❏
Do not continue printing when the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank. Continued use of the
printer when the ink level is below the lower line could damage the printer. Epson recommends filling all ink
tanks to the upper line when the printer is not operating to reset the ink levels.
❏
To ensure you receive premium print quality and to help protect your print head, a variable ink safety reserve
remains in the ink tank when your printer indicates to refill ink. The yields quoted for you do not include this
reserve.
❏
Although the ink bottles may contain recycled materials, this does not affect printer function or performance.
❏
Specifications and appearance of the ink bottle are subject to change without prior notice for improvement.
❏
Quoted yields may vary depending on the images that you are printing, the paper type that you are using, the
frequency of your prints and environmental conditions such as temperature.
Ink consumption
❏
To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all ink tanks not only during
printing but also during maintenance operation such as print head cleaning.
❏
When printing in monochrome or grayscale, color inks instead of black ink may be used depending on the
paper type or print quality settings. This is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.
❏
The ink in the ink bottles supplied with your printer is partly used during initial setup. In order to produce high
quality printouts, the print head in your printer will be fully charged with ink. This one-off process consumes a
quantity of ink and therefore these bottles may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink bottles.
