210 Replacing Ink Cartridges
c
Caution:
❏ Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson ink cartridges.
Other products not manufactured by Epson may cause
printer damage that is not covered by Epson's warranties.
❏ Leave the old cartridge installed in the printer until you have
obtained a replacement; otherwise, ink remaining in the print
head nozzles may dry out.
❏ Do not refill the ink cartridges. The printer calculates the
amount of ink remaining using an IC chip on the ink
cartridge. Even if the cartridge is refilled, the amount of ink
remaining will not be recalculated by the IC chip and the
amount of ink available for use will not change.
Note:
❏ You cannot continue printing with one ink cartridge empty, even if
the other cartridges still contains ink. Before printing, replace the
empty cartridge.
❏ In addition to the ink used during document printing, ink is
consumed during the print head cleaning operation, during the
self-cleaning cycle (performed when the printer is turned on), and
during ink charging when the ink cartridge is installed in the
printer.
