any level is below the lowest line could damage the product. See the
online User’s Guide for relling instructions.
IMPORTANT: Before using this product, make sure you read
these instructions and the safety instructions in the online User’s
Guide.

3Fill 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 o immediately with a damp towel to avoid permanent stains.
If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come o.
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
will 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.
Note: Refer to the
color-coded sticker
on the ink tank unit 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.
3 Insert the ink bottle into the lling port.
Note: Do not force the bottle into position; each bottle is keyed
for each color.
4 Wait for the ink to ll the tank.
Do not squeeze the bottle or
allow it to contact any other
surface.
Note: Ink ows into the tank and
stops automatically when the ink
tank is lled to the upper line. If ink
does not ow 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. If any ink remains in
the bottle, store the bottle upright for later use.
Note: Do not leave the ink bottle inserted; otherwise the bottle
may be damaged or ink may leak.
