caution:
To ensure good results, use genuine EPSON cartridges and do not refill them. Other products may cause damage to your printer not covered by EPSON’s warranty.
Don’t remove a cartridge until you have a replacement ready or the print head nozzles may dry out.
Replacing an Ink Cartridge
When you’re low on ink or one of the cartridges is empty, you’ll see a message on the LCD panel and the Error light will turn on or flash. It’s a good idea to keep new cartridges on hand, since you can’t print if either ink cartridge is empty.
Use these EPSON ink cartridges within six months of installing them and before the expiration date on the package:
■ | Black ink cartridge: | S020189 |
■ | Color ink cartridge: | S020191 |
Cartridges should be available where you bought your printer. You can also order them from EPSON Accessories at
