Note:
❏
The first ink charging is conducted automatically when the first ink cartridge is installed (when the
printer is turned on). Do not turn the printer power off during the charging. If the power is turned
off, the ink charging will be subsequently repeated, causing a remarkable reduction in ink cartridge
printing life. This operation takes approximately two minutes. The POWER LED blinks during the
ink charging and stays on as soon as the charging is complete.
❏
Do not remove the ink cartridge unless it is being replaced. A cleaning operation is conducted each
time the ink cartridge is removed, causing a reduction in the ink cartridge printing life.
❏
Press the CLEANING button to clean the head only if printing problems are being experienced. The
cleaning operation causes a reduction in the ink cartridge printing life.
❏
Do not turn off the power switch or open the printer cover while the POWER LED is blinking; head
cleaning or the ink charging is being conducted.
❏
Replace the ink cartridge while the printer is turned on. If the power is off during replacement,
defective printing may occur because the ink cartridge replacement is not correctly detected.
❏
Use the EPSON SJIC1 ink cartridge. The use of any other cartridge may cause damage to the printer.
