Epson 520, 525 Replacing Ink Cartridges

Replacing Ink Cartridges 47

Yields vary considerably based on images printed, print settings, paper type, frequency

of use, and temperature. For print quality, a small amount of ink remains in the cartridge

after the “replace cartridge” indicator comes on. The product ships with full cartridges

and part of the ink from the first cartridges is used for priming the product.

For best printing results, use up a cartridge within six months of opening the package

and before the expiration date on the cartridge box.

Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. If cartridges have been exposed to cold

temperatures, allow them to warm up to room temperature for at least 3 hours before

using them.

Replacing Ink Cartridges

Make sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin.

Caution:

Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges are

vacuum packed to maintain reliability.

Leave the expended cartridge installed until you have obtained a replacement, or the ink

remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.

1. Turn on the product.

2. If an ink cartridge is low or expended, you see a

message on the LCD screen indicating which

color to replace. Press OK.

If a cartridge is expended, you must replace it to be able to print or copy. If a

cartridge is low, you can continue printing until a cartridge needs

replacement.

If you’re replacing a cartridge before you see a message on the LCD screen,

press xMenu, press uor d to select Maintenance, and press OK. Then

select Ink Cartridge Replacement and press OK.
