Epson Stylus Photo RX600
If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning three or four times, check the troubleshooting solutions in the User’s Guide. You can also turn the RX600 off and wait
Caution:
When you don’t turn on your RX600 for a long time, the print quality can decline. It’s a good idea to turn it on at least once a month to maintain good print quality.
Replacing Ink Cartridges
When the red ! light flashes, one or more ink cartridges are low on ink. When your ink starts getting low, make sure you have replacement cartridges available. You can’t print if a cartridge is empty.
When the red ! light stays on, you need to replace the cartridge(s).
When you print with low or empty ink cartridges, you’ll see a message on your RX600 screen. Check the icon in the
upper right corner to see which cartridge is low or empty:
If you can’t see the icon clearly enough, press the Setup button, then press the d button to select LCD Contrast Adjustment. Use the l and r buttons to decrease or increase the contrast as necessary to see the icon clearly, then press the OK button.
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 red ! light is off.

1.Press the Setup button to enter setup mode.
2.Press the u and d buttons to select Ink Levels, then press the OK button.
You see a graphic with the amount of ink available in each cartridge: B (Black) C (Cyan), LC (Light Cyan),
M (Magenta), LM (Light Magenta), and Y (Yellow).
3.When you’re done checking the ink levels, press the OK button.
When your ink starts getting low, make sure you have replacement cartridges available. You can’t print if a cartridge is empty.
Ink Cartridge Precautions
Warning:
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.
If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them thoroughly with water.
Caution:
To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print head by hand.
You can’t print if an ink cartridge is empty. Leave the empty cartridge installed in the RX600 until you have obtained a replacement. Otherwise the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.
