Epson Stylus Photo R1900 Series 6. Before opening the cartridge package, shake the package four or five times. Note: All the ink cartridges, except the gloss optimizer cartridge, make a clicking sound when you shake them. 10. Once you replace all the necessary cartridges, close the cartridge cover and push it down until it clicks into place. Caution: Do not shake the cartridges after opening the packages or ink will leak. 7. Remove the cartridge from the package, but be careful not to touch the green chip on the cartridge. 8. Remove the yellow tape from the bottom of the cartridge. 11. Close the printer cover. 12. Press the H ink button to begin charging the ink. This takes about 2 ½ minutes. The P power light flashes as the ink charges. Caution: Do not remove any other labels or seals, or ink will leak. 9. Insert the new cartridge into the holder and push it down until it clicks into place. When the P power light stops flashing and the H ink light goes out, ink charging is finished. Caution: Never turn off the printer while ink is charging or you'll waste ink. If the H ink light is flashing, press the H ink button, then press down all the cartridges securely. If you remove a low or expended ink cartridge, you cannot reinstall and use the cartridge. Cleaning the Print Head If your printouts become too light, or you see dark or light bands across them, you may need to clean the print head nozzles. Cleaning uses ink, so clean the nozzles only if print quality declines. You can check for clogged nozzles before you clean them so you don't clean them unnecessarily. It's best to run the automatic nozzle check and cleaning utility first to let the printer check and clean the nozzles, if necessary. If you still notice quality problems, you can check and clean the nozzles manually. Note: You cannot clean the print head if an ink cartridge is low or expended. You must replace the cartridge first. 14 - Epson Stylus Photo R1900 Series 11/07
