electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:

• 

Do not use the Epson

 Fill ink tanks

Warning:

 Keep the ink bottles out of the reach of children and do not 

drink the ink.

Caution:

 This product requires careful handling of ink. If ink spills, 

wipe it off immediately with a damp towel to avoid permanent stains. 

If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.

Note:

• 

 Epson cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of third-party ink.

• 

 Use the ink bottles included with the printer to set up the product. 

Part of the ink will be used to charge the print head. These bottles 

may print fewer pages compared with replacement ink bottles.

• 

 Epson strongly recommends the use of genuine ink to ensure 

optimal print quality and performance.

 With the scanner unit raised, open the ink tank cover, then 

open the cap for the black (BK) ink tank.

Note:

 Refer to the color-coded sticker to identify the color of 

each tank.

 Unpack the black (BK) ink bottle. Hold the ink bottle 

upright and slowly turn the bottle cap to remove it.

Caution:

 Do not shake or squeeze the ink bottle. Do not touch 

the top of the ink bottle after its cap is removed.

 Insert the ink bottle into the filling port.

Note:

 Do not force the bottle into position; each bottle is keyed 

for each color.

 Wait for the ink to fill the tank.     

Do not squeeze the bottle or 

allow it to contact any other 

surface.

Note:

 Ink flows into the tank and 

stops automatically when the ink 

tank is filled to the upper line. If ink 

does not flow from the bottle, lift and 

reinsert the bottle.

 When the ink tank is full, remove the ink bottle and 

securely close it with the bottle cap. If any ink remains in 

the bottle, close the bottle and store it for later use.

Note:

 Do not leave the ink bottle inserted; otherwise the bottle 

may be damaged or ink may leak.

 Securely close the black ink tank cap.

 Repeat the previous steps for the other colors.
