A message appears on the front panel display to let you know when the ink level
for the print cartridge is low. When you receive this message, it is recommended
that you have a replacement print cartridge available. You should also replace
the print cartridges when you see faded text or if you experience print quality
issues related to the print cartridges.

You will find four color bars on the self-test report: black, cyan,
magenta, and yellow.
If any color bars are missing, this might indicate that particular print
cartridge is out of ink. You might need to replace the print cartridge.

print cartridges on page 67.
Streaks might indicate clogged nozzles or dirty contacts. You might
need to clean the print cartridges or the print cartridge contacts. For
