Maintenance Box Handling Precautions
Read the following instructions before replacing the maintenance box.
❏ Do not touch the green chip on the side of the maintenance box. Doing so may prevent normal operation and
printing.
❏ Do not remove the film on the top of the box; otherwise ink may leak.
❏ Do not tilt the used maintenance box until after it is sealed in the plastic bag; otherwise ink may leak.
❏ Keep the maintenance box out of direct sunlight.
❏ Do not replace the maintenance box during printing; otherwise, ink may leak.
❏ Do not reuse a maintenance box which has been removed and left detached for a long period. Ink inside the box
will have solidified and no more ink can be absorbed.
Replacing a Maintenance Box
In some print cycles a very small amount of surplus ink may be collected in the maintenance box. To prevent ink
leakage from the maintenance box, the printer is designed to stop printing when the absorbing capacity of the
maintenance box has reached its limit. Whether and how often this is required will vary according to the number
of pages you print, the type of material that you print and the number of cleaning cycles that the printer performs.
Replace the maintenance box when you are promoted to do so. The Epson Status Monitor, your LCD, or lights on
the control panel will advise you when this part needs replacing. The need for replacement of the box does not
mean that your printer has ceased to operate in accordance with its specifications. The Epson warranty does not
cover the cost of this replacement. It is a user-serviceable part.
Note:
When it is full, you cannot print until the maintenance box is replaced to avoid ink leakage. However, you can perform
operations such as sending faxes and saving data to an external USB device.
1. Remove the new maintenance box from its package.
c Important:
❏ Do not touch the green chip on the side of the maintenance box. Doing so may prevent normal operation
and printing.
❏ Do not remove the film on the top of the box; otherwise ink may leak.
Note:
A transparent bag for the used maintenance box is provided with the new maintenance box.
