Fill ink tanks

Keep the ink bottles out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.

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.
   
   Note: Refer to the color-coded sticker on the ink tank unit to identify the color of each tank.
2. Unpack the black (BK) ink bottle. Hold the ink bottle upright and slowly turn the bottle cap to remove it.
   
   
   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.
   
   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.
   
   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.
   
   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.
   
8. Close the ink tank cover.
   
9. Raise the control panel, then press the power button to turn on the product. The power light flashes.
   
   Note: If an error code appears, turn off the product and check that no protective material has been left inside the product.
10. Select your language, country, date, and time settings.
    Note: You can change these settings later using the product's control panel.
11. When an Epson Smart Panel setup message appears on the LCD screen, select the option to continue setup.
12. When the message to see the Start Here sheet appears on the LCD screen, press and hold the help button for 5 seconds.
    
13. Press the start button to start ink charging. Ink charging takes about 11 minutes.
    Note: When the power light stops flashing, ink charging is complete. Once initial setup of the printer is complete, you can top off the ink tanks with any remaining ink.
    
    Do not unplug or turn off the product, or open the inner cover while the product is charging or you'll waste ink.
    
    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.

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.

Load paper

1. Make sure the product is done charging the ink. Then raise the paper support and tilt it backwards slightly.
   
2. Slide the edge guides all the way out.
   
3. Load paper, glossy or printable side up and short edge first, in the middle of the rear paper feeder.
   
   Note: Do not load paper above the line under the symbol on the edge guide.
4. Slide the edge guides against the paper, but not too tightly.
   
5. Open the front cover.
   
6. Pull out the output tray and raise the paper stopper.
   
7. Select the paper settings on the product's control panel.
