Replacing an Ink Cartridge
If print quality has declined and three attempts to clean the
print heads did not improve the quality, replace one or both
ink cartridges. You can check print quality by doing a printer
self test as described in Chapter 1.
Use these EPSON ink cartridges or cartridges manufactured to
EPSON’s specifications only:
Black ink cartridge S020034
Color ink cartridge S020036
When you need new ink cartridges, contact your dealer or call
EPSON Accessories at (800) 873-7766.

Caution:
The printer will be damaged if you use ink or cartridges
not manufactured by EPSON or which do not meet
EPSON’s specifications. Do not attempt to refill ink
cartridges manually. If you use substandard products
with your EPSON printer, you will damage the print
heads and void your warranty.
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.
Any paper in the paper path is ejected automatically when you
replace the cartridge.
1. Make sure the printer is on.
2. Open the printer cover.
3. Press the Pause button (check that the Pause light comes on).
4. Hold down the Alt button for about five seconds until the
print head moves slightly left to the ink cartridge install
position. The Pause light begins blinking.
