When a message is displayed prompting you to replace the maintenance box, refer to the animations displayed on
the control panel. The need for replacement of the box does not mean that your printer has ceased to operate in
accordance with its specifications. The Epson warranty does not cover the cost of this replacement. It is a user-
serviceable part.
Note:
When it is full, you cannot print until the maintenance box is replaced to avoid ink leakage.
