Precautions on Refilling Ink

We recommend the use of genuine EPSON ink bottles. Epson cannot guarantee the quality or 
reliability of non-genuine ink. The use of other products may affect your print quality could 
result in printer damage.

Other products not manufactured by Epson may cause damage that is not covered by Epson’s 
warranties and under certain circumstances may cause erratic printer behavior.

Keep ink bottles out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to drink from or handle the 
ink bottles and ink bottle cap.

The printer requires careful handling of ink. Ink may splatter when the ink tanks are filled or 
refilled with ink. If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.

Be careful not to touch any ink when you handle the ink tanks, ink tank caps, and opened ink 
bottles or ink bottle caps. If ink gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and 
water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision 
problems continue after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.

Do not open ink bottles until you are ready to use them. 

Continue using the printer until the ink level reaches the lower line so that the ink tank can be 
refilled with the entire contents of a new ink bottle.

This printer uses IDs that are indicated on each ink bottle to fill or refill ink. IDs are only valid 
one time.

Some ink is consumed from all ink tanks during the print head cleaning.

Store the ink bottles in the same environment as the printer. When storing or transporting an 
ink bottle after removing its seal, do not tilt the bottle and do not subject it to impacts or 
temperature changes. Otherwise, ink may leak even if the cap on the ink bottle is tightened 
securely. Be sure to keep ink bottle upright when tightening the cap, and take measures to 
prevent ink from leaking when you transport the bottle.

When the ink alert message appears on your computer screen, you can click the 

Continue

 

button to continue printing if the ink level is above the lower line on the ink tank. If the ink 
level is below the lower line on the ink tank, refill the ink soon. Continued use of the printer 
when the ink level is below the lower line on the tank could damage the printer.

Refill Ink Tanks

You can refill an ink tank when the ink alert message appears on your computer screen and the ink 
level is below the lower line on the ink tank.
