Replacing Ink Cartridges 17
5. Before you open the new
cartridge package, shake it gently
four or five times. Then remove
the cartridge from the package.
Caution: Do not touch the
green chip or the small window
on the side of the cartridge. This can damage the ink cartridge.
6. Remove the yellow tape from the side of the ink
cartridge.
Caution: Do not remove any other labels or seals, or
ink may leak.
7. Insert the new ink cartridge into the holder and push
it down until it clicks into place.
8. Lower the scanner unit.
9. Press x to begin charging the ink. This takes about
4 minutes. When you see a completion message on the
LCD screen, ink charging is finished.
Caution: Never turn off your Epson printer while ink is
charging or you’ll waste ink. If you see an ink replacement message on the LCD
screen, press OK and press down all the cartridges securely. Then press OK again.
Note: If you replaced a cartridge while copying a document or photo, cancel
printing and make sure your original is still placed correctly on the document table.
Then copy your original again.
If you remove a low or expended ink cartridge, you cannot reinstall and use the
cartridge.
