EPSON Stylus Scan 2000
Replacing an Ink Cartridge
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.
Use these EPSON ink cartridges within six months of
installing them and before the expiration date on the package:
Black ink cartridge: S020189
Color ink cartridge: S020191
Caution:
To ensure good results, use genuine EPSON cartridges and do not
refill them. Other products may cause damage to your printer not
covered by EPSON's warranty.
If you need to replace an ink cartridge before
(because the ink is too old, for example) follow the
instructions in "Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge" on
page 9.
