Replacing a Maintenance Box
In some print cycles a very small amount of surplus ink may be collected in the maintenance box. To prevent ink
leakage from the maintenance box, the printer is designed to stop printing when the absorbing capacity of the
maintenance box has reached its limit. Whether and how oen this is required will vary according to the number
of pages you print, the type of material that you print and the number of cleaning cycles that the printer performs.
Replace the maintenance box when you are promoted to do so. e Epson Status Monitor, your LCD, or lights on
the control panel will advise you when this part needs replacing. e need for replacement of the box does not
mean that your printer has ceased to operate in accordance with its specications. e Epson warranty does not
cover the cost of this replacement. It is a user-serviceable part.
