colors have to be installed for printing. For print quality, part of the ink from the included cartridges is used for printer startup and a variable amount of ink remains in the cartridges after the
“replace cartridge” signal. For details, see www.epson.com/inkinfo | 10 For convenient and reasonable recycling options, visit www.epson.com/recycle | 11 SmartWay is an innovative
