Cannot Print

Replace XX Ink

One or more of the ink cartridges
have reached the end of their life. The
machine will stop all print operations.
While memory is available, black &
white faxes will be stored in the
memory. If a sending machine has a
color fax, the machine's “handshake”
will ask that the fax be sent as black &
white. If the sending machine has the
ability to convert it, the color fax will
be stored in the memory as a black &
white fax.

Replace the ink cartridges. (See
Replacing the ink cartridges
on page 51.)
