of media, be sure to remove the protective sheets before

Replacing an Ink Cartridge
When a 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. You cannot print if either
ink cartridge is empty.
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.
Use these EPSON ink cartridges within six months of
installing them and before the expiration date on the package:
Black ink cartridge: S020187
Color ink cartridge: S020191

Note:
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an Outdated Ink Cartridge" on page 9.

Removing an Empty Ink Cartridge
Note:
If you press the R cleaning button when neither ink out light is
flashing or on, the printer cleans the print head (see "Cleaning the
Print Head").
You can replace a cartridge when the B black or A color ink
out light is either flashing or on. Follow these steps:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing.
2. Lower the output tray and raise the printer cover.
Caution:
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.
3. Press the R cleaning button and hold it for three seconds.
The print head moves slightly to the left and the P power
light begins flashing.
4. Pull up the ink cartridge clamp. The cartridge rises up from
its holder.
Warning:
If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with
soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them
immediately with water.
5. Lift the cartridge out of the printer and dispose of it
carefully.
6. Follow the steps in the next section to install the new ink
cartridge.
