Precautions on Refilling Ink

This 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.

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 the ink bottle upright when tightening the cap, and take measures to prevent ink from leaking when you transport the bottle.

Epson recommends to 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.

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

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.

Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson ink bottles. 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.

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

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.
