How to Replace an Epson CX7400 Ink Cartridge

1. Turn on the Epson Stylus CX7400 Series printer if it is not already on. The red, drop-shaped ink-indicator light on the control panel should be lit, informing you that one or more ink cartridges need to be replaced before you can print.
2. Lift up the scanner portion of the printer, revealing the ink cartridge shuttle underneath. Press the 'Stop' button on the control panel. The shuttle will move so that the empty cartridge lines up with the symbol of a drop with a line through it to make it obvious which cartridge needs to be replaced.
3. Press the 'Stop' button again to see if other cartridges need replacement as well; if they do, the shuttle will shift to indicate the next empty cartridge. Continue pressing the 'Stop' button until all cartridges that need replacement have been indicated and the shuttle has moved to the replacement position on the right side of the printer.
4. Open the cover on the ink cartridge shuttle, pulling it up and back to reveal the installed ink cartridges. Squeeze the tab on top of each cartridge that needs replacement, lifting the cartridges up after squeezing the tabs to remove them from the shuttle.
5. Shake each replacement ink cartridge four or five times while it's still in its package to ensure proper mixing of the ink. Open the package, removing the yellow tape from the ink cartridge. Avoid touching the green chip installed on the cartridge.
6. Slide each new cartridge into the ink cartridge shuttle. The color of the ink corresponds with the colored label for each cartridge slot. Press the cartridge down until you hear it click, which indicates that it has locked into the shuttle. Close the shuttle cover when all ink cartridges are installed.
7. Close the scanner, then press the 'Stop' button to finish the installation process. The CX7400 Series printer will begin charging the ink, a process that takes approximately two minutes. When the power light stops blinking and stays lit, the charging process is complete and the printer is ready for use.
