z The ink tank may not be installed properly. Install the appropriate ink
tank.

Then printing can continue under the ink out condition. Replace the
empty ink tank immediately after the printing. The machine may be
damaged if printing is continued under the ink out condition.
Note
If multiple ink tank lamps are flashing, check how fast they flash. Fast
flashing (about one second) indicates the ink is empty. Slow flashing (about
three seconds) indicates ink is low. For details on different flashing speeds,
see “Knowing When to Replace Ink Tank” on page 109.
z Some ink tanks are not installed in place, or more than one ink tanks of
the same color are installed.
Confirm that the ink tanks are installed in the appropriate positions. See
