Checking the Ink Cartridge Status
When the red B ink light starts flashing, a cartridge is low on ink. You can continue printing until a cartridge needs replacement. When the red B ink light stays on, you need to replace a cartridge.
Note:
You cannot print or copy when an ink cartridge is expended even if the other cartridges are not expended. Replace any expended cartridges before printing or copying.
A window may also appear on your computer screen when you try to print when ink is low. This window can optionally display ink offers and other updates retrieved from an Epson website. On a Windows computer that is connected to the Internet, you may see a screen asking if you want to receive these Epson offers the first time you try to print when ink is low. Click Accept or Decline.

To disable checking for ink offers or updates from Epson, see the instructions in your
Tip:
If a cartridge is more than six months old, print quality may decline. If necessary, try cleaning the print head (see page 27). If printouts still do not look their best, you may need to replace the cartridge.
