One or more of the ink cartridges is empty. The
INK EMPTY
machine will stop all print operations. While
memory is available, black and white faxes will
be received into memory. If a sending machine
has a colour fax, the machine's 'handshake' will
request that the fax be sent as black and white.
If the sending machine has the ability to convert
it, the colour fax will be received into memory as
a black and white fax. Only machine's that are
connected with a USB cable will be able to
perform scan operations. MFC's that are
connected with a parallel cable, will not scan.
To ensure good print quality, the machine will
regularly clean the print heads. You can press
Ink to start the cleaning process when needed.
(The cleaning process uses up ink and can
cause the ink to run out.)
