Using Your Ink Jet Printer Safely and Efficiently
The EPSON Stylus COLOR uses two ink cartridges, one black and one color. Inside the print head, tiny spray units shoot ink from the cartridges onto the page to form characters or graphics.
The printer will be damaged if you use ink or cartridges
not manufactured by EPSON or which do not meet EPSON’s specifications. Do not attempt to refill ink cartridges manually. If you use substandard products with your EPSON printer, you will damage the print heads and void your warranty.
❑Under normal circumstances, ink will not come out of the cartridge. If it does get on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.
❑Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.
❑Once you install an ink cartridge, do not open the clamp or remove the cartridge except to replace it with a new one. The cartridge may become unusable otherwise.
❑Install an ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from its package. Leaving a cartridge unpacked for a long time before use may result in poor print quality.
❑Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the cartridge carton. Use up the ink cartridges within six months of installing them.
❑Do not shake an ink cartridge; this can cause leakage.
❑Do not put your hand inside the printer or touch the cartridge during printing.
❑Before you turn off the printer, make sure that the print head is capped (in the far right position). The print head is capped when no data is received for several seconds; you can also cap the print head by pressing the Pause button.
