Always handle sheets by the edges, and don't touch the printable surface. Replacing an Ink Cartridge When the b maintenance and P power lights are both flashing, one of your ink cartridges is low on ink. This is a good time to make sure you have a new cartridge. When both lights stay on, a cartridge is empty and you need to replace it. When an installed ink cartridge is more than six months old, you may also need to replace it if you notice that your printouts don't look as good as they used to. If print quality doesn't improve after cleaning and aligning the print head, you can replace the cartridge even if the b maintenance and P power lights aren't flashing. To check the level of ink you have left, see the graphic in the printer driver (Windows) or click the ink level icon in the printer driver or EPSON Monitor 3 utility (Macintosh). You can also check the flash pattern of the control panel lights to determine which cartridge is low or empty. Press the ink cartridge replacement button. If the P power and b maintenance lights flash at the same speed, replace the black cartridge. If the b maintenance light flashes twice as fast as the P power light, replace the color cartridge. You cannot print if either ink cartridge is empty. Leave the empty cartridge installed in the printer until you have obtained a replacement. Otherwise the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out. Use these EPSON ink cartridges within six months of installing them and before the expiration date on the package: t Black ink cartridge: T007201 t Color ink cartridge: T009201 To ensure good results, use genuine EPSON ink cartridges and do not refill them. Other products may cause damage to your printer not covered by EPSON's warranty.
