Noise After Filling the Ink
If you hear noises from your product after filling the ink tanks with ink, check these explanations:
• The first time you fill the tanks with ink, the product must charge its print head. Wait until charging
finishes before you turn off the product, or it may charge improperly and use excess ink the next time
you turn it on. Your product is finished charging the print head when the
power light stops flashing.
• If the product's print head stops moving or making noise, and the charging process has not finished
after approximately 20 minutes, turn off your product. Turn it back on and check to see if charging is
still in progress. If it is still in progress, contact Epson for help.
