Knowing When to Replace Ink Tank

If an ink tank needs replacing, the POWER lamp will change from green to orange and flash four times, as soon as printing begins. It is important to quickly identify the empty tank using the BJ Status Monitor (Windows) or error messages (Macintosh) and replace it.

Should missing characters or white streaks appear despite sufficient ink levels, refer to “When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors are Incorrect” on page 48.

The following message appears when ink is empty. Printing will resume as soon as ink tank is replaced and the Inner Cover and the Top Cover are closed.

The ink tank with [X] symbol is out of ink.

Replace with a new ink tank.

zPress the RESUME/CANCEL button to resume printing with an empty ink tank. When printing is finished, replace the ink tank immediately. If you continue printing with an empty ink tank, it may cause problems.

zMenu screens will vary to some degree, depending on your operating system.
