What is true of this model and changes how you fix it

• Official specifications
  15.5 ppm black / 8.5 ppm color. 502 ink bottles rated 7,500 black / 6,000 color pages per set — each bottle set is roughly equivalent to 80 individual cartridges. Up to 2 years of ink included in-box. 2.4" touchscreen, 35-sheet ADF, 250-sheet cassette. Has fax.
• Type — refillable INK TANK all-in-one (EcoTank)
  A cartridge-free EcoTank inkjet AIO (print/scan/copy/fax) — refill large ink BOTTLES into onboard tanks for very low cost per page and thousands of pages. Still inkjet, so the printhead can CLOG if unused; the savings are from bottle refills, not clog-immunity.
• Initial charging & refills
  First setup 'charges' the printhead using a good amount of the starter ink (normal, not waste). Refill each color bottle (keyed to prevent wrong colors) when low; don't run tanks dry, which introduces air and clogs.
• Connectivity
  Wi-Fi/Ethernet/USB via the Epson Smart Panel app; 'offline' is usually a Wi-Fi drop or wrong queue.
• Paper and scanning
  A 250-sheet tray, automatic 2-sided printing, an automatic document feeder that scans up to 8.5 x 14 in, and a flatbed scanner.
• Connectivity
  Wi-Fi, Ethernet and fax, with a 2.4 in color touchscreen and the Epson Smart Panel app, Mopria Print and Mopria Scan.
