Replacing the Ink Cartridge Your printer’s V
ink out light tells you whe n it’s time to
replace the ink cartridge. A flashing V
ink out light indicates
that the cartridge is low on ink. When the ink cartridge is
empty, the printer stops automatically and the V
ink out light
is lit continuously.
Note:
❑If you need to replace the ink cartridge with a new one before the
V
ink out light flashes, see “Fixing Ink Cartridge Problems” on
page 6-22.
❑EPSON recommends the use of genuine EPSON ink cartridges.
Other products not manufactured by EPSON may cause damage
to your printer not covered by EPSON’s warranties.
cCaution:
❑Leave the old cartridge installed in the printer until you
are ready to replace it with a new one.
❑Once you remove an ink cartridge, it becomes unusable
and cannot be reinstalled even if ink remains. Otherwise,
it may damage the printer or cause the ink level sensor to
malfunction.
To replace the ink cartridge, follow these steps.
1. Make sure the P power light is on and the V
ink out light
is flashing or on.
2. Open the printer cover.
