2Using and Caring for Your Print Cartridges

Print Cartridge Status

Print Cartridge Status Light

The Print Cartridge Status Light flashes when one or both of your print cartridges are low on ink, improperly installed, or malfunctioning. It will also flash if you are trying to use the wrong print cartridge type. If the problem is low ink, the light will stop flashing when you open the top cover. For any other print cartridge related problem, the Print Cartridge Status Light will continue to flash.

To check the status of your print cartridges, open the printer’s top cover. The yellow arrow on the print cartridge cradle aligns with one of five Print Cartridge Status icons.
