Setup & Maintenance / Replacing Consumable Products

Replacement Messages

When you see the following messages on the LCD panel or the window of EPSON Status Monitor 3, replace the appropriate consumable products. You can continue to print for a short time after a message appears, but Epson recommends early replacement to maintain print quality and extend the life of your printer.

LCD Panel Message	Description

Note:

To clear the warning, select Clear All Warning from the control panel's Reset Menu.

If a consumable product reaches the end of its service life, the printer stops printing and displays the following messages on the LCD panel or the window of EPSON Status Monitor 3. When this happens, the printer cannot resume printing until you replace the depleted consumable products.

Replace Waste T Box	The waste toner collector is full.

* The letters C, M, Y, or K appear in this position, indicating the color of the toner to be replaced. For example, the message Y Toner Low means that the amount of toner remaining in the yellow toner cartridge is low.

The printer stops printing if printing with a worn consumable product might damage the printer. If the printer stops printing, replace the consumable product.
