Replacing Ink Cartridges
The printer’s
Ink Out
O
(black) and
Ink Out
NNN
(color)
lights tell you when your ink cartridges are low on ink and
when you need to replace them. If one of these lights flashes,
the indicated cartridge is low on ink; if it remains on, you
need to replace the cartridge.
c
Caution:
❏ Do not replace an ink cartridge unless its
Ink Out
light
tells you to. If you replace a cartridge before its light
flashes, the sensor that tells you when ink is out will not
work properly with the new cartridge.
❏ Leave the old cartridge installed in the printer until you are
ready to replace it with a new one. Attempting to print
without a cartridge installed can damage the printer.
❏ If you replace a cartridge when the
Data
light is on, you
must turn off your printer and then turn it back on. This
erases the data received by the printer and you must resend
your print job.
Once you install the ink cartridges, do not open the clamps or
remove the cartridges except to replace them with new ones.
Once you remove a cartridge, you cannot reuse it.
When the color ink cartridge is empty, you can continue
printing with the black ink cartridge by switching to
monochrome mode. To do this, turn off the printer, then turn
it back on and resend your print job. If the black ink cartridge
is empty, you cannot continue printing, even if the color
cartridge still contains ink.
Selecting the Correct Ink Cartridges
Use only these EPSON ink cartridges:
Black ink cartridge S020047
Color ink cartridge S020049
c
Caution:
Use only genuine EPSON ink cartridges and do not refill
them. Other products may cause damage to your printer that
is not covered by EPSON’s warranties.

2. Press the
Pause
button (the
Pause
light comes on).
3. Lower the output tray on the front of the printer and then
lift up the printer’s cover by the notches on its sides.
4. Hold down the

position. The

cartridges are not removed.)
5. Pull up the cartridge clamp to open it. The cartridge rises
partially out of the printer.
6. Lift the cartridge out of the printer and dispose of it
carefully so any excess ink does not spill out. Do not take
the used cartridge apart or try to refill it.
7. Open the package containing the ink cartridge and remove
the cartridge from its foil wrapper. Remove the tape seal
from the top of the cartridge.
c
Caution:
You must remove the tape seal from the top of the
cartridge; leaving the tape on will permanently damage it.
Do not remove the tape seal from the bottom of the
cartridge; ink will leak out.
8. Lower the ink cartridge into its holder with the label facing
up and the arrow pointing to the back of the printer.
9. Push down the ink cartridge clamp until it locks in place.
10.Press the
