Installing the Cartridges the First Time

1. Turn on the printer.

2. Lower the printer’s output tray and open the cover.

3. Shake each ink cartridge four or five times. Then unwrap 

the cartridges.

Don’t remove the cartridge labels, or ink may leak.

4. Wait a moment for the ink cartridge holders to move into 

loading position. Then lower each ink cartridge into its 
holder. The color of the cartridge label should match the 
sticker on the holder.

Install all four ink cartridges, and leave them 
installed for all types of printing, or the printer won’t 
work.

5. Gently push each cartridge down until it clicks into place.

6. Press the 

 

H

 ink cartridge replacement button and close the 

printer cover. 

7. Ink charging takes about 90 seconds. You will see the 

 

P

power light flash and hear the printer charging your ink. 

Don’t turn off the printer during this process or you’ll waste 
ink.

Never turn off the printer when the 

 

P

power light is 

flashing unless the printer hasn’t moved or made any 
noise for more than 5 minutes.

Replacing an Ink Cartridge

When the 

 

H

 ink out light is flashing, one of your ink cartridges 

is low on ink. When the 

 

ink out light stays on, an ink 

cartridge is empty and you need to replace it.

You cannot print if any of the ink cartridges are empty. 
Leave the empty cartridge installed in the printer until 
you have obtained a replacement; otherwise the ink 
remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.

When an installed ink cartridge is more than six months old, 
you may also need to replace it if you notice that your 
printouts don’t look as good as they used to. If print quality 
doesn’t improve after cleaning and aligning the print head, 
you can replace the cartridge even if the 

 

H

 ink out light isn’t 

flashing. See page 7 for instructions.

Use these EPSON ink cartridges within six months of 
installing them and before the expiration date on the package:

To ensure good results, use genuine EPSON ink 
cartridges and do not refill them. Other products may 
cause damage to your printer not covered by EPSON’s 
warranty.
