Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge

If you need to replace an ink cartridge before you see a Status Monitor 3 message,
follow the steps here to use the Ink Cartridge Replacement utility. Before you
begin, make sure you’ve read the ink cartridge precautions on page 26.

1. Make sure the printer is plugged in but not printing.

2. Click

Start

, point to

Settings

, then select

Printers

.

3. Right-click the

EPSON

Stylus COLOR 480

icon and

click

Properties

from the

menu that appears. You see
this window:

4. Click the

Utility

tab, then

click the

Ink Cartridge

Replacement

button.

5. Follow the instructions on

the screen to replace the
ink cartridge.

6. After you’ve installed the

cartridge, the printer begins
charging ink for several
minutes. Wait until you see a
message telling you that charging is complete before resuming printing.

You can only access the Ink Cartridge Replacement utility from the
Windows Printers utility, as described in the steps below. You can’t run
the utility from within a Windows application.

Never unplug the printer while it’s charging ink.
