L-6534VW Operation Guide Mixing and Replacing Ink Cartridges ❏ Use up the ink cartridge within six months of installation for best results. ❏ If an ink cartridge is installed when it is out of shape, a replacement alert may be generated before the ink runs out. In this case, press the sides of the ink cartridge to correct the shape, and then reinstall. ❏ Even while nothing is being printed, the press uses ink from all cartridges during head cleaning and other maintenance operations to keep the print head in good condition. ❏ To maintain the quality of the head, this product stops printing before ink cartridges are completely expended; therefore, some ink is left in used cartridges.
❏ If an ink cartridge is installed for one month or more, remove and shake the cartridge once a month. Print quality might decrease due to sedimentation in the ink. See the following for information on how to shake the ink cartridges. U “Stirring Ink by Shaking the Ink Cartridge” on page 233 When ink cartridges are removed, do not leave them in locations subject to direct sunlight or light. Always place the cartridge in a box and seal it before storing. ❏ When an ink cartridge is expended, replace it with a new cartridge as soon as possible. ❏ When ink cartridges cases are removed, do not leave them in locations subject to direct sunlight or light.
❏ Replace ink cartridges when the press is on. If cartridges are replaced when the press is shutdown, the product cannot detect the amount of ink remaining and so cannot print normally. ❏ If you do not have a new ink cartridge ready for installation when the old cartridge is expended, leave the expended cartridge installed in the press until the new cartridge is ready. If the press is left without the ink cartridge, the press may breakdown. ❏ Do not leave the press without ink cartridges installed for 10 minutes or more. The inks inside the press may harden and you may not be able to print. ❏ To ensure optimum press performance, we recommend using genuine Epson ink cartridges.
Using non-genuine products may have an adverse affect on the press or print quality, and prevent you from getting the optimum performance from your press. We can only guarantee the quality and reliability of genuine products. Any damage or malfunctions caused by the use of non-genuine products is not covered by the terms of the guarantee and will require a repair fee even within the warranty period. ❏ Shake the white ink cartridge when you startup the press. Print quality might decrease due to sedimentation in the ink.
