With the power on, open the front cover. The cartridges will move to the replacement position:

1) Push down lightly on the front of the cartridge and pull back and down, out of the slot
2) To replace, make sure you have removed the tape and other packaging materials from the new cartridge, then push in and then up, until the cartridge clicks into place in the slot
3) Close the front cover
4) Your printer may fiddle around for awhile preparing the new cartridge for use

I hope this helps!

How do you replace ink in EPSON TX110? BEWARE SPAM NUMBER +1-800-532-4187 BELOW

The procedure is shown on the panel you can see if you open the cartridge compartment of your TX110. However, it can take some effort to decipher the icons. It is known to work if the ink low light is on, untested otherwise.

  1. Turn on the printer.
  2. Press and hold the STOP button until the cartridge tray moves out of its bay. It will stop at the ink low notch pointing to the first cartridge out.
  3. Press STOP again. The cartridge tray will move to show you the next cartridge low on ink.
  4. Repeat until you know all cartridges out. After the last cartridge pointed to, the tray will move again and stop in the area where all cartridges can be accessed by hand.
That's it folks!

Cartridge problem

Basically, you placed a black ink cartridge [30] into the compartment for the color one [31]?

Make sure you have a black ink cartridge in the left compartment, and a color one in the right one. I don't even think it would properly fit if they were in the wrong slots. They should "click" into place, confirming that they're installed properly.
