40 Setting Up the Printer

Warning

If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.

Note

5.Remove each cartridge from its packaging. If you’re using EPSON UltraChrome ink, gently shake each cartridge before installing it.

If you can’t insert the cartridge smoothly, you may have the wrong cartridge.

Note

To initialize the printer in Matte Black Mode, install a Matte Black cartridge in the first slot and a Light Black cartridge in the second slot. For Dual Matte Black usage, install Matte Black cartridges in both slots.

6.Install the ink cartridges in the printer. Hold each cartridge with the arrow mark pointing toward the printer. Insert it until the corresponding Ink Out light turns off on the control panel.

Photographic Dye ink users: insert the black ink cartridges in the first two slots on the left.

UltraChrome ink users: if you’re installing the included cartridges, insert the Photo Black cartridge in the first slot on the left, then insert the Light Black cartridge in the second slot. (Otherwise, see the note at left.)

7.After installing all the cartridges, lower the ink lever to the locked position and close the ink compartment cover.
