"Two-way communication cannot be established" or "Printer not responding"

too long.
If you receive this error message, make sure that the USB cable is not greater than 5
meters (approximately 16 feet, 5 inches) in length.

cartridge might be faulty. Follow
these instructions to resolve the problem.
"Print cartridge carriage is stalled"

these steps if the printer stalls while you are printing a document.
"Print cartridge is in the wrong slot"
If you receive this error message, the print cartridge is installed in the wrong side of
the print cartridge cradle.
Always install the tri-color print cartridge in the left print cartridge cradle compartment.
Install the black or photo print cartridge in the right print cartridge cradle compartment.
"Printing in ink-backup mode"
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 protective piece of plastic tape has been removed from each
print cartridge. When plastic tape covers the print cartridge contacts, the printer
cannot detect that the print cartridge is installed.
