Chapter 4 Handling Handling This chapter describes basic handling of the printer. Replacing the Ink Cartridge Printing is not possible if any of the four color inks needs replacement. When the Replace Ink LED lights, the ink cartridge needs to be replaced. Follow the steps below to replace the ink cartridge. Do not touch the inside of the ink cartridge slot. Doing so may cause ink adhesion or printer malfunction. Use only the ink cartridge specified by Seiko Epson, SJIC25P. Operation with another ink cartridge is not guaranteed. Do not touch the green circuit board at the side of the ink cartridge. Doing so may affect the normal operation of the ink cartridge.
Green circuit board 4 When the time to replace the ink cartridge has come, the ink cartridge is automatically ejected. An ink cartridge has 4 different colors. Even when one specific color is specified for printing, ink of all colors is spent in printing and operations to maintain the print head in a good condition. If remaining ink of any of the ink cartridge reaches its lower limit amount, the printer stops printing. Since ink cartridges are designed to stop the operation before ink runs out completely to maintain the quality of the print head, some ink remains in the used ink cartridge. The used cartridge has a red line drawn through its label on the top. 57
