Note: Try the High Capacity 77 cartridges available at http://www.epson.com/highcapacity (U.S. sales) or http://www.epson.ca (Canadian sales), or the 77 color multipack at your local reseller. You may use any combination of cartridge sizes. (If you've installed a 78 black cartridge, you can still use a 77 magenta cartridge, for example.) 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. For best printing results, use up a cartridge within six months of opening the package. Cartridge yields vary considerably based on images printed, print settings, paper type, frequency of use, and temperature. For print quality, a small 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 the first cartridges is used for priming the printer. Replacing Ink Cartridges Make sure you have a new ink cartridge 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. 1. Make sure the CD/DVD tray is not inserted in the printer, and make sure the front tray is in the paper (lower) position. 2. Make sure the printer is on and the P power light is on but not flashing. 3. Open the printer cover. 4. Press and release the H ink button. The P power light begins to flash and the print head moves to the _ position to indicate which cartridge is low or expended. Note: If an ink cartridge is low, you may continue to use it until it is expended. To confirm the status of each ink cartridge, see your on-screen User's Guide. 18 Maintaining Your Printer
