Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges

Be sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. Once you start replacing a cartridge, you must complete all the steps in one session.

Warning:

Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.

Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges; there may be ink remaining around the ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.

Caution:

Do not put your hand inside the Epson Stylus CX all-in-one or touch any cartridges during printing.

If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust and store it in the same environment as the Epson Stylus CX. Note that there is a valve in the ink supply port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent the ink from staining items that the cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink cartridge ink supply port or surrounding area.

Leave the empty cartridge installed until you have obtained a replacement, or the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out, preventing the Epson Stylus CX from printing. To ensure good results, use genuine Epson ink cartridges and do not refill them. Other products may cause damage to your Epson Stylus CX not covered by Epson’s warranty.

1.Make sure the Epson Stylus CX is on.

2.Make sure that the document cover is closed, then open the scanner.

Caution:

Do not open the scanner when the document cover is open.

3.Press and release the B ink button. The P On and B ink lights flash.

Note:

Do not hold down the B ink button for more than 3 seconds or the printer will start to clean the print head.

If one of the cartridges is low or empty, the Epson Stylus CX moves that cartridge to the _ ink out mark. Go to step 4.

If no cartridges are low or empty, the ink cartridge holder moves to the ink replacement position. Go to step 5.
