Replacing Ink Cartridges
Replacing an Empty Ink Cartridge
This printer uses ink cartridges equipped with IC chips. The IC
chip accurately monitors the amount of ink used by each
cartridge, so even if a cartridge is removed and later reinserted,
all of its ink can be used. However, some ink is consumed each
time the cartridge is inserted because the printer automatically
checks reliability.
You can replace an ink cartridge using the printer’s control panel
or using the EPSON Status Monitor utility. Refer to the
appropriate section below for instructions.

Warning:
❏ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. Do not allow
children to drink from or otherwise handle the cartridges.
❏ Be careful when you handle the used ink cartridges, as there
may be some ink around the ink supply port. 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.
