Did you replace ink cartridges while the
o
printer was off?
If ink cartridges are replaced when the printer is off,
the printer will be unable to correctly determine the
ink level, with the result the ink lights may fail to turn
on when the cartridges require replacement and the
printer may fail to print normally. Be sure to follow the
procedure described in this manual when replacing
ink cartridges.
