Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge Even if the red H ink out light isn't flashing or on, you may need to replace an ink cartridge if it's more than six months old and print quality declines. If print quality doesn't improve after cleaning and aligning the print heads, you can replace the cartridge(s) causing the problem. Note: Make sure you have the new ink cartridge(s) before you continue. Once you start the ink cartridge replacement procedure, you must complete all the steps in one session.

Load letter-size paper and print a nozzle check pattern to determine which cartridge needs to be replaced. 2.

If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. 8. Before you remove the new cartridge from its package, shake it four or five times. 10/02 EPSON Stylus C82 - 7
