2 Refilling ink

Refilling ink

Precautions when refilling ink

■ We recommend the use of genuine Epson ink bottles. Epson cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-genuine ink. The use of other products may affect your print quality and could result in printer damage.

■ Keep ink bottles out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to drink from or handle the ink bottles and ink bottle cap.

■ The printer requires careful handling of ink. Ink may splatter when the ink tanks are filled or refilled with ink. If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.

■ Be careful not to touch the ink when you handle the ink tanks, ink tank caps, and any opened ink bottles or ink bottle caps. If ink gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems continue after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.

■ Do not open the ink bottles until you are ready to use them. Ink bottles are vacuum packed to maintain reliability.

■ Continue using the printer until the ink level reaches the lower line so that the ink tank can be refilled with the entire contents of a new ink bottle.

■ This printer uses IDs that are printed on each ink bottle to fill or refill ink. IDs are only valid one time.

■ Some ink is consumed from all ink tanks during the print head cleaning.

■ Store the ink bottles in the same environment as the printer. 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.

■ When the ink alert message appears on your computer screen, you can click the Continue button to continue printing if the ink level is above the lower line on the ink tank. If the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank, refill the ink soon. Continued use of the printer when the ink level is below the lower line on the tank could damage the printer.

Refilling ink tanks 3

Refilling ink tanks

You must refill the tank to be able to print. You cannot print when any of the ink tanks are expended even if the other ink tanks still have ink.

You can refill an ink tank when the ink alert message appears on your computer screen and the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank.

You must use the printer driver to refill the ink. Click the How to button in the EPSON Status Monitor window and follow the on-screen instructions, or follow the instructions below to refill ink.

Warning: Keep the ink bottles out the reach of children and don’t drink the ink.

Caution: For best printing results, use up the ink bottle before the date printed on the package.

Note: The illustrations show how to refill the black ink. However, the instructions are the same for all of the inks.

Place a sheet of paper under the ink tank when refilling ink. If ink spills, wipe off the ink immediately to prevent accidental staining of objects.

1. Make sure the P power light is on but not flashing.

2. Unhook the ink tank unit from the printer and lay it down.

Caution: Do not pull the ink tubes.

3. Open the ink tank unit cover, and then remove the ink tank cap.

Note: Be careful not to spill any ink.

Make sure that the color of the ink tank matches the ink color that you want to refill.

4. Snap off the top of the cap and remove the ink bottle cap. Then remove the bottle seal and replace the cap.

Note: Do not throw away the top of the cap. If any ink remains in the bottle after refilling the tank, use the top of the cap to seal the ink bottle cap.

5. Refill the ink tank with the correct colored ink up to the upper line on the ink tank.

Note: If any ink remains in the ink bottle after filling the ink tank up to the upper line, place the cap securely and store the ink bottle upright for later use.

6. Place the cap securely onto the ink tank and then close the ink tank unit cover.

7. Hook the ink tank unit onto the printer.

Caution: Make sure the transportation lock is set to the

printing position when using the printer, or ink will not be delivered and you may experience print quality problems. When transporting the printer, set the transportation lock to the transport position or ink may leak.

8. Confirm the ID that is printed on the ink bottle and then follow the on-screen instructions to enter the ID and complete the refilling procedure.

Important safety instructions

Before using your product, read and follow these safety instructions:

General safety

■ Do not block or cover the vents and openings in the printer.

■ Use only the type of power source indicated on the printer’s label.

■ Use only the power cord that comes with the printer. Use of another cord may result in fire or electric shock.

■ The printer’s power cord is for use with the printer only. Use with other equipment may result in fire or electric shock.

■ Be sure your AC power cord meets the relevant local safety standard.

■ Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.

■ Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers.

■ Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.

■ The power-supply cords should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do not place objects on top of the power-supply cords and do not allow the power-supply cords to be stepped on or run over. Be particularly careful to keep all the power-supply cords straight at the ends and the points where they enter and leave the transformer.

Important safety instructions 7

■ If you use an extension cord with the printer, make sure that the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure that the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating.

■ Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the power cord, printer unit, scanner unit, or options by yourself, except as specifically explained in the printer’s guides.

■ Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the printer; the printer has been dropped or the casing damaged; the printer does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Do not adjust controls that are not covered by the operating instructions.

■ When connecting the printer to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the correct orientation of the connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a connector in the wrong orientation may damage both devices connected by the cable.

■ If damage occurs to the plug, replace the cord set or consult a qualified electrician. If there are fuses in the plug, make sure you replace them with fuses of the correct size and rating.

■ Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base of the printer in all directions. If you place the printer by the wall, leave more than 4 inches (10 cm) between the back of the printer and the wall. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted at an angle.

■ When storing or transporting the printer, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it upside down. Otherwise, ink may leak.

■ Allow spaces behind the printer for the cables, and space above the printer so that you can fully raise the document cover.

■ Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Also, keep the printer away from direct sunlight, strong light, or heat sources.

■ Do not place or store the printer outdoors, near excessive dirt or dust, water, heat sources, or in locations subject to shocks, vibrations, high temperature or humidity. Do not use with wet hands.

■ Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.

■ Do not insert objects through the slots in the printer.

■ Take care not to spill liquid on the printer.

■ Do not put your hand inside the printer during printing.

■ Do not touch the white flat cable and ink tubes inside the printer.

■ Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around this printer. Doing so may cause fire.

■ Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may damage the printer.

■ Always turn the printer off using the P power button. When this button is pressed, the P power button light flashes. Do not unplug the printer or turn off the power at the outlet until the P power button light stops flashing.

■ Before transporting the printer, make sure that the print head is in the home (far right) position.

8 Limited warranty

■ Refill ink when the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank. Continued use of the printer when the ink level is below the lower line could damage the printer.

■ If you are not going to use the printer for a long period, be sure to unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

■ Do not press too hard on the document table when placing the originals.

Ink safety

■ Keep ink bottles and the ink tank unit out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to drink from or handle them.

■ Do not tilt or shake an ink bottle after removing its seal; this can cause leakage.

■ Be careful not to touch any ink when you handle the ink tanks, ink tank caps, and opened ink bottles or ink bottle caps. If ink gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.

■ 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 bottle in a cool, dark place.

■ 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.
