148Maintaining and Transporting the Printer
If the printer’s maintenance tank is almost used up, you’ll need to replace it as well. The printer tells you during the process if it needs to be replaced, but you may wish to check it in advance; that way, you can make sure you have one available, in case it’s needed.
Check the maintenance tank indicator on the control panel:
Maintenance tank indicator (showing a new tank)
If the indicator is low, make sure you have a spare maintenance tank available (EPSON part number C12C890071).
