Replacing an Ink Cartridge
Checking the Ink Supply
To check your ink supply, do one of the following:
■
Press one of the Menu buttons on the
EPSON 1000 ICS control panel several
times until you see
Ink Levels
. This gives
you an approximate percentage of ink
remaining in each cartridge.
■
In Windows, double-click the
printer icon on your taskbar (in the
lower right corner of your screen). If
one of your cartridges is low, you’ll
see a window like this one:
If you have multiple printers
installed, you may not see this
window. To get the ink status,
access your printer settings as
described on page 10, click the
Utility tab, and then click EPSON
Status Monitor.
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.
Purchasing Ink Cartridges
Use EPSON ink cartridges within six months of installing them and before the
expiration date on the package. Look for ink cartridge packages labelled T017 (black)
or T018 (color).
To ensure good results, use genuine EPSON ink cartridges and do not
refill them. Other products may cause damage to your EPSON 1000 ICS
not covered by EPSON’s warranty.
When you need new ink cartridges, contact your dealer, or call the EPSON Store at
(800) 873-7766 or visit www.epsonstore.com (U.S. sales only). In Canada, please call
(800) 463-7766 for dealer referral.
