If the ink tank lamp is flashing fast, ink is empty. Replace the ink tank and close
the Top Cover. If printing is not finished yet, just press the RESUME/CANCEL button
on the printer to continue printing in the "no ink" state. Replace the ink tank as
soon as possible after printing finishes.
Continuing to print in the "no ink" state may cause damage to the printer. See
"Replacing an Ink Tank" on page 37.
If multiple ink tank lamps are flashing, check how fast they flash. Fast
flashing (at about one second interval) indicates the ink is empty.
Slow flashing (at about three second interval) indicates ink is low. For
details on different flashing speeds, see
Information" on page 38.
If an ink tank lamp is flashing even though ink remains in that ink tank, it is
inserted in the wrong position. Make sure that the correct ink tank color is inserted
in each position.
