Since this process consumes some ink from the color cartridges as well as the black one, you need to make sure there is enough ink in all the cartridges before you begin. Check the Ink Out lights on the control panel:
If an Ink Out light is on or flashing, you need to replace the cartridge before switching black ink modes
If there is not enough ink in one or more cartridges, you’ll be prompted during the procedure to replace them. If any cartridges are low on ink but not low enough to prevent the procedure from being carried out, you should still make sure you have replacements available, or you will be limited in how much you can print after switching black ink modes. See page
If the printer’s waste ink tank is full, you’ll need to have it replaced as well.
Use the printer’s control panel to check the tank:
1.Press the SelecType button until MAINTENANCE MENU is displayed on the control panel.
2.Press the Item button until you see BK INK CHANGE=EXEC, then press Enter.
3.If WASTE INK TANK FULL is displayed, contact your dealer or EPSON to have the tank replaced. See “Where To Get Help” on page 3.
4.Press the SelecType button to exit the menu.
