To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print head by hand.
You cannot print if either 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.
You must remove the yellow tape from the top of the cartridge or you will
permanently damage it. Don’t try to remove the clear seal underneath the
cartridge.
Don’t touch the green circuit board on the back of the cartridge; you may
inhibit normal operation and printing.
Determining Which Cartridge to Replace
To find out which ink cartridge is low or empty, do one of the following:
■ Check the information in the EPSON Status Monitor 3 (Windows) or EPSON
StatusMonitor (Macintosh) window that automatically appears on your screen
when you print.
■ Press the
e ink cartridge replacement button and check
the flash pattern of the control panel lights:
■
b
error and
Ppower lights flash at the same speed =
replace black cartridge
■
b
error light flashes twice as fast as the
Ppower
light = replace color cartridge
Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges
Be sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. Once you start the ink
cartridge replacement procedure, you must complete all the steps in one session.
Follow these steps to replace ink cartridges:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing (the
Ppower light should be
on, but not flashing), then open the printer cover.
2. Press the
e ink cartridge replacement button. The print head moves to the center
and the
Ppower light flashes and the
b
error light flashes or remains on. (If you
need to determine which cartridge to replace, check the status monitor window or
the control panel light pattern now, as described above.)
