Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your EcoTank, start by powering on the device and following the screen prompts to initialize the ink system. Ensure the ink bottles are emptied fully into their respective tanks to prevent premature low-ink alerts. The printer is compatible with most modern Windows and macOS environments. For long-term care, keep the printer in a dust-free area and use the 'Head Cleaning' utility if you notice horizontal banding on your prints. Always use genuine Epson ink to ensure the longevity of the printhead, as using third-party ink may lead to clogging and void your manufacturer warranty.
