Epson 202XL Ink Cartridges: Model and Code Guide

Epson 202 and 202XL ink: check your printer and cartridge code

This guide is here to help you identify the Epson cartridge family before you order. The code printed on the cartridge or shown in your printer’s manual is the best starting point; a similar-looking number is not enough to confirm a match.

What does 202XL mean?

202 and 202XL are cartridge code references associated with Epson ink products. XL commonly denotes a higher-capacity version within a cartridge range, but the exact available options and printer fit must be checked for your particular model. Do not rely on the code alone if the printer model differs.

Check the exact printer model

This older article named the Epson Expression Premium XP-6000 and XP-6005. Treat those model names as historical references, not a current compatibility guarantee. Check the full model name on the printer, its display, or its manual, and compare it with the cartridge code on the one you are replacing.

1. Write down the complete Epson printer model, including any suffix.
2. Check the code on the cartridge label or printer documentation.
3. Compare both details before selecting a standard or XL option.
4. If you are unsure, call us with the printer model and cartridge code so we can help you check.
