When the POWER lamp flashes blue and the printer vibrates, the printer is shaking
the ink tanks.
This is not a malfunction, so wait until the POWER lamp stops flashing and stays
lit, and the printer stops vibrating. Do not open the Top Cover while the printer is
operating (the POWER lamp is flashing blue).
Open the Top Cover and check if all ink lamps are lit.
