"Printing in ink-backup mode" message
When the printer detects that only one print cartridge is installed, ink-backup mode is
initiated. This printing mode lets you print with a single print cartridge, but it slows the
printer and affects the quality of printouts.
If you receive the ink-backup mode message and two print cartridges are installed in
the printer, verify that the plastic tape has been removed from each print cartridge.
When the protective piece of plastic tape covers the print cartridge contacts, the
printer cannot detect that the print cartridge is installed.
1 Remove plastic tape
