Epson Stylus CX5000 Series

Caution:
Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the
ink. Cartridges are vacuum packed to maintain reliability.
Install a new ink cartridge immediately after removing an expended
one. Leaving cartridges uninstalled can dehydrate the print head
and may prevent the CX5000 Series from printing.
Leave the expended cartridge installed until you have obtained a
replacement, or the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry
out. To ensure good results, use genuine Epson ink cartridges and
do not refill them. Other products may cause damage to your
CX5000 Series not covered by Epson’s warranty.
If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply
area from dirt and dust and store it in the same environment as the
CX5000 Series. Note that there is a valve in the ink supply port,
making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent
the ink from staining items that the cartridge touches. Do not touch
the ink cartridge ink supply port or surrounding area.
If you remove a low or expended ink cartridge, you cannot reinstall
and use the cartridge.
