No need to respond, as someone else's suggestion I eventually found the 
maintenance cartridge and by pulling it out and putting it back in a couple 
times the message disappeared.

Subject: [Digital BW] Installing Epson 3800


I hope this turns out to be a very dumb question. I'm trying to set up
my new Epson 3800. After installing the ink cartridges the set-up
instructions say the inks will charge. However, at that point with my
printer the inks don't charge and instead the red light under the "ink"
symbol comes on and in the message window I get a message that says "No
Maintenance Cartridge - Install the Maintenance Cartridge SP3800." The
set-up instructions say nothing about any maintenance cartridge and the
only reference to such a thing I see in the operating manual is in a
list of optional accessories on page 11 of the manual. No such
cartridge was included with the printer that I can see. Could someone
who has successfully set up a 3800 tell me whether they had to buy
a "maintenance cartridge" before they could set up and use the printer
and if not how did you get the ink to charge? Or is there perhaps a
problem with my particular printer? Or am I just overlooking something
that should be obvious?

i did not buy a maintenance cartridge. if your install doesn't follow the quick start guide to the letter, i'd call epson. could be one of your ink cartridges may be improperly seated or defective. u might try re-seating all the cartridges to be sure. according to the print guide, this process consumes a bit of ink because the printer will undergo a reliability check.

Thanks very much for the information. For the benefit of others who may have 
the same problem, once I figured out what the cartridge was and where it was 
located I  managed to fix the problem by removing and replacing the 
maintenance cartridge a couple times. It must have come unseated in 
shipping.

Hi Brian:
I don't have a 3800 yet, but hope to have one soon. If it's not in the 
manual, can you describe the location of this "maintenance" cartridge? And 
is it the same size and shape as the ink cartridges?
Thanks,
Bert

Re: [Digital BW] Installing Epson 3800

It's in the lower right hand (as you face the front of the printer) corner 
of the printer and can be pulled out by using a little tab that's on the 
side of the printer around the corner. It doesn't look anything like the ink 
cartridges.
