See the troubleshooting topic "Paper jams in the printer" on page 29.
Install the printhead. If the problem persists, contact the Customer
Care Center.
Remove and re-install the printhead.
Also ensure that the protective tape has been removed.
If re-installing the printhead does not resolve the problem, contact
the Customer Care Center.
The printer has a built-in waste ink tank to hold the ink consumed
during printhead cleaning. Eight flashes indicates that this tank is
nearly full. Press the RESUME/CANCEL button to restart printing, then
contact the Customer Care Center to have the waste ink tank replaced
immediately.
When the lamp flashes green, the printer is warming up or is
receiving print data from the computer. This is not an error condition.
After the low ink warning displays, you can continue printing for a
short time, but have a replacement ink tank ready to install.
