Ink Cartridge Precautions

Follow these precautions and those listed on page 60 before handling ink cartridges:

Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.

If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them thoroughly with water.

To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print head by hand.

You cannot print if either ink cartridge is empty. Leave the empty cartridge installed in the printer until you have obtained a replacement. Otherwise the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.

You must remove the yellow tape from the top of the cartridge or you will permanently damage it. Don’t try to remove the clear seal underneath the cartridge.

Don’t touch the green circuit board on the back of the cartridge; you may inhibit normal operation and printing.

Determining Which Cartridge to Replace

If the b error light is flashing, you need to find out which ink cartridge is low or empty. Check the information in the EPSON Status Monitor 3 (Windows) or EPSON StatusMonitor (Macintosh) window that automatically appears on your screen when you print.
