EPSON Stylus Color 880/880i 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 9.) 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 Ppower light should be on, but not flashing), then open the printer cover. 2. Press the A cleaning button and hold it for about three seconds until the print head moves left and the Ppower light begins flashing. 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. 3. Pull up the ink cartridge clamp. The cartridge rises up from its holder. (The illustration shows color ink cartridge replacement. To replace the black ink cartridge, lift up only the smaller clamp on the left.) 5. Unwrap the new ink cartridge. Then remove only the yellow part of the tape seal on top. black cartridge color cartridge You must remove the yellow tape from the top of the cartridge or you will permanently damage it. Don't try to remove the clear seal underneath the cartridge. 6. Tilt the new cartridge forward slightly as you lower it into its holder. Hang the tabs at the back of the cartridge on the hooks. Don't place the cartridges under the hooks; you may damage the clamp when you close it. 4. Lift the cartridge out of the printer and dispose of it carefully. 7. Press down the ink cartridge clamp until it locks in place, but don't press down on the cartridge itself. Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and don't drink the ink.

If you need to replace the other ink cartridge, repeat steps 3 through 7 before continuing with step 9. 8/00 EPSON Stylus Color 880/880i - 7
