Refilling Ink When the ink level is below the lower line on an ink tank, you need to refill it. Periodically check the ink tanks to see if they need to be refilled. Before checking the ink levels or refilling an ink tank as described here, be sure to read the ink safety precautions. Caution: If the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank, fill it to the upper line on the ink tank. Continued use of the product when the ink level is below the lower line on a tank could damage the product.
• If ink spills, wipe it up immediately. To prevent the ink from spreading, blot the spill with a dry cloth, then wipe it with a damp cloth. The ink will be hard to remove once it has dried. Ink Refilling Precautions • Use ink bottles with the correct part number for this product. • Epson's warranties do not extend to any damage caused by the use of third-party ink or ink not designed for your printer. • This product requires careful handling of ink.
Ink Bottle and Ink Tank Information • To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all ink tanks during printing and when performing maintenance operations, such as cleaning the print head. Ink may also be consumed when the product is turned on. • The ink bottles may contain recycled materials, but this does not affect product function or performance.
Checking Ink Levels on Your Product To confirm the actual ink levels, visually check the ink levels in the product’s ink tanks. Make sure the ink levels are above the lower lines on the ink tanks. Note: The product has a low ink alert system. The accuracy of this system depends on the user refilling the ink tanks correctly. The product cannot directly measure the ink levels in the tanks; instead it estimates the amount of ink remaining by internally monitoring ink usage.
You see a window like this: 2. Refill any ink tank as needed. Note: The ink levels displayed are an estimate and may differ from the actual ink remaining in the ink tanks.
