If one or both Print Cartridge Status lights are on and flashing

The light on the left blinks when the tri-color print cartridge (on the left) is the problem, the light on the right blinks when the black cartridge (on the right) is the problem. For resolving the error with the problem cartridge, see Resolving print cartridge error messages.

If the Power light is flashing: Open the printer cover, reinsert the print cartridge that you removed, and then remove the other print cartridge. Proceed to step 3.

If the Power light is off: There is a problem with the print cartridge that you removed. Proceed to step 3.

3.Manually clean the print cartridge.

After cleaning the print cartridge, reinsert it into the printer. If the light continues to flash, replace the print cartridge.
