10. Push down on the side pin while turning the latch to the left.
11. Close the front cover. The carriage returns to the home position and the
printer returns to its previous status.
Replacing the Maintenance Tank
The maintenance tank stores ink that gets flushed from the system during
automatic print head cleaning, or when you clean the print head nozzles or
switch between black ink modes. When the tank is almost full, the
Maintenance Tank
light on the control panel flashes. When the tank is
completely full, the printer stops working and the Maintenance Tank light
stays on. You see the message
CHANGE MAINTENANCE TANK
on the
control panel.
You can check how much space remains in the maintenance tank by viewing
its indicator on the control panel, shown below. You can also check its status
using the SelecType menu (see page 5-3) or by printing a nozzle check sheet
(see page 5-4).
Replacement tanks are available from EPSON (part number C12C890071).
Caution
Do not try to slide the
carriage by hand, or you
may damage the printer.
