Maintenance Box Handling Precautions

Read the following instructions before replacing the maintenance box.

  • Epson recommends using the maintenance box before the date printed on the package.

  • After bringing a maintenance box inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least eight hours before using it.

  • Do not drop the maintenance box or subject it to strong shocks.

  • Do not touch the sections shown in the illustration. Doing so may prevent normal operation and you may get smeared with ink.

  • Do not tilt the used maintenance box until after it is sealed in the plastic bag; otherwise ink may leak.

  • Keep the maintenance box out of direct sunlight.

  • Do not store the maintenance box in high or freezing temperatures.

  • Do not reuse a maintenance box which has been removed and left detached for a long period. Ink inside the box will have solidified and no more ink can be absorbed.
