Read This First
The ink for this printer must be handled carefully. Ink may splatter when the ink tanks are being filled or refilled with ink. If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.

Additional items may be included depending on the location.
The initial ink bottles will be partly used to charge the print head. These bottles may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink bottles.

Install Epson Smart Panel.
This will help you set up the printer even if you use the printer with a computer.

Epson Smart Panel
You can set up the printer while watching instructions on your smart device. By using the app, you can remotely control the printer on your smart device or perform more diverse printing through the app.
Follow these instructions if you selected “No” in section1- 3.

Make sure that the color of the ink tank matches the ink color that you want to fill.

• Remove the cap while keeping the ink bottle upright; otherwise ink may leak.
• Use the ink bottles that came with your printer.
• Epson cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-genuine ink. The use of non-genuine ink may cause damage that is not covered by Epson’s warranties.

Check the upper line in the ink tank.

Insert the ink bottle straight into the port to fill ink to the upper line.

• When you insert the ink bottle into the filling port for the correct color, ink starts pouring and the flow stops automatically when the ink reaches the upper line.
• If the ink does not start flowing into the tank, remove the ink bottle and reinsert it. However, do not remove and reinsert the ink bottle when the ink has reached the upper line; as doing so may cause ink to leak or damage the printer when the ink rises above the upper line.
• Ink may remain in the bottle. The remaining ink can be used later.
• Do not leave the ink bottle inserted; otherwise the bottle may be damaged or ink may leak.

When the ink reaches the upper line of the tank, pull out the bottle.

If any ink remains in the ink bottle, tighten the cap and store the bottle upright for later use.
