Fill ink tanks
Warning: Keep the ink bottles out of the reach of children and do not
drink the ink.
Caution: This product requires careful handling of ink. If ink spills,
wipe it off immediately with a damp towel to avoid permanent stains.
If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.
Note:
• Epson cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of third-party ink.
• Use the ink bottles included with the printer to set up the product.
Part of the ink will be used to charge the print head. These bottles
may print fewer pages compared with replacement ink bottles.
• Epson strongly recommends the use of genuine ink to ensure
optimal print quality and performance.

open the cap for the black (BK) ink tank.
Note: Refer to the color-coded sticker to identify the color of
each tank.

upright and slowly turn the bottle cap to remove it.
Caution: Do not shake or squeeze the ink bottle. Do not touch
the top of the ink bottle after its cap is removed.

for each color.

securely close it with the bottle cap. If any ink remains in
the bottle, close the bottle and store it for later use.
