Important:
This printer is equipped with a remaining ink
warning system. Use the following replacement and
refilling procedures to replace the chip unit and
refill the ink correctly.
This system does not directly detect the amount of
ink remaining in the ink tank, but estimates the
amount remaining depending on how much the ink
has been used and then displays a warning message
when necessary. To maintain the accuracy of this
system, you must replace the chip unit and refill the
ink as soon as possible once the remaining ink is 70
mm or less from the bottom of the ink tank.
Procedures for Replacement and
Refill
The refill method differs depending on the type of ink.
Use the refill method that matches the type of ink.
Before performing operations, check the “Safety data
sheet”and the following notes.
You can download it at your local Epson Web site.

Caution:
❏
Store ink packs and waste ink in a location out
of reach of children.
❏
Wear protective eyewear, gloves, and a mask
when performing maintenance.
Should ink or waste ink contact your skin or
enter your eyes or mouth, take the following
actions:
❏
If fluid adheres to your skin, wash it off using large
volumes of soapy water. If you notice any reaction
developing in the affected area, consult with a
qualified physician immediately.
❏
If ink gets into your eyes, wash them out
immediately with water. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in bloodshot eyes or mild
inflammation. Consult with a qualified physician
if any other problems should develop.
❏
If fluid enters your mouth, consult with a
physician as soon as possible.
❏
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Consult
with a physician as soon as possible. If vomiting is
induced, vomited material may enter the
windpipe, which is dangerous.
❏
Be aware of the following points when refilling
ink.
❏
Carefully cut open the nozzle on the ink pack.
If too much force is applied, the ink may splatter
out.
❏
Do not grip the ink pack too strongly after
opening. This may cause the ink to be squeezed
out of the pack.
❏
When pouring the ink into the ink tank, slowly tilt
the ink pack to pour.
