If a message appears or the
icon appears above an ink color
on the LCD screen, the cartridge is low or expended. When an ink
cartridge is expended, printing stops and you need to replace the
cartridge. You may also need to replace a cartridge that is more
than six months old, or if your printouts do not look their best,
even after cleaning and aligning the print head.
The maintenance box stores ink that gets flushed from the system
during print head cleaning. If a message appears or the
icon appears above the
maintenance box icon on the LCD screen, the amount of available
space in the maintenance box is low. When the maintenance box is
full, you need to replace it.
