Replacing an Ink Cartridge

When the B black or A color ink out light flashes, the
indicated cartridge is low on ink. This is a good time to make
sure you have a new cartridge. When the light stays on, the
cartridge is empty and you need to replace it.
When an installed ink cartridge is more than six months old,
you may also need to replace it if you notice that your
printouts don't look as good as they used to. If print quality
doesn't improve after cleaning and aligning the print head,
you can replace one or both cartridges. To check the level of
ink you have left, see the graphic in the printer driver
(Windows) or click the
or EPSON Monitor 3 utility (Macintosh).
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.
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.
Use these EPSON ink cartridges within six months of
installing them and before the expiration date on the package:

The printer's first ink cartridges will run out of ink sooner
than the replacement cartridges. This is because the printer
has to charge its ink delivery system when cartridges are
installed the first time.
To conserve ink, avoid cleaning the print head more often
than necessary, and always turn the printer off using the
power button (not from a power strip or external switch).
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).
2. Check the B black and A color ink out lights to see which
ink cartridge you need to replace.

3. Open the printer cover and press the yellow ink cartridge
replacement button. The print head moves left and the
Ppower light begins flashing.
To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print head
by hand.
4. The color cartridge is on the right and the black cartridge is
on the left. Pull up the ink cartridge clamp all the way. The
cartridge rises up from its holder.
5. Lift the cartridge out of the printer and dispose of it
carefully.
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.
