Caution:
To ensure good results, use genuine EPSON cartridges 
and do not refill them. Other products may cause 
damage to your printer not covered by EPSON’s 
warranty.

When a 

 

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. You cannot print if either 
ink cartridge is empty. 

Use these EPSON ink cartridges within six months of 
installing them and before the expiration date on the package:

❏ Black ink cartridge: S020093

❏ Color ink cartridge: S020110

You can replace a cartridge when the 

 

B black or 

 

A color ink 

out light is either flashing or on. Follow these steps:

1. Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing. 

2. Determine which cartridge needs to be replaced.

3. Lower the output tray and raise the printer cover. 

Note:
If you press the 

 

R

 cleaning button when neither ink out light is 

flashing or on, the printer cleans the print head as described on 
page 10. If you need to replace an ink cartridge before the lights flash 
(because the ink is too old, for example) follow the instructions in 
“Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge.”

4. Press the 

 

R cleaning button and hold it for three seconds. 

The print head moves slightly to the left and the 

 

P power 

light begins flashing. (The print head returns to its home 
position if you don’t proceed to step 5 within 60 seconds.)

5. Pull up the ink cartridge clamp. The cartridge rises up from 

its holder.

Caution:
Don’t open the clamp or remove a cartridge except to 
replace it with a new one. Once you remove a 
cartridge, you can’t reuse it. Even if the cartridge 
contains ink, reusing it may damage the print head.

6. Lift the cartridge out of the printer and dispose of it 

carefully. 

7. Follow the steps in the next section to install the new ink 

cartridge.

Warning:
If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with 
soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them 
immediately with water.

Once you have removed the empty cartridge, you’re ready to 
install the new one. Follow these steps:

1. Remove the new ink cartridge from its packaging. 

2. Remove only the yellow part of the tape seal on the top of 

the cartridge. Do not remove the white part. (It’s OK if the 
tape does not exactly tear off along the dotted line.)

Caution:
You must remove the yellow tape seal from the top of 
the cartridge; leaving the tape on will permanently 
damage it. Do not remove the clear seal from the bottom 
of the cartridge; ink will leak out.

3. Lower the ink cartridge into its holder with the label facing 

up and the arrow pointing to the back of the printer. The 
larger cartridge (color) goes on the right, the black ink 
cartridge on the left.

4. Press down the ink cartridge clamp until it locks in place.

5. If you need to replace the other ink cartridge, remove it as 

described in “Removing an Empty Ink Cartridge.” Then 
follow steps 1 through 4 in this section.

6. Press the 

 

R cleaning button and close the printer cover.

The printer moves the print head and begins charging the 
ink delivery system. (Even if you don’t press the button, ink 
charging begins 60 seconds after you close the clamp.)

The 

 

Ppower light flashes and the printer makes various 

sounds. Charging takes about two minutes. When it’s 
finished, you can print again.

Caution:
Never turn off the printer while the 

 

P power light is 

flashing, unless the printer hasn’t moved or made any 
noise for more than 5 minutes.
