Boxes
When ink is expended in an ink pack or the maintenance box is at the end of its service life, you need to

Note: Please dispose of your used Epson branded ink packs and maintenance boxes responsibly and in
accordance with local requirements. If you would like to return your used ink packs and maintenance
boxes to Epson for proper disposal, please go to epson.com/recycle for more information.
