Instructions

Things You'll Need:

2. Lift the lid of your Epson inkjet printer to expose the ink cartridge replacement button. Make sure you have plenty of light so you can see what you are doing.

3. Press the ink cartridge replacement button. This will loosen the empty ink cartridges so they can be pulled up and out.

4. Fill the empty cartridge at an ink-refilling location, or buy a new ink cartridge to replace the empty one.

5. Insert the new or refilled ink cartridge into the holder with the same orientation as the previous one.

6. Press the cartridge replacement button to charge the system and close the printer cover. Charging takes about one minute.
