Installing or Replacing an Ink Cartridge
CAUTION:
Usage:
Do not disassemble the cartridge. The ink can permanently stain
clothing.
Do not refill ink cartridges. Spills can result, causing damage to the
printer.
Do not remove the cartridge except to replace it or to prepare the
printer for shipment. Otherwise, ink may be wasted and the life of the ink
cartridge may be reduced.
For good printing quality, do not remove the ink cartridge from its
packing until immediately before installing it.
Use up the ink cartridge within 6 months after unpacking it.
The expiration date is indicated on the cartridge box or the ink cartridge
itself.
Print quality problems may occur if an ink cartridge that is almost empty
(the INK OUT LED flashes) is removed and reinstalled.
A used cartridge may have some ink on the convex part of the bottom
of the cartridge. Avoid touching that part to keep your hands clean.
Do not puncture the convex part of the bottom of the ink cartridge or
remove the transparent film on the bottom of the ink cartridge;
otherwise the ink might leak.
Once the ink cartridge is used, the ink supply needle (plastic projection)
in the ink cartridge holder that supplies ink to the printer is covered with
ink. Avoid touching the cartridge holder to keep your hands clean.
Use Seiko Epson specified ink cartridges. Performance of the printer
when other ink cartridges are used is not guaranteed.
Do not open or close the ink cartridge cover during printing.
Misalignment of the print position will occur.
Storage:
Keep the ink cartridge out of the reach of children. Do not drink the ink.
Do not store the ink cartridge where it will be subject to high
temperatures or freezing.
When the INK OUT LED flashes, it is almost time to change the ink
cartridge. Change the cartridge as soon as it is convenient. When
the INK OUT LED is on, printing stops and you must change the
cartridge.
The TM-J7100 has two separate cartridges, one each for black and
colored ink (either red, green, or blue). Therefore, the TM-J7100 has
two INK OUT LEDs, one for the black and one for the color.
