Cause Action
Cannot see the display on the LCD. The machine is not powered on.
The machine will power ON and the LCD will display a message when you
connect the power cord and press [ON/OFF].
Cause Action
Ink tank is empty. If the ink lamp is flashing, ink is empty. Replace the ink tank, and close the
Scanning Unit (Printer Cover).
If printing is not finished yet, just press the [OK] on the machine to
continue printing in the “no ink” state.
Replace the ink tank with a new one as soon as possible after printing has
finished. The machine may be damaged if printing is continued under the
ink out condition.
Note
If multiple ink lamps are flashing, check how fast they flash. Fast flashing
(about one second) indicates the ink is empty. Slow flashing (about three
seconds) indicates ink is low. For details on different flashing speeds, see
“Getting the Ink Level Information” on page 98 .
Ink tank is not fully inserted. When the ink lamp is unlit, press the mark on the ink tank clicks into
place. The ink lamp lights red when the ink tank is fully inserted.
Make sure all of the orange tape is peeled off the ink tank as illustrated in
(A). If any orange parts are left like in (B), remove all of the orange parts.
(A) Correct
An L shaped notch appears on the ink tank.
(B) Incorrect
There remains the orange tape. Peel off the tape completely along the
perforation.
If ink tank is empty, replace the ink tank.
