ERROR MESSAGE
INK EMPTY One or more of the ink cartridges are
empty. The MFC will stop all print
operations (such as printing copies, faxes
and jobs from the PC). While memory is
available, black and white faxes will be
received into memory. If a sending
machine has a color fax, the MFC's
"handshake" will request that the fax be
sent as black and white; if the sending
machine has the feature to convert it, the
color fax will be received into memory as a
black and white fax. MFCs connected with
a USB cable will be able to perform scan
operations; MFCs connected with a parallel
cable, will not scan.
To preserve good quality, the MFC
periodically cleans the print head. Also,
you can press Ink to start the cleaning when
needed. This cleaning process uses up ink
and can cause the ink to run out.
LOW The print head detects low temperature.

"handshake" will request that it be sent in
black and white; if the sending machine has
the feature to convert it, the color fax will
be received into memory as a black and
white fax.
