Checking the Ink Cartridge Status

When the red B ink light starts flashing, one or more cartridges are low on ink. When the red B ink light stays on, you need to replace the cartridge(s). You’ll also see a message on your screen when you print, telling you which cartridge is low or expended. (You cannot print when a cartridge is expended.)

Tip:

If a cartridge is more than six months old, print quality may decline. If necessary, try cleaning the print head (see page 33). If printouts still do not look their best, you may need to replace the cartridge.

You can purchase genuine Epson ink and paper from an Epson authorized reseller. To find the nearest reseller, call 800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766). Or you can purchase online at www.epsonstore.com (U.S. sales) or www.epson.ca (Canadian sales).
