Time to Change the Ink Tank

Maintenance

For each of the situations shown below, check which color ink tank is low on ink before changing the tank. Click the "Maintenance" tab of the print status window to open the "Maintenance" dialog box. Use this dialog box to check the color of the ink tank you should change.

Reference:Changing Ink Tank

The ink lamp on the printer blinks fast, and the "Out of ink" error message is displayed on the print status window.

When the remaining ink is empty, the ink lamp on the printer blinks rapidly. If the "Out of ink" error message appears on the print status window, more than two of the ink tanks are out of ink. Check the ink indicators to find the empty ones, and then immediately replace them with new ones. If the error message indicates the color of the empty ink tank (see sample message below), replace the ink tank indicated in the message.

"Out of ink - xxxx" - One of the ink colors including cyan, yellow, magenta, and black is displayed as "xxxx" in this message.

If the correct ink tank is not inserted, the ink lamp will also blink fast.

The "Ink low" error message is displayed on the print status window.

When the remaining ink is near empty, the status icon on the print status window is changed into ( ). If the "Ink low" error message appears, more than two of the ink tanks are near empty. Check the ink indicators to find the ones which are near empty, and replace them with new ones as soon as possible. If the error message indicates the color of the near-empty ink tank (see sample message below), replace the ink tank indicated in the message.

"Ink low - xxxx" - One of the ink colors including cyan, yellow, magenta, and black is displayed as "xxxx" in this message.

This lamp will blink fast.
