• Number of flashes/Cause
  • Eight Flashes:  Ink absorber almost full.
• Action to correct the error

  • The printer has a built-in ink absorber for the ink used during Print Head Cleaning, for example. Eight flashes indicates that the ink absorber is nearly full. Press the RESUME/CANCEL button to cancel the error so you can continue printing. 

  • Important -  Once the ink absorber becomes completely full, printing cannot be performed until the ink absorber is replaced.

Note

• Alarm Lamp Is Lit Orange

  The printer is not ready to feed paper from the Front Tray yet. Load the paper correctly in the Front Tray and press the RESUME/CANCEL button on the printer. Refer to Loading Paper for details about how to load the paper correctly in the Front Tray.

• Power Lamp Flashes Blue

  When the Power lamp flashes blue even though the printer is not in use, the printer is shaking the ink tanks. It takes about 10 seconds to 3 minutes.
