- 1). Raise the Epson printer cover while the power is turned on, then wait for the carriage to stop sliding back and forth.
- 2). Remove all printing cartridges by squeezing the tabs on the short ends of each cartridge and lifting straight out.
- 3). Turn off the printer and wait for it to shut down completely.
- 4). Unplug the printer from the power source and wait at least five minutes for the printer memory to reset.
