Low on ink
Cause: At least one of the print cartridges is estimated to be low on ink and might
need to be replaced soon.
Solution: Have a replacement cartridge on hand to avoid printing interruptions. You
do not have to replace the cartridge until print quality deteriorates. If you have installed
a refilled or remanufactured print cartridge, or a cartridge that has been used in
another printer, the ink level indicator will be inaccurate or unavailable.
