PictureMate PM 215

Replacing the Photo Cartridge

33

c

Caution:

❏

Epson recommends the use of genuine
Epson photo cartridges. Epson cannot
guarantee the quality or reliability of
non-genuine ink. The use of non-genuine
ink may cause damage that is not covered
by Epson’s warranties, and under certain
circumstances, may cause erratic printer
behavior.

❏

Leave the old cartridge installed in the
printer until you have obtained a
replacement; otherwise, ink remaining in
the print head nozzles may dry out.

❏

Do not refill photo cartridges. 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.

Note:

❏

PictureMate uses photo cartridge equipped with
an IC chip. The IC chip monitors the photo
cartridge status.

❏

In addition to the ink used while printing an image,
ink is also used during the print head cleaning
operation.

❏

Do not turn off the printer during ink charging as
this will waste ink.

For more information about photo cartridges.

&

See “When handling photo cartridges” on page 7

1.

Make sure that PictureMate is on, but not printing.

2.

Open the cartridge compartment cover on the
back of PictureMate.
