TWhen the “X Ink Check” Message is Displayed
When the ink supply becomes low, the ink check message is displayed but printing continues. When this message is displayed, this means that the ink tank will run out of ink very soon. The first letter(s) of the message (“X”) tells you which tank is running low: Y (Yellow), M (Magenta), PM (Photo Magenta), C (Cyan), PC (Photo Cyan), Bk (Black). For example, “Y Ink Check”. After this message is displayed, have the correct color ink tank on hand for replacement.
