Epson Stylus CX7800
If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning four or five times, see your Basics Guide for problem solving. You can also turn the printer off and wait overnight. This lets any dried ink soften. Then try cleaning the print head again.
Tip:
If you do not use your Epson Stylus CX7800 often, it is a good idea to print a few pages at least once a month to maintain good print quality.
Replacing Ink Cartridges
The LCD screen indicates when an ink cartridge is low or needs to be replaced:
❏When an ink cartridge is low, you see the H ink low icon in the
Ink low
❏When printing or copying, a colored bar showing which ink cartridge is low appears next to the H ink low icon.
Low ink cartridge
❏When an ink cartridge is empty, the LCD screen displays the ink levels and indicates the empty cartridge. (You cannot print when a cartridge is empty.)
When a cartridge is more than six months old, you may need to replace it if printouts don’t look their best. If the quality doesn’t improve after cleaning and aligning the print head, you can replace the cartridge even if the H ink low icon is not displayed on the LCD screen.
You can purchase genuine Epson ink and paper from an authorized Epson reseller. To find the nearest reseller, please call
Caution:
Leave the empty cartridge installed until you have obtained a replacement, or the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.
We recommend that you use genuine Epson cartridges. The use of other products may affect your print quality and could result in printer damage. Yields vary considerably based on images printed, print settings, paper type, frequency of use, and temperature. The printer ships with full cartridges and part of the ink from the first cartridges is used for priming the printer.
