Blinking C and 5

Low battery notice

Press the ON LINE button to set the

 

 

printer back on-line. You can print

 

 

again.

 

 

Be sure to plug your AC adapter

 

 

into the printer as soon as printing

 

 

is complete. Otherwise, the printer

 

 

detects a low battery notice

 

 

condition again and eventually the

 

 

printer may stop operating.

 

 

If you leave the printer in low

 

 

battery notice condition for more

 

 

than five minutes, the printer

 

 

turns off automatically.

Blinking C and 6

Automatic cartridge

Press the ON LINE button

 

change completion

to set your printer back on-line.

 

 

If you neglect to press the

 

 

CARTRIDGE button when you

 

 

change the BJ cartridge or an ink

 

 

tank, the printer returns the

 

 

cartridge holder to its home

 

 

position automatically in order to

 

 

prevent the print head from

 

 

drying out. The printer notifies

 

 

you that this has occurred by

 

 

alternately flashing C and 6 in the

 

 

display.

Blinking Bk

Ink low notice

If the Bk indicator blinks, the

indicator

 

printer is running low on black

 

 

ink. Make sure a new ink tank is

 

 

available. If you continue printing,

 

 

the printer will run out of ink and

 

 

you will have printing problems,

 

 

such as white streaks. Cleaning the

 

 

print head will not help. Replace

 

 

the ink tank with a new one.
