Replacing an Ink Cartridge
When the 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. 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.
Use these EPSON ink cartridges within six months of installing them and before the expiration date on the package:
■Black ink cartridge: T019201 (U.S.), T019311 (Canada)
■Color ink cartridge: T020201 (U.S.), T020311 (Canada)
To ensure good results, use genuine EPSON ink cartridges and do not refill them. Other products may cause damage to your printer not covered by EPSON’s warranty.
When you need new ink cartridges, contact your dealer or call EPSON at

Before you replace a cartridge, be sure to read the precautions below.
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cartridge before the lights flash (because the ink is too old, for example) follow the instructions in “Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge” on page 26.
Ink Cartridge Precautions
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.
To avoid damaging the printer, 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, even if it contains ink.
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.
