Always handle sheets by the edges, and don't touch the printable surface. Replacing an Ink Cartridge 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. 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 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 print quality doesn't improve after cleaning and aligning the print head, you can replace one or both cartridges. Use these EPSON ink cartridges within six months of installing them and before the expiration date on the package: t Black ink cartridge: S020187 t Color ink cartridge: S020191 When you need new ink cartridges, contact your dealer or call EPSON Accessories at (800) 873-7766 or visit our web site at www.epsonsupplies.com (U.S. sales only). In Canada, please call (800) 873-7766 for dealer referral. If you need to replace an ink cartridge before the lights flash (because the ink is too old, for example), follow the instructions in "Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge" on page 7. Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges You can replace a cartridge when the B black or A color ink out light is either flashing or on. (If you perform these steps when both ink out lights are off, the printer cleans the print heads as described on page 8.) Be sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. Once you start the ink cartridge replacement procedure, you must complete all the steps in one session. Follow these steps to replace ink cartridges: 1. Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing (the P power light should be on, but not flashing), then open the printer cover. To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print head by hand. Don't open the clamp or remove a cartridge except to replace it with a new one. Once you remove a cartridge, you can't reuse it, even if it contains ink. 6 - EPSON Stylus COLOR 670 2/00
