Media Loading and Handling Guidelines
Don’t use any cleaning sheets included with special media; they may jam inside the printer.
The type of paper or other media you use is one of the most important factors in determining the quality of your printed output. The following tips will help you get the best results on any type of paper or other media:
❏Always handle sheets by the edges, and don’t touch the printable surface.
❏Be sure to load the printable (whiter or glossier) side of the media face up in the sheet feeder.
❏Load paper only up to the arrow mark on the left edge guide.
❏Remember to select the correct Media Type and Paper Size for your paper.
❏If the special media has protective sheets between the sheets of media, be sure to remove the protective sheets before printing. After printing, cover the printed side of your media with these sheets before storing.

❏Use ink jet papers within one year of purchase. Use glossy film and transparencies within six months. Return unused sheets and envelopes to their original packages as soon as possible. See “Paper” on page 2 for more media storage information.
❏Set the thickness lever to the + position when you print on envelopes or if ink smears when you print on other thick media. Open the printer cover and position the lever as shown below. Then close the cover and print. (Make sure you return the lever to the 0 position before you print on regular media.)

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.
You can also check your ink levels using the Status Monitor (not available for Windows 3.1). See your electronic EPSON Stylus COLOR 900N Manual for details.
Use these EPSON ink cartridges within six months of installing them and before the expiration date on the package:
❏ | Black ink cartridge | T003011 |
❏ | Color ink cartridge | T005011 |
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 Accessories at (800)
If you need to replace an ink cartridge before the lights flash (because the ink is too old, for example), see the instructions in “Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge” on page 9.
