Summary of Ink System Defect Messages
Check ink system /
Ignore This message follows one that has notified you of an error. You can either check the
ink system (and possibly replace the failed components) now, or ignore the error
and continue printing. In the latter case, the quality of printing may be impaired;
you may correct the error at a later time.
n See Checking Ink Systems 11-38.
Head cleaner full One or more of the printhead cleaners are full of ink. The printer will continue
printing but image print quality may be affected, and ink may leak inside the printer
and damage it. Replacement of the ink systems affected is recommended.
n See 11-39, Checking the Printhead Cleaners.
Head cleaner
removed One or more of the printhead cleaners are not detected. Printing has been disabled.
n See 11-39, Checking the Printhead Cleaners.
Incorrect ink system The printer has detected an error in the ink system (for example, some component
of the ink system may have been removed or reseated in an irregular manner), or the
last ink system replacement process did not finish successfully. It may also indicate
that not all components of the ink system were replaced at the same time. Printing
has been disabled.
n See 11-38, Checking Ink Systems.
Ink cartridge
removed One or more of the ink cartridges are not detected. Printing has been disabled.
n See 11-40, Checking the Ink Cartridges.

been disabled.

Ink system at end of
life The printer has detected that one or more components of the ink system have
reached the end of their intended lives. You should now replace all three
components of those ink systems affected (the printheads, the printhead cleaners
and the ink cartridges).
n See 11-38, Checking Ink Systems, and the general statement about ink systems
on page 11-31.
Ink system error This is a status message that follows an earlier error. The code value in the message
indicates the type of error.

Mixed ink system The printer has detected components of different ink systems types (for example,
Imaging and UV Pigmented). Printing has been disabled to prevent the printheads
from being contaminated.
n See 11-38, Checking Ink Systems.
