Purchasing Ink Cartridges Purchase these genuine Epson cartridges: Ink color Photo Black Matte Black Cyan Magenta Yellow Red Orange Gloss Optimizer Part number 87 87 87 87 87 87 87 87 Part number on software screens T0871 T0878 T0872 T0873 T0874 T0877 T0879 T0870 Leave your old cartridges in the printer until you are ready to replace them to prevent the print head nozzles from drying out. Note: We recommend that you use genuine Epson cartridges and do not refill them. The use of other products may affect your print quality and could result in printer damage. Yields vary considerably based on images printed, print settings, paper type, frequency of use, and temperature. For print quality, a variable amount of ink remains in the cartridge after the "replace cartridge" indicator comes on. The printer ships with full cartridges and part of the ink from this first set of cartridges is used for priming the printer. For best printing results, use up a cartridge within six months of opening the package. Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. If you bring them inside from out in the cold, allow them to warm up to room temperature for at least 3 hours before using them. Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges Be sure you have your replacement cartridges handy before you begin. You must install new cartridges immediately after removing the old ones. Caution: Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges are vacuum packed to maintain reliability. Remove the CD/DVD tray and close the CD/DVD tray guide cover before replacing ink cartridges. 1. Turn on the printer. 2. Open the printer cover. 3. Press the H ink button to move the print head to the ink replacement position. If a cartridge is low or expended, the light above the cartridge flashes or stays on. Caution: Don't move the print head by hand or touch the flat white cable behind the print head to avoid damaging your printer. 4. Open the cartridge cover. 5. Squeeze the tab on the cartridge and lift the cartridge straight up to remove it. Dispose of it carefully. Do not take the used cartridge apart or try to refill it. WARNING: If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. 11/07 Epson Stylus Photo R1900 Series - 13
