EPSON Stylus COLOR 800
Replacing an Ink Cartridge
When a * black or ) 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.
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:
❏Black ink cartridge S020108
❏ Color ink cartridge S020089
When the ) color ink out light comes on, you can continue to print with black ink. Simply turn the printer off and then back on again. When you print, make sure you choose Black as the Ink setting in your printer software.
Removing an Empty Ink Cartridge
You can replace a cartridge when the * black or ) color ink out light is either flashing or on. Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing before you start. Then follow these steps:

3.Press the ; black or : color cleaning button and hold it for three seconds.
Caution:
If you press the cleaning button when no ink out light is flashing or on, the printer cleans the print heads, as described on page 16. If you need to replace an ink cartridge before the lights flash (because the ink is too old, for example) follow the instructions on page 13.
The print heads move slightly left and the 2power light begins flashing. (The print heads return to their home position if you don’t proceed to step 4 within 60 seconds.)
4.Pull up the ink cartridge clamp. (Although the illustration shows the black ink cartridge, the procedure is the same for replacing the color ink cartridge.)
Caution:
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, even if it contains ink.
The cartridge rises up from its holder.
5.Lift the cartridge out of the printer and dispose of it carefully.
Warning:
If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water.
6.Follow the steps in the next section to install the new ink cartridge.
