Troubleshooting

Printer does
not print

(continued)

3 orange flashes
(paper jam)

See the troubleshooting topic “Paper jams in the printer” on page 27.

4 orange flashes
(empty ink tank)

One of the ink tanks is empty. Replace it. See “Monitoring Ink Levels”
on page 19 and “Replacing Ink Tanks” on page 20 for more
information.

7 orange flashes
(defective
printhead)

Remove and re-install the printhead.

Also ensure that the protective tape has been removed.

If re-installing the printhead does not resolve the problem, contact the
Customer Care Center to replace it with a new one.

8 orange flashes
(waste tank
almost full)

The printer has a built-in waste ink tank to hold the ink consumed
during printhead cleaning. Press the RESUME button to restart
printing, then contact the Customer Care Center to have the waste ink
tank replaced immediately.

Printer flashes
green only

When the lamp flashes green, the printer is warming up or is receiving
print data from the computer. This is not an error condition.

the BJ Print
Monitor

the ink tanks is

When Backgrounding is turned on, you can confirm the low ink alert in
the BJ Print Monitor. See the

S600 User’s Guide

& User’s Guide CD-ROM for more information on using the BJ Print
Monitor.

After the alert displays, you can continue printing for a short time, but
have a replacement ready to install.

Ink Information tab to determine which ink tank is low.
