EPSON Stylus Pro 5500
Replacing an Ink Cartridge
When the Ink Out light on the printer’s control panel flashes, the cartridge indicated by the H ink out light is low on ink. This is a good time to make sure you have a replacement cartridge. When the Ink Out light stays on, the cartridge indicated by the H ink out light is empty and you need to replace it.
Use only the following EPSON ink cartridges:
❏ | Black: | T486011 |
❏ | Cyan/light cyan: | T489011 |
❏Magenta/light magenta: T488011
❏Yellow:T487011
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.
Always leave the empty cartridge installed in the printer until you are ready to replace it with a new one.
1.Make sure the printer is turned on, and determine which cartridge needs to be replaced by checking the control panel lights.
2.Open the appropriate ink cartridge compartment door.
3.Lift up the clamp for the empty cartridge, then carefully pull the cartridge straight out of the printer.

4.Make sure the replacement cartridge is the correct color, then remove it from its package.

8. Make sure the corresponding H ink out light goes off.
If it remains on, the cartridge may not be installed correctly.
Remove the cartridge and reinsert it as described above.
