Ink tank is empty. Open the Scanning Unit (Printer 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 Scanning Unit (Printer Cover). See
“Replacing an Ink Tank” on page 46.
If you want to continue printing, confirm the message displayed on the LCD and
take the appropriate action. See “Error Message Is Displayed on the LCD” on

flashing speeds, see “Getting the Ink Level Information” on page 46.
