Replace the ink tank, and close the Scanning Unit (Printer Cover).

 

If printing is in progress and you want to continue printing, press the [OK]

If multiple ink lamps are flashing red, check how fast they flash. Fast

 

flashing (at about one second interval) indicates the ink is empty. Slow

 

flashing (at about three second interval) indicates ink is low. For details on

 

different flashing speeds, see “Getting the Ink Level Information” on

 

page 98.
