Epson 1400 CIS Set Up Instructions
1) Confirm all nozzles print perfectly with Epson ink then remove cartridges from printer. If not all
nozzles print fully or correctly with Epson ink, cleaning will be needed to get the print head in good
working order before installing any third party ink. Please contact the Inkjetmall support department if
you have trouble getting a full nozzle check to print, we can assist you with cleaning procedures.
2) Fill bottles with ink. Keep the ink level between ½" from the top and 1" from the bottom of the bottle to
avoid ink flow problems. Make sure to put the correct color or Piezography shade ink into the correct
bottle when filling and refilling. Bottle tops indicate the color position and bottle labels indicate the
Piezography ink shade.
