18 Maintaining Your Printer
Checking the Ink Cartridge Status
When the H ink light starts flashing, one or more cartridges are low on ink. When
the
H ink light stays on, you need to replace the cartridge(s).
You can also check the ink cartridge status using your printer software. See your
online Epson Information Center for more information.
Note:
The WorkForce 30 Series requires two black ink cartridges. If you install different sizes
of black ink cartridges (one high capacity and one standard capacity) in the printer at the
same time, the black ink level indicators in the printer software may show one black
cartridge being used more quickly than the other. This is normal. Please note that the
ink level indicators in the printer software are estimates only.
Caution:
You cannot print if one or more cartridges are expended. Leave the expended
cartridge(s) installed until you have obtained a replacement, or the ink remaining in the
print head nozzles may dry out.
A window may appear on your screen if you try to print when ink is low. On a
computer that is connected to the Internet, you may see a screen asking if you
want to receive ink offers and other updates from Epson. Click
Accept or Decline
to continue.
Note:
To disable checking for ink offers or updates from Epson, see the instructions in your
online Epson Information Center.
