Knowing When to Replace Ink Tank
If an ink tank needs replacing, the POWER lamp will change from green to orange and
flash four times, as soon as printing begins. It is important to quickly identify the
empty tank using the BJ Status Monitor (Windows) or error messages (Macintosh) and
replace it.
Should missing characters or white streaks appear despite sufficient ink
levels, refer to When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors are Incorrecton
page 48.

is replaced and the Inner Cover and the Top Cover are closed.

ink level. Obtain a replacement tank as soon as possible.

printing with an empty ink tank. When printing is
finished, replace the ink tank immediately. If you
