Replacing Ink Cartridges and Maintenance Boxes
The maintenance box stores ink that gets flushed from the system during print head cleaning. When an
ink cartridge is expended or the maintenance box is at the end of its service life, you need to replace it.
You may also need to replace a cartridge that is more than six months old if your printouts do not look
their best, even after cleaning and aligning the print head.
Note: Please dispose of your used Epson branded ink cartridges and maintenance boxes responsibly
and in accordance with local requirements. If you would like to return your used ink cartridges and
maintenance boxes to Epson for proper disposal, please go to epson.com/recycle for more information.

Ink Safety Precautions
• Keep ink cartridges and maintenance box out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.
• Keep the ink cartridges out of direct sunlight.
• Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place; do not store the ink cartridges in high or freezing
temperatures.
• Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges; there may be ink remaining around the ink supply
port. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them
immediately with water.
• Do not dismantle an ink cartridge. This could damage the print head.
• Do not disassemble or modify the ink cartridge or maintenance box; otherwise ink may get into your
eyes or on your skin or you may not be able to print normally.
• Do not shake cartridges too vigorously; this can cause them to leak.
• Do not drop or knock ink cartridges against hard objects; this can cause leakage.
• Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this can cause leakage.
