Replacing an Ink Cartridge
When one of the
Ink Out
lights is flashing (and
INK LOW
is
displayed on the control panel), the corresponding cartridge is
almost out of ink. Make sure you have a replacement
cartridge. When the light stays on and
INK OUT
is displayed,
the cartridge is empty. You must replace the cartridge before
you can continue printing.
Caution:
For best results, use genuine EPSON cartridges and do not refill
them. Damage to your printer attributable to the use of other
consumables is not covered by EPSON’s warranty. Color accuracy
may vary considerably if you use non-EPSON inks.
Use only the following 110 ml EPSON ink cartridges:
EPSON Stylus Pro 7000 graphic arts (dye-based)
ink
EPSON Stylus Pro 7500 Archival (pigment) ink
Before you start, make sure the printer is turned on. Then
follow these steps to replace an ink cartridge:
1. Note the color of the
Ink Out
light that is on or flashing.
This is the cartridge that you need to replace.
2. Open the ink compartment cover.
3. Locate the slot containing the empty ink cartridge
(corresponding to the
Ink Out
light). Carefully pull the
empty cartridge straight out of the printer.
4. Make sure the replacement cartridge is the correct color,
and remove it from its package.
