Checking the Ink Cartridge Status
For Windows
Note:|
Epson cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-genuine ink. If non-genuine ink cartridges are installed, the ink cartridge status may not be displayed.
When an ink cartridge is running low, the Low Ink Reminder screen automatically appears. You can also check the ink cartridge status from this screen. If you do not want to display this screen, first access the printer driver and then click the Maintenance tab, and then Monitoring Preferences. On the Monitoring Preferences screen, clear the Enable Low Ink Reminder check box.
If an ink cartridge is running low, prepare a new ink cartridge.
Please note that two black ink cartridges are required for the printer to function. You cannot continue printing at normal speed if one black cartridge has expended or has been removed, even if the other black cartridge still contains ink. If a new cartridge is not currently available, you can temporarily print at slow speeds using only one cartridge. For more information, refer to Temporarily Continuing Printing with One Ink Cartridge When the Other Is Expended.
