 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:

• 

 Use only Epson

®

 570 ink provided to you under the ReadyPrint 

program.

• 

 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 may print 

fewer pages compared with replacement ink bottles.

 With the scanner unit raised, open the ink tank cover, then 

open the cap for the black (BK) ink tank.

Note:

 Refer to the color-coded sticker 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 

tank 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 bottle cap. If any ink remains in the bottle, 

close the bottle and store it for later use.

Note:

 Do not leave the ink bottle inserted; otherwise the bottle may 

be damaged or ink may leak.

 Securely close the black ink tank cap.

 Repeat the previous steps for the other colors.
