Your Lomond printer uses separate ink tanks for each color.
Whenever you are running low on ink, the messages similar to the following will appear on
both your PC and printer, indicating which color is running low.

The messages above may vary depending on which ink tank is running low.
If your printer is networked and not within view, you can see the same information from the
Supplies screens in your
Toolbox
application (see page 77).
Action Required:
On a Lomond printer this message is only issued when an ink tank is completely empty.
Whenever you see an Ink Low message, you should replace ink tanks as needed
(see
Installing the ink tanks
on page 18).
You can continue to print for the moment utilising ink still in the printer

disappear for up to 30 seconds.
