Refilling Ink and Replacing the Maintenance Box When the ink level is below the lowest line on the ink tank, you need to refill it. Periodically check the ink tank to see if it needs to be refilled. Before checking the ink level or refilling an ink tank as described here, be sure to read the ink safety precautions. Caution: If the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank, fill it to the upper line on the ink tank. Continued use of the product when the ink level is below the lower line on a tank could damage the product. Ink Safety Precautions Checking the Ink and Maintenance Box Levels Purchase Epson Ink and Maintenance Box Refilling the Ink Tank Maintenance Box Replacement Ink Safety Precautions Note: The product has a low ink alert system. The accuracy of this system depends on the user refilling the ink tank correctly. The product cannot directly measure the ink level in the tank; instead it estimates the amount of ink remaining by internally monitoring ink usage. The low ink alert system may generate inaccurate messages if the ink tank is not refilled according to these instructions. As a precaution, perform regular visual inspections of the ink tank to ensure the ink level does not fall below the lower line. Continued use of the product when the ink level is below the lower line on the tank could damage the product. Ink Handling Precautions Observe the following when handling the ink: • Keep ink bottles and the ink tank out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to drink from or handle the ink bottles and bottle caps. • Do not tilt or shake an ink bottle after removing its seal; otherwise, ink may leak. • Be careful not to touch any ink when you handle the ink tank, ink tank cap, and opened ink bottles or ink bottle caps. 132
