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.

1 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.

2 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.

3 Insert the ink bottle into the ﬁlling port.

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

for each color.

4 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.

5 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.
