Replacing an Ink Cartridge
If print quality has declined and three attempts to clean the print heads did not improve the quality, replace one or both ink cartridges. You can check print quality by doing a printer self test as described in Chapter 1.
Use these EPSON ink cartridges or cartridges manufactured to EPSON’s specifications only:
| Black ink cartridge | S020034 |
| Color ink cartridge | S020036 |
When you need new ink cartridges, contact your dealer or call EPSON Accessories at (800)
Caution:
c The printer will be damaged if you use ink or cartridges not manufactured by EPSON or which do not meet EPSON’s specifications. Do not attempt to refill ink cartridges manually. If you use substandard products with your EPSON printer, you will damage the print heads and void your warranty.
Leave the old cartridge installed in the printer until you are ready to replace it with a new one. Attempting to print without a cartridge installed can damage the printer.
Any paper in the paper path is ejected automatically when you replace the cartridge.
