Printer Does Not Start
Cause Action
The printer is not powered on. / The
power cord is no connected.
Make sure that the power cord is securely plugged into the Power Connector of
the printer. Plug the power cord all the way in, since it may be difficult to plug.
Ink tank is empty. Open the Top Cover and check the ink lamps.
If an ink lamp is flashing red at about 1-second intervals, the tank is empty.
Replace the ink tank, and close the Top Cover.
See “Replacing an Ink Tank” on page 22.
To continue printing, confirm the number of times the ALARM lamp is flashing
and take the appropriate action. See “ALARM Lamp Flashes Orange” on
page 65.
Note
If multiple ink lamps are flashing, check how fast they are flashing.
Fast flashing (at about 1-second intervals) indicates the tank is empty. Slow
flashing (at about 3-second intervals) indicates ink is low. For details on different
flashing speeds, see “Getting the Ink Level Information” on page 22.
Ink tank not installed in proper position. Open the Top Cover and check the ink lamps.

installed in a wrong position.
Confirm that the ink tanks are installed in the appropriate positions. See
“Replacing an Ink Tank” on page 22.
