 Fill ink tanks

Warning:

 Keep the ink bottles out of the reach of children and do not 

drink the ink. 

Caution:

 This product requires careful handling of ink. If ink spills, 

wipe it off immediately with a damp towel to avoid permanent stains. 
If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.

Note:

•  Epson cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of third-party ink.
•   Use the ink bottles included with the printer to set up the product. 

Part of the ink will be used to charge the print head. These bottles 
will print fewer pages compared with replacement ink bottles.

•   The included ink bottles are designed for reliable printer setup and 

cannot be resold.

Epson recommends the use of Genuine Epson 524 pigment 
inks. The use of any other inks may cause damage not covered 
by the warranty, particularly if they are not pigment. Epson 
cannot guarantee that non-Epson 524 inks are pigment, even if 
labeled as compatible.

 Open the ink tank cover, then open the cap for the 
black ink tank.

Note:

 Refer to the color-coded sticker on the ink tank unit to 

identify the color of each tank.

 Unpack the black (BK) ink bottle. Hold the ink bottle 
upright and slowly turn the bottle cap to remove it.

Caution:

 Do not shake or squeeze the ink bottle. Do not touch 

the top of the ink bottle after its cap is removed.

 Insert the ink bottle into the filling port.

Note:

 Do not force the bottle into position; each bottle is keyed 

for each color.

 Wait for the ink to fill the tank. Do not squeeze the bottle 
or allow it to contact any other surface.

Note:

 Ink flows into the tank and stops automatically when the 

ink is filled to the upper line. If ink does not flow from the bottle, 
lift and reinsert the bottle.

 When the ink tank is full, remove the ink bottle 
and securely close it with the cap. If any ink 
remains in the bottle, store it for later use.

Note:

 Do not leave the ink bottle inserted; otherwise 

the bottle may be damaged or ink may leak.

 Close the black ink tank cap.

 Repeat the previous steps for the other colors.
