Replacing Ink Cartridges
When an ink cartridge is expended, you need to replace it.
You may also need to replace a cartridge that is more than six months old, if your printouts do not look
their best, even after cleaning and aligning the print head.
Note: Please dispose of your used EPSON branded ink cartridges responsibly and in accordance with
local requirements. If you would like to return your used ink cartridges to Epson for proper disposal,
please go to www.epson.com/recycle for more information.

Checking Cartridge Status Lights
You can check the status of your ink cartridges by checking the lights on your product.
• If the ink light is flashing, a cartridge is low. You can continue printing until the cartridge needs
replacement.
• If the ink light is on, a cartridge is expended. You must replace the cartridge before you can print.
Note: Depending on the color of the expended cartridge and how you are printing, you may be able to
continue printing temporarily.
