Epson ET-2500 - All-In-Ones Printer Quick Installation Guide

Unpack

Note: Do not open the ink bottles until you are ready to fill the ink tanks. The ink bottles are vacuum packed to maintain reliability.

1. Remove all protective materials from the product.
   
2. Lift up the scanner unit and remove all protective materials from inside the product.
   
   
   Do not touch the flat white cable or the ink tubes and their translucent cover.

Fill ink tanks

Note: This product requires careful handling of ink. Wear disposable gloves and place a sheet of paper under the ink tank unit when you fill or refill the ink tanks, as ink may splatter. If ink spills, wipe it off immediately with a damp towel to avoid permanent stains. If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.

Keep the ink bottles out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.

1. Open the ink tank unit cover, then remove the cap for the cyan ink tank and attach it to its holder.
   
2. Unpack the cyan ink bottle.
   
3. Snap the bottle tip off, then remove the bottle cap.
   Carefully remove the protective seal (avoid touching the ink underneath the seal), then close the bottle cap tightly.
   
   
   Be sure to close the bottle cap tightly, or ink may leak.
4. Fill the tank using all of the ink in the bottle.
   
   Note: Refer to the color coded sticker above the ink tank unit to identify the color of each tank.
   
   Be sure to fill each tank with the correct ink color.
5. Carefully seal the bottle using the reverse side of the bottle tip for proper disposal.
   
6. Replace the ink tank cap securely.
   
7. Repeat the previous steps for the remaining bottles.
   
8. Close the ink tank unit cover.
   
9. Connect the power cord to the back of the product and to an electrical outlet.
   
   
   Do not connect to your computer yet.
10. Raise the control panel and turn on the product. Wait for the power light to stop flashing.
    
    Note: If all the product lights are flashing, turn off the product and check that no protective material has been left inside the product.
    
    Do not lower the control panel without first squeezing the release bar underneath or you may damage the product.
11. Press the button for 3 seconds until the power light starts flashing, to begin charging the ink. Ink charging takes approximately 20 minutes. Ink charging is complete when the power light stops flashing.
    
    Note: The ink bottles included with the printer are designed for printer setup and not for resale. After some ink is used for charging, the rest is available for printing.
    
    Do not turn off the product or load paper while the product is charging or you'll waste ink.
