cleaning if necessary.
We recommend to turn o the printer. If print quality has still not improved, contact Epson support.
