The Epson Stylus Pro 7800 has one maintenance tank (on the right side), and the 9800 has two (one on either side). Replacement tanks are available from Epson (part number C12C890191).

The printer will not print if one of the maintenance tanks is full. On the Epson Stylus Pro 9800, the right tank is used more than the left. To maximize tank life, you can switch the tanks when the right tank reaches approximately 60% of capacity.

Follow these steps to replace the tank:

1.Make sure the printer is not printing or performing any other operations (READY or PAPER OUT should appear on the LCD display).

2.If you have the Epson Stylus Pro 9800, check the LCD display to determine which tank needs to be replaced (left or right).

3.Grasp the handle at the bottom of the tank (on the side of the printer) and gently pull out the maintenance tank.

Caution: Be careful not to spill ink from the maintenance tank when removing it. Hold it upright at all times and dispose of it carefully.

4.Place the used tank in the plastic bag included with the new tank.

5.Insert the new tank.
