Low ink alert

When the ink supply becomes low in an ink tank, Windows displays a low ink alert with the BJ Status Monitor and Macintosh displays the low ink alert with the BJ Print Monitor. After the low ink alert is displayed, you can continue printing, but you should replace the empty ink tank as soon as

possible.		Ink runs low!
•	When an ink tank becomes empty, the printer beeps, the POWER/ERROR lamp lights orange, and
Reference	printing halts. In this case, you cannot continue printing and you must replace the empty ink tank.
	After the ink tank is replaced, the printer will automatically clean the print head and the
	POWER/ERROR lamp will flash. When the lamp stops flashing and lights green, ink tank replacement
	is completed. For details about replacing an ink tank, see “Replacing an in tank” in this “User's
	Guide”.

Windows

Read the BJ Status Monitor message and click the Ink Information tab to confirm where the ink supply has run low.

Macintosh

Open the BJ Print Monitor to confirm the low ink alert.

Ink tanks displayed here run low.

•	When Backgrounding is off, you
Memo	cannot open the BJ Print Monitor.
	If the low ink alert occurs, the
	Status dialog displays
	automatically with the ink low
	warning.
