3 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 printhead. 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.

1. Open the ink tank cover, then open the cap for the black (BK) ink tank.
   [Illustration showing the ink tank cover open and the cap for the black ink tank removed.]
2. Unpack the black (BK) ink bottle. Hold the ink bottle upright and slowly turn the bottle cap to remove it.
   [Diagram showing how to hold an ink bottle upright and remove its cap.]

Caution: Do not shake or squeeze the ink bottles. Do not touch the top of the ink bottle after its cap is removed.

3. Insert the ink bottle into the filling port, as shown below.
   [Diagram showing an ink bottle being inserted into the ink tank filling port.]

Note: Do not force the bottle into position; each bottle is keyed for each color.

4. Wait for the ink to fill the tank. Do not squeeze the bottle or allow it to contact any other surface.
   [Illustration showing ink flowing from the bottle into the ink tank.]

Note: Ink flows into the tank and stops automatically when the ink tank is filled to the upper line. If ink does not flow from the bottle, lift and reinsert the bottle.

5. When the ink tank is full, remove the ink bottle and securely close it with the bottle cap. Place the remaining ink aside; you will need it later.
   [Diagram showing an ink bottle removed from the tank and its cap being closed.]

Note: Do not leave the ink bottle inserted; otherwise the bottle may be damaged or ink may leak. If any ink remains in the bottle, store the bottle upright and top off the ink tank after completing initial setup.

6. Securely close the black ink tank cap.
7. Repeat the previous steps for the other colors.
   [Illustration showing the Black, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow ink bottles.]

Note: After some ink is used for charging, the rest is available for printing.

14. Press the OK button to proceed with initial setup.
15. Follow the on-screen instructions to adjust the print quality of your product.

Note:

• You need to load paper before you can adjust the print quality. See "Load paper" on this sheet for details.
• Select Adjust Later if you want to adjust the print quality later. For more information, see the online User's Guide.

Caution: After setup, periodically inspect the ink levels to ensure they do not fall below the lowest lines on the tanks. Prolonged use when any ink level is below the lowest line could damage the product. See the online User's Guide for refilling instructions.
