Important:
If a message is displayed indicating that you need a
new XXX ink cartridge when you resume using the
printer, prepare an ink cartridge of the color
displayed in the XXX section before the next time
you use the printer.
The next time you turn on the printer, ink will fill
the print head nozzles making the printer ready to
print; so if you do not have enough ink to fill the
nozzles, the printer will not be ready to use until
the ink is replaced.
