Replacing the Maintenance Tank
The maintenance tank stores ink that gets flushed from the system during
manual and automatic print head cleaning. When the tank is almost full, the
message
MNT TK NEAR FULL appears on the LCD panel. When the tank is
completely full, the printer stops working and MNT TNK FULL appears on
the LCD.
You can check how much space remains in the maintenance tank by viewing
its indicator on the control panel, shown below. You can also check its status
using the SelecType menu (see page 103) or by printing a nozzle check sheet
(see page 102).
Replacement tanks are available from Epson (part number C12C890191).
Follow these steps to replace the tank:
1. Make sure the printer is not printing or performing any other operations
( READY or PAPER OUT should appear on the control panel).
2. If you are using 220 ml ink cartridges, remove the four cartridges from
the right ink compartment, then close the compartment cover.
