Installing/Replacing the Ink Cartridge
CAUTION:
When the ink cartridge is installed for the first time, be sure to install the
roll paper before installing the ink cartridge. For details on how to install
the label paper roll, see "Installing Paper" on page 11.
Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson ink cartridges. The use of
non-genuine ink may cause damage that is not covered by Epson's
warranties, and under certain circumstances, may cause erratic
product behavior.
Do not open the ink cartridge package until you are ready to install it in
the printer.
Do not remove the ink cartridge from the printer when you ship it.

When the ink cartridge is installed for the first time, the printer
takes approximately 8 minutes for ink charging. The Power LED
flashes during ink charging. Do not turn off the printer or open the
roll paper cover or the ink cartridge cover. When ink charging
finishes, the Power LED stays on after flashing.
Note:
When the ink cartridge is installed for the first time, the printer uses ink to
prepare for printing (ink charging).
Cartridge yields vary based on such factors as type of item printed, print
settings, paper type, frequency of use, and temperature.
To insure print quality, some ink remains in the cartridge after the Ink LED
comes on.
