Installing an Ink Cartridge for the First

Time

Follow these ink cartridge precautions and the others in

the Printer Basics book:

❏ Install both ink cartridges, and leave them installed for

all types of printing, or the printer won’t work.

❏ Remove the yellow tape seal from the top of the ink

cartridges or you’ll permanently damage them. Don’t

remove the clear seals on the bottom or ink will leak

out.

❏ Don’t touch the green chip on the back of the

cartridge. This may inhibit normal operation and

printing.

❏ Never turn off the printer when the

power light is

flashing, unless the printer hasn’t moved or made any

noise for more than five minutes.

Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and

do not drink the ink.

If ink gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with

soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them

immediately with water.

1. Plug the printer into an electrical outlet and turn it on. The

ink cartridges move into the loading position.

If the ink cartridges fail to move to the loading position,

press the ink cartridge replacement button, shown below.

2. Lower the output tray and open the cover.

The

power light is on when the printer is on and

ready to print. It flashes when the printer is

receiving a print job, charging ink, or cleaning the

print head. It also flashes when the print head

moves to the ink cartridge replacement position

is on and

flashes

When the

maintenance light comes on and the

power light flashes, paper is out or loaded

incorrectly, or you have a paper jam.

If paper is out or loaded incorrectly, load or reload

your paper. Then press the

maintenance button

to turn off the

maintenance light and resume

printing. (If you’re printing on roll paper, press the

maintenance button to turn off the

maintenance light, and then press the

roll paper

button to resume printing.)

If paper is jammed, do one of the following:

❏ If you’re printing on any type of media but roll

paper, press the

maintenance button to try

to clear the jam. If that doesn’t work, turn off

the printer and gently pull the paper forward

(toward the output tray) to pull it out. Then turn

on the printer and press the

maintenance

button to turn off the

maintenance light and

resume printing.

❏ If you’re printing on roll paper, press the

roll

paper button for at least three seconds to clear

the jam. (You may have to repeat this step

more than once to back the paper out

completely.) If that doesn’t work, turn the

printer off and trim the roll at a point a few

inches after it exits the printer. Gently pull the

roll backward, taking care not to force the

printer mechanism.

flash When both the lights flash, one of the ink

cartridges is low on ink. To find out which one, do

the following:

printer software.

Macintosh: Check the EPSON Monitor 3

utility.

Then replace the ink cartridge as described on page 8.

is out of ink. Determine which cartridge is empty

by checking the ink level graphic in the printer

software (Windows) or the EPSON Monitor 3

utility (Macintosh). Then replace the cartridge as

described on page 8. If both lights come on after

you’ve replaced a cartridge, you may have installed

a cartridge your printer can’t use.

Jammed paper may be blocking movement of the

print head, or you may have an internal error. Turn

off the printer, open the cover, and check for any

jammed paper. Also, make sure you removed all

the packing material, as described on the Start

Here poster. Then turn the printer back on.
