driver settings, the application settings, the interface cable
(be sure to use a shielded cable), or the computer itself.
If the check page does not print satisfactorily, as shown
below, or if it doesn’t print at all, there is a problem with the
printer. For example, if any segment of the printed lines is
missing, this could mean a clogged ink nozzle.
Replacing an Ink Cartridge
You can check the status of the ink cartridges by looking at the
icons on the control panel.
1. Press
Setup.
2. Press d to choose
Ink Levels,
then press
OK.
The level of ink shown on the
icons indicates the
approximate amount of ink
remaining. If an ink cartridge
is low, you see a caution
symbol. This is a good time to make sure you have a
replacement cartridge.
If an ink cartridge is empty, you see a message on the
display telling you that the cartridge needs to be replaced.
3. Press
OK, then press Setup to exit the Setup menu.
Caution: You cannot print if any ink cartridge is empty. Leave the
empty cartridge installed in the printer until you have obtained a
replacement, or the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry
out. To ensure good results, use genuine Epson ink cartridges and do
not refill them. Other products may cause damage to your printer not
covered by Epson’s warranty.
When an installed cartridge is more than six months old, you
may need to replace it if printouts don’t look their best. If the
quality doesn’t improve after cleaning and aligning the print
head, you can replace the cartridge.
Use these Epson ink cartridges within six months of installing
them and before the expiration date on the package:
