„ Getting the Ink Level Information
Ink Level Indication on the Printer
You can confirm the ink level in each ink tank through the ink tank lamps. Open the Top
Cover of the printer to see how the ink tank lamps light or flash.
Ink is low: The ink tank lamp flashes slowly (at about three second interval). Prepare
a new ink tank.
Ink is out: The ink tank lamp flashes quickly (at about a second interval), and the
ALARM lamp on the printer flashes orange four times. Replace the ink
tank with a new one.
* When the ALARM lamp on the printer flashes orange seven or thirteen times, an error has occurred and therefore the
printer is unable to print. For details, refer to
“Handling Error Messages” on page 77.

1. Open the printer properties dialog box.
