Caution: Don’t open Epson Status Monitor or respond to any ink 
messages when your printer is printing. This may cause your 
printer to pause and leave an uneven surface on your printout. If 
your ink is running low, wait until printing finishes before checking 
ink levels or attempting to replace a cartridge. If you must replace 
an ink cartridge in the middle of a print job, the quality of your 
printout may decline. For best results, check your ink levels and 
replace ink cartridges, if necessary, before printing.

Ink Cartridge Precautions
WARNING: Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children; don’t 
drink the ink.
If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and 
water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them thoroughly with water.
Caution: To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print head 
by hand.
You cannot print if an ink cartridge is empty. Leave the empty 
cartridge installed in the printer until you have obtained a 
replacement. Otherwise the ink remaining in the print head nozzles 
may dry out.
Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges
Be sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. Once 
you start replacing a cartridge, you must complete all the steps 
in one session.
You can replace a cartridge whether the red H ink light is off, 
flashing, or on.
1. Make sure the printer is turned on (the green P power light 
should be on, but not flashing). Then open the printer 
cover.
2. Press the H ink button. 
The print head moves and the green P power light flashes.
If a red ink light is flashing or on (indicating a low or empty 
cartridge), the cartridge(s) indicated beneath the light(s) 
needs to be replaced. 
3. Lift up the cartridge cover.
4. Press in the tab on the back of the cartridge, lift it out of the 
printer, and dispose of it carefully.
