If an ink lamp is either flashing red at about 1-second intervals or is not lit, the
tank is empty.

To continue printing, confirm the number of times the ALARM lamp is flashing

flashing (at about 3-second intervals) indicates ink is low. For details on different
flashing speeds, see “Replacing an Ink Tank” on page 26.
