Before using this product, make sure you read these instructions and the safety instructions in the online User's 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.

Remove all protective materials from the product.
Lift up the scanner unit. Remove all protective materials from inside the product.

The printer ships with the transportation lock in the printing position. Do not move it from the printing position.
Lower the scanner unit.

Fill ink tanks

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

This product requires careful handling of ink. 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.

Note:

Use only the Epson 582 ink provided to you under the ReadyPrint program. Use the ink bottles included with the printer to set up the product.
The included ink bottles are designed for reliable printer setup and cannot be resold.

Open the ink tank cover, then open the cap for the black ink tank.
Unpack the black (BK) ink bottle. Hold the ink bottle upright and slowly turn the bottle cap to remove it.

Do not shake or squeeze the ink bottles. Do not touch the top of the ink bottle after its cap is removed.
Insert the ink bottle into the filling port.
Note: Refer to the color-coded sticker on the ink tank unit to identify the color of each tank. Do not force the bottle into position; each bottle is keyed for each color.
Wait for the ink to fill the tank. Do not squeeze the bottle.

Note: If ink does not flow from the bottle, lift and reinsert the bottle.
When the ink bottle is empty, remove the ink bottle and replace the bottle cap.

Note: Do not leave the ink bottle inserted; otherwise the bottle may be damaged or ink may leak.
Close the black ink tank cap.
Repeat the previous steps for the other colors.

After setup, periodically inspect the ink level to ensure it is not below the lowest line on the tank. Prolonged use when ink is below the lowest line could damage the product. See the online User's Guide for refilling instructions.
Close the ink tank cover.
Connect the power cord to the back of the product and to an electrical outlet.

Do not connect to your computer yet.
Raise the control panel, then press the power button to turn on the product.

Note: If an error message appears, turn off the product and check that no protective material has been left inside the product and that the transportation lock is in the printing position.
Select your language, country, date, and time settings.
Note: You can change these settings later using the product's control panel. For more information, see the online User's Guide. Follow steps 12 and 13 to continue ink charging.
When the message to see the Start Here sheet appears on the LCD screen, press and hold OK for 5 seconds.
When the ink confirmation message appears on the LCD screen, select Proceed for each color, then press Start to start charging the ink. Ink charging takes approximately 9 minutes. A message appears when ink charging is complete. Press Close to proceed with initial setup.
Note: Part of the ink from the included bottles is used for printer setup. You will notice ink levels in the tanks decrease during charging.

Do not unplug or turn off the product, raise the scanner unit, or load paper while the product is charging or you'll waste ink.
To finish filling the ink tanks, repeat steps 1 through 8 using the additional set of ink bottles included with the product. If any ink remains in the bottles, close the bottles and store them for later use.
Note: Replace the bottle cap before disposing of the bottles.
Select Settings > Maintenance > Fill Ink and follow the on-screen instructions to reset the ink levels.
