Checking the Ink Cartridge Status
Using the printer buttons
For information on using the printer buttons, see the booklet.
For Windows
Note:|
Epson cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-genuine ink. If non-genuine ink cartridges are installed, the ink cartridge status may not be displayed.
When an ink cartridge is running low, the Low Ink Reminder screen automatically appears. You can also check the ink cartridge status from this screen. If you do not want to display this screen, first access the printer driver and then click the Maintenance tab, and then Monitoring Preferences. On the Monitoring Preferences screen, clear the See Low Ink Reminder alerts check box.
If an ink cartridge is running low, prepare a new ink cartridge.

Open the printer driver, click the Maintenance tab, then click the EPSON Status Monitor 3 button. A graphic displays the ink cartridge status.
Note:|
When printing in monochrome or grayscale, color inks instead of black ink may be used depending on the paper type or print quality settings. This is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.
If EPSON Status Monitor 3 does not appear, access the printer driver and click the Maintenance tab and then the Extended Settings button. In the Extended Settings window, check the Enable EPSON Status Monitor 3 check box.
Depending on current settings, the simplified status monitor may be displayed. Click the Details button to display the window above.
The ink levels displayed are an approximate indication.
