Checking the Ink Cartridge Status

When the red H ink light starts flashing, one or more cartridges are low on ink and will need to be replaced soon. When the red H ink light stays on, you need to replace the cartridge(s).

You can also check the ink level using Status Monitor (see the on-screen User’s Guide).

Caution:

You cannot print when an ink cartridge is expended, even if other cartridges are not expended. Leave the expended cartridge(s) installed until you have obtained a replacement, or the ink remaining in the print head nozzle may dry out.

A window may appear on your computer screen if you try to print when ink is low. On a Windows computer that is connected to the Internet, you may see a screen asking if you want to receive ink offers and other updates from Epson.

Click Accept or Decline to continue.

Note:

To disable checking for ink offers or updates from Epson, see the instructions in your
