Checking the Ink Cartridge Status 17
Checking the Ink Cartridge Status
When the  ink light starts flashing, one or more cartridges are low on ink. You 
can continue printing until a cartridge needs replacement. When the  ink light 
stays on, you need to replace the cartridge(s). 
Caution: 
You cannot print when an ink cartridge is expended even if the other cartridges are 
not expended. Leave the expended cartridge(s) installed until you have obtained a 
replacement, or the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.
A window may also appear on your computer screen when you try to print when 
ink is low. This window can optionally display ink offers and other updates 
retrieved from an Epson website. On a computer that is connected to the Internet, 
you may see a screen asking if you want to receive these Epson offers the first time 
you try to print when ink is low. Click 
Accept or Decline.
Note: 
To disable checking for ink offers or updates from Epson, see the instructions in your 
on-screen Epson Information Center.
Tip: 
If a cartridge is more than six months old, print quality may decline. If necessary, try 
cleaning the print head (see page 16). If printouts still do not look their best, you may 
need to replace the cartridge.
