Replacing an Ink Cartridge

When the red H ink light flashes, an ink cartridge is low on

ink.

When the red H ink light stays on, you need to replace a

cartridge.

When a 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 even if the red H ink light is off.

Caution: Don’t open Epson Status Monitor or respond to any

on-screen, low ink messages when your printer is in the middle

of a print job. This may cause your printer to pause and leave an

uneven surface on your printout. If your ink is running low, wait

until printing finishes before checking ink levels or attempting to

replace a cartridge. If you must replace an ink cartridge in the

middle of a print job, the quality of your printout may decline.

For best results, check your ink levels and replace ink cartridges,

if necessary, before printing.

Checking the Ink Supply

To check your ink supply, do one of the following:

❏ Windows: Double-click the icon on the Windows

taskbar. You see a window like this:

❏ Macintosh:

OS X: Choose

Applications > EPSON Printer Utility >

SP R800 > EPSON StatusMonitor

OS 8.6 to 9.x: Choose

File > Print, then click the ink

icon.

You see a window like the one shown below. Click a

cartridge image to display information about the cartridge.

Purchasing Ink Cartridges

Use these Epson ink cartridges within six months of installing

them and before the expiration date on the package:

Caution: 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.

Ink Cartridge Precautions

WARNING: Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.

If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and

water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them thoroughly with water.

Caution: To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print head

by hand.

You cannot print if an ink cartridge is empty. Leave the empty

cartridge installed in the printer until you have obtained a

replacement. Otherwise the ink remaining in the print head nozzles

may dry out.
