EPSON T-60 shuts down when I insert new cartridge

My EPSON T-60 shuts down when I insert my new cartridge. It stays on as long as I don't insert the cartridge. when the printer detects no cartridge, I would then insert the cartridge and then it shuts down in the middle of ink charging process. computer says "ink error". any idea what's wrong with my printer?
