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.
Additional Media Loading Guidelines
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.
❏If the special media has protective sheets between each sheet of media, be sure to remove the protective sheets before printing.
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 (800)
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cartridge before the lights flash (because the ink is too old, for example) follow the instructions in “Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge” on page 8.
