Replacing an Ink Cartridge When the B black or A color ink out light flashes, the indicated cartridge is low on ink. This is a good time to make sure you have a new cartridge. When the light stays on, the 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 the print quality doesn't improve after cleaning and aligning the print head, you can replace one or both cartridges. 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 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: Region U.S. Canada Black ink cartridge T015201 T015311 Color ink cartridge T016201 T016311 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. When you need new ink cartridges, contact your dealer or call EPSON at (800) 873-7766 or visit the EPSON Store at www.epsonstore.com (U.S. sales only). In Canada, please call (800) 873-7766 for dealer referral. The printer's first ink cartridges will run out of ink sooner than the replacement cartridges. This is because the printer has to charge its ink delivery system when cartridges are installed the first time. To conserve ink, avoid cleaning the print head more often than necessary, and always turn the printer off using the power button (not from a power strip or external switch). 40
