Hi
You do not say which operating system you are using.
You
do not say if you are using original Epson branded or compatible generic brand
cartridges.
You
do not say if the printer is new and if this is your first cardtridge change,
or not.
Sometimes
the cartidges that come with the printer are low volume, starter cartridges.
The 2 types of cartridges have slightly different codes to distinguish them.
Some
people prefer generic brand, compatible cartridges, which are generally cheaper
but can be of inferior quality and some can contain inferior quality ink.
Others prefer original Epson branded cartridges, which can be more expensive.
Some
Epson printers can take both economy volume and high volume cartridges.
In Windows operating systems, generally:
Start > (Control Panel) > Printer(s) > right click on Epson
PX700W icon > Printing Preferences > Maintenance > Ink Cartridge
Replacement > follow on screen instructions > head cleaning >print
test page.
or
Print a document > Print Dialog Box > click "How To..." >
Maintenance > Ink Cartridge Replacement > follow on screen
instructions> head cleaning >print test page.

Remvoe the ink cartridges after using the maintenance keys to bring in the ink cartirdges to the middle to be removed. replace and take a test print. If errors are present then try a resetting.
Remove your printer from the PC and uninstall the printer software. Now reinstall the printer software and connect the Printer to be detected and installed. Check printer properties to see the ink levels.
Use head cleaning before a test is taken . It is possible that the head is not reacting to the need of the command , can be an issue with ink drying , can also be poor ink cartridge contacts
