Ink Cartridge Handling Precautions

Never move the print head by hand.
Some ink is consumed from all cartridges during

the following operations: print head cleaning and

ink charging when an ink cartridge is installed.
For maximum ink efficiency, only remove an ink

cartridge when you are ready to replace it. Ink

cartridges with low ink status may not be used

when reinserted.
Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson ink

cartridges. Epson cannot guarantee the quality

or reliability of non-genuine ink. The use of

non-genuine ink may cause damage that is not

covered by Epson’s warranties, and under certain

circumstances, may cause erratic printer behavior.

Information about non-genuine ink levels may

not be displayed, and use of non-genuine ink is

recorded for possible use in service support.
Make sure you have a new ink cartridge before

you begin replacement. Once you start replacing

a cartridge, you must complete all the steps in one

session.
Leave the expended cartridge installed until you

have obtained a replacement. Otherwise the ink

remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.
Do not open the ink cartridge package until you

are ready to install it in the printer. The cartridge is

vacuum packed to maintain its reliability.
Other products not manufactured by Epson may

cause damage that is not covered by Epson’s

warranties, and under certain circumstances, may

cause erratic printer behavior.
Do not turn off the printer during ink charging as

this will waste ink.
When an ink cartridge is expended, you cannot

continue printing even if the other cartridges still

contain ink.
