❏
Do not continue printing when the ink level is below the lower li
mit
on the ink tank. Continued use of the product
when the ink level is below the lower li
mit
could damage the product. Epson recommends filling all ink tanks to the
upper line when the product is not operating to reset the ink levels. If the ink tank is filled as specified above, this
product provides an alert and stops operating at the estimated time so that the ink levels do not fall below the lower
li
mit
on the ink tank.
❏
After bringing an ink bottle inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least
three hours before using it.
❏
Store ink bottles in a cool, dark place.
❏
Store the ink bottles in the same environment as the product. When storing or transporting an ink bottle after
removing its seal, do not tilt the bottle and do not subject it to impacts or temperature changes. Otherwise, ink may
leak even if the cap on the ink bottle is tightened securely. Be sure to keep the ink bottle upright when tightening
the cap, and take measures to prevent ink from leaking when you transport the bottle.
Ink bottle specifications
❏
Epson recommends using the ink bottle before the date printed on the package.
❏
The ink bottles packaged with your product are partly used during initial setup. In order to produce high quality
printouts, the print head in your product will be fully charged with ink. This one-off process consumes a quantity
of ink and therefore these bottles may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink bottles.
❏
Quoted yields may vary depending on the images that you are printing, the paper type that you are using, the
frequency of your prints and environmental conditions such as temperature.
❏
To ensure you receive premium print quality and to help protect your print head, a variable ink safety reserve
remains in the ink tank when your product indicates to refill ink. The yields quoted for you do not include this
reserve.
❏
Although the ink bottles may contain recycled materials, this does not affect product function or performance.
❏
When printing in monochrome or grayscale, color inks instead of black ink may be used depending on the paper
type or print quality settings. This is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.
Checking the Ink Levels
To confirm the actual ink remaining, visually check the ink levels in the product’s ink tanks.
c
Important:
If the ink level is below the lower li
mit
on the ink tank, fill it to the upper line on the ink tank. Continued use of the
product when the ink level is below the lower li
mit
on the tank could damage the product.
Refilling the Ink Tanks
Note:
The illustrations show how to refill the black ink. However, the instructions are the same for all of the inks.
