This section includes the check points and corresponding actions which are necessary
when the black ink (or color ink) LED comes on or blinks at power on despite the ink

following. If "No", proceed to the next step.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Table 3-7. This section describes the procedures for solving the problem
when an ink out (cartridge out) error is displayed even
though a brand-new ink cartridge has been installed.
Step Check Point
1 Has the cartridge not
been correctly inserted,
so that the cartridge
cannot be correctly
detected?
Overview
Remedy
Carry out the ink cartridge replacement operation and
check if an ink out or ink cartridge out error occurs no
matter which ink cartridge is used. Because the carriage
moves to the position of the marking on the carriage, it is
possible that an ink cartridge is not being detected. If a
particular cartridge is not being detected, lift this cartridge
up to the replacement position and then push it in firmly.
If the ink out indication disappears after the above
operation has been carried out and the carriage has returned
to the home position, the cause of the problem can be
assumed to be the reason given at left. If this does not solve
the problem, proceed to the next step.
NOTE: This printer has sus-plates installed to
the carriage in order to assist with
securing and removal of the ink
cartridges. The heights of the sus-plates
that apply tension to each color ink
cartridge can be changed in order to
alert the customer to the fact that the
cartridges have not been inserted
correctly because they are uneven.
