Printing a Status Check
The status check shows the amount of ink remaining in each
cartridge, the page count, and the status of the cutter blade,
maintenance tank, and other printer parts.

maintenance tank yourself. Other parts need to be replaced by an
authorized EPSON service technician.
Follow these steps to print the status check:
1. Load a sheet of paper in the printer. (You can print test
pages on roll paper, but you will use more paper.)

E* F = nearly empty (or service life near end)
E F = empty (or service life ended)

Replacing an Ink Cartridge
The easiest way of checking ink levels is from the control
panel:
When one of the Ink Out lights is flashing (and INK LOW is
displayed on the control panel), the corresponding cartridge is
almost out of ink. Make sure you have a replacement
cartridge. When the light stays on and INK OUT is displayed,
the cartridge is empty. You must replace the cartridge before
you can continue printing.
See page 5 for information on selecting the correct
replacement cartridges. Before you start, make sure the printer
is turned on. Then follow these steps to replace an ink
cartridge:
1. Note the color of the cartridge whose Ink Out light is on or
flashing. This is the cartridge you need to replace.
2. Open the ink compartment cover.
