Making the Media Type setting
The Media Type setting determines what other settings are 
available, so you should always make this setting first.
On the Main menu, select a Media Type setting that matches the 
media that is loaded in the printer.
Replacing Ink Cartridges
Replacing an Empty Ink Cartridge
The Status Monitor 3 utility lets you monitor the remaining ink 
levels from your computer and view on-screen instructions for 
replacing an empty or nearly empty ink cartridge.
When an ink cartridge is empty or nearly empty, click the How to 
button in the Status Monitor window to move the print head to 
the ink cartridge replacement position. Follow the on-screen 
instructions to replace the cartridge.
Note:
If you need to replace an ink cartridge before it is empty, access the Ink 
Cartridge Replacement utility from the Utilities menu in your EPSON 
printer driver.
Maintenance
Checking the Print Head Nozzles
If you find that the printed image is unexpectedly faint or dots in 
the printed image are missing, you may be able to identify the 
problem by checking the print head nozzles.
