Using the Low-Ink Alert
This printer employs a low-ink alert that warns you when ink in an ink tank runs low. Before the printer is shipped from the factory, the low-ink alert is turned off. To turn on the low-ink alert manually, follow these steps:
1. Press the <POWER> button to turn off the printer.
2. Press and hold down the <POWER> button until the printer beeps 8 times then release the <POWER> button.
When the low-ink alert is turned on, and the ink supply in an ink tank runs low, the ERROR light starts flashing orange. To determine which ink tank is about to run out of ink, open the cartridge cover and press the <CARTRIDGE> button to move the cartridge holder to the center. The type and number of flashes tell you which ink tank is about to run out of ink.
