30 Maintaining Your All-in-One
Checking the Ink Cartridge Status
When the red Bink light starts flashing, a cartridge is low on ink. You can
continue printing until a cartridge needs replacement. When the red Bink light
stays on, you need to replace a cartridge.
Note:
You cannot print or copy when an ink cartridge is expended even if the other cartridges
are not expended. Replace any expended cartridges before printing or copying.
A window may also appear on your computer screen when you try to print when
ink is low. This window can optionally display ink offers and other updates
retrieved from an Epson website. On a Windows computer that is connected to
the Internet, you may see a screen asking if you want to receive these Epson offers
the first time you try to print when ink is low. Click Accept or Decline.
Note:
To disable checking for ink offers or updates from Epson, see the instructions in your
on-screen User’s Guide.
Tip:
If a cartridge is more than six months old, print quality may decline. If necessary, try
cleaning the print head (see page 29). If printouts still do not look their best, you may
need to replace the cartridge.
