Print Jobs Ink tank is empty If the ink tank lamp is flashing fast, ink is empty. Replace the ink tank and close
the cover. If printing is not finished yet, just press the
OK button on the printer to
continue printing in the “no ink” state. Replace the ink tank as soon as possible
after printing finishes.
Continuing to print in the “no ink” state may cause damage to the printer. Refer to
“Replacing an Ink Tank
Replacing an Ink Tank Replacing an Ink Tank Replacing an Ink Tank” in the Direct Printing Guide .
If multiple ink tank lamps are flashing, check how fast they flash. Fast
flashing (at about a second interval) indicates the ink is empty. Slow
flashing (at about three second interval) indicates ink is low. For
details on different flashing speeds, Refer to
“Getting the Ink Level
Information” in the Direct Printing Guide .
Ink tank is not
installed in the
correct position If an ink tank lamp is flashing even though ink remains in that ink tank, it is
inserted in the wrong position. Make sure that the correct ink tank color is inserted
in each position. Open the cover and make sure all the ink tank lamps are lit.
Refer to “Replacing an Ink Tank
