Replacing the ink cartridges
This section describes how to replace the ink cartridges, using light magenta as an example. The replacement 
positions differ for the other colors, but the procedure is the same. 
See “Ink cartridge” on page 165 in this guide for the ink cartridge model numbers. 
1
Open the ink cartridge cover, and wait at least 4 seconds until internal operations stop. 
2
Gently push in the ink cartridge until you hear a click, unlock the lock, and then slowly 
pull it straight out. 
 Use of Epson brand ink cartridges is recommended. Use of non-Epson brand ink 
cartridges can result in problems that will not be covered by the warranty. 
 Epson cannot guarantee the quality and reliability of non-Epson brand products. 
Repairs for any damage or breakdown of this product due to the use of non-Epson 
brand products will not be free of charge even if the warranty period is still valid. 
 This product performs color adjustment based on use of Epson brand ink cartridges. Use 
of non-Epson brand ink products can adversely affect the printing quality and prevent 
the product from realizing its maximum performance. 
 Do not place the ink cartridge with the ink supply holes facing downward. This could 
cause stains on a desk or other surface. In addition, dirt stuck on this product may 
prevent it from functioning properly. 
 Do not store ink cartridges in environments exposed to high temperatures, freezing or 
direct sunlight. 
If you take out the ink in less than 4 seconds, there is a risk that the ink may spurt out. 
 Ink may leak from the ink supply port on the ink cartridge you pulled out. 
 Once an ink cartridge is used, there may be some ink around the ink supply port, so do 
not touch it. 
 Push in. 
 Pull straight out.
