Additional Media Loading Guidelines

Caution:

Don’t use the cleaning sheets that may be included with your special media; they may damage the printer.

❏Be sure to load the printable (whiter) side of the media face up in the sheet feeder.

❏You can load paper up to the arrow mark on the left edge guide.

❏In addition to the Media Type option, remember to select the correct Paper Size for your media on the Paper menu.

❏Some special media have a cut corner that you need to position correctly; follow any instructions in the package. Always handle sheets by the edges, and don’t touch the printable surface.

Note:

If you need to replace an ink cartridge before the lights flash (because the ink is too old, for example) follow the instructions in “Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge” on page 9.

When you need new ink cartridges, contact your dealer or call EPSON Accessories at (800) 873-7766 (U.S. sales only). In Canada, please call (800) 873-7766 for dealer referral.

Removing an Empty Ink Cartridge

Note:

If you press the R cleaning button when neither ink out light is flashing or on, the printer cleans the print head (see “Cleaning the Print Head”).

You can replace a cartridge when the B black or A color ink out light is either flashing or on. Follow these steps:

1. Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing.

❏If the special media has protective sheets between each sheet of media, be sure to remove the protective sheets before printing.

2. Lower the output tray and raise the printer cover.

Caution:

Never move the print head by hand.

Don’t open the clamp or remove a cartridge except to replace it with a new one. Once you remove a cartridge, you can’t reuse it.

3.Press the R cleaning button and hold it for three seconds. The print head moves slightly to the left and the P power light begins flashing.

4.Pull up the ink cartridge clamp. The cartridge rises up from its holder.

Replacing an Ink Cartridge

When a B black or A color ink out light flashes, the indicated cartridge is low on ink. This is a good time to make sure you have a new cartridge. When the light stays on, the cartridge is empty and you need to replace it. You cannot print if either ink cartridge is empty.

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.

Use these EPSON ink cartridges within six months of installing them and before the expiration date on the package:
