9. Troubleshooting
Cartridge Almost Empty
One of the ink cartridges is almost empty.
Check which color ink cartridge will soon have to be replaced, and then have a new cartridge
handy.
• If you print an image that needs a lot of ink, the machine may stop printing before the print is
finished. An example of such an image is one containing a single large area of solid color, or
one made up almost entirely of a few such areas.
• Do not carry out head cleaning or head flushing. If you do, the ink may run out.
• If you turn the machine off, and then turn it on again, the machine will send the ink in the ink
cartridge to the machine. During this, the ink in the ink cartridge may run out.
• The amount of remaining ink shown in the cartridge replacement indicator is for reference
only and may differ from the actual amount. Also, cartridges can become empty without a
low ink warning appearing.

• Ink cartridges should be used up before their expiry date, preferably within three months
after its package is opened.
