Replacing an Ink Cartridge
When the b error light flashes, an ink cartridge is low on ink. This is a good time to
make sure you have a new cartridge. When the
b
error light stays on, a cartridge is
empty and you need to replace it.
The
b
error light also comes on if you have a paper jam, so make sure
you check for that before replacing a cartridge.
When an installed cartridge is more than six months old, you may need to replace it
if printouts don’t look their best. If the quality doesn’t improve after cleaning and
aligning the print head, you can replace the cartridge even if the b error light is off.
Use these EPSON ink cartridges within six months of installing them and before the
expiration date on the package:
■ Black ink cartridge: T017201 (U.S.), T017311 (Canada)
■ Color ink cartridge: T018201 (U.S.), T018311 (Canada)
To ensure good results, use genuine EPSON ink cartridges and do not
refill them. Other products may cause damage to your printer not
covered by EPSON’s warranty.
When you need new ink cartridges, contact your dealer or call EPSON at
