Epson Stylus Photo 1400 Replacing an Ink Cartridge ❏ When the red H ink light flashes, one or more ink cartridges are low on ink. ❏ When the red H ink light stays on, you need to replace one or more cartridges. You'll also see a message on your screen when you print telling you which cartridge is low or expended. When a cartridge is more than six months old, you may need to replace it if printouts don't look their best. If the quality doesn't improve after cleaning and aligning the print head, you can replace the cartridge even if the red H ink light is off. Checking the Ink Status To check your ink status, do the following: ❏ Windows: Double-click the printer icon on your taskbar (in the lower right corner of your screen).

Ink Cartridge Precautions Warning: Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink. Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges; there may be ink remaining around the ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water. Caution: After bringing an ink cartridge inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least three hours before using it. Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the package. For best results, use up the ink cartridges within six months of first installing them. Do not dismantle ink cartridges or try to refill them. This could damage the print head. Note: You cannot continue printing with one ink cartridge expended, even if the other cartridges still contain ink. Before printing, replace the expended cartridge. The IC chip on these ink cartridges retains a variety of cartridge related-information, such as the ink cartridge status, so that the cartridge may be removed and reinserted freely. However, each time the cartridge is inserted, some ink is consumed because the printer automatically performs a reliability check. If you remove a cartridge that is low (for which you have received an "Ink low" message), you cannot reuse it. 1/07 Epson Stylus Photo 1400 - 11
