What to do
Use the table in "Error indicators"
earlier in this chapter to determine
what combination of errors may have
occurred, and apply the recommended
solutions.
What to do
Clean the print heads. See "Cleaning
the Print Heads," later in this chapter.
If this does not work after four or five
times, see the solution below.
If cleaning the print heads does not
solve the problem, replace the ink
cartridges as needed. If the B or A ink
out light is not on or flashing, see "Ink
Cartridge Problems," on page 9-37 to
replace the ink cartridge.
