Note:
If any of the ink cartridges installed in the product is broken, incompatible with the product
model, or improperly installed, EPSON Total Disc Monitor will not display an accurate calculation
of the ink cartridge status. Be sure to replace or reinstall any such ink cartridge with an ink
cartridge supported by the product.
Precautions on Ink Cartridge Replacement
Read all the instructions in this section before replacing the ink cartridges.
n Install all six ink cartridges. The product does not operate if even only one ink cartridge is
missing.
n This product uses ink cartridges equipped with an IC chip that monitors the amount of ink
used by each cartridge. Cartridges are usable even if they are removed and reinserted.
However, some ink is consumed each time cartridges are inserted, because the product
automatically checks their reliability.
n The valve in the ink supply port is designed to contain any excess ink that may be released.
However, careful handling is recommended. Do not touch the supply port of the ink
cartridge or its surrounding area.
n Ink is consumed during the following operations: ink charging when an ink cartridge is
installed, print head cleaning, and automatic cleaning executed periodically.
n For maximum ink efficiency, only remove an ink cartridge when you are ready to replace it.
Ink cartridges with low ink status may not be used when reinserted.
n Do not refill the ink cartridges. Other products not manufactured by Epson may cause
damage that is not covered by Epson's warranties, and under certain circumstances, may
cause erratic product behavior.
n Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to drink from or handle
the cartridges.
n Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges, as there may be some ink around the ink
supply port. 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.
n Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson ink cartridges. The use of non-genuine ink may
cause damage that is not covered by Epson's warranties, and under certain circumstances,
may cause erratic product behavior.
n Do not open the ink cartridge package until you are ready to install it in the product.
