Incorrect ink system
■■❏■→
After you used the Replace Ink System procedure, which was cancelled by a time-out
or aborted (see
Checking Ink Systems 11-38), the printer has detected that one or
more of the ink systems are still faulty or have not been fully replaced, as indicated
by the flashing squares. This message also appears if the printer believes that a
component is incorrect; you must then confirm that the ink system is indeed correct,
or rectify the error.
Press ↓ to continue
, to replace the ink systems. Printing will be disabled. You should
replace the faulty ink systems immediately; see page 11-38, Checking Ink Systems.
If you don’t correct the error now, you will see the status message “Ink system
error” described on page 12-6.
Initializing
new ink system
In the ink system replacement process, you have swapped an Imaging ink system for
a UV Pigmented ink system, or vice versa. The printer will reinitialize and prepare to
print with the new ink system.
Wait until the new ink system has been initialized.

be detected, as indicated by the flashing squares.
Press ↓ to check the failing ink cartridge. Printing has been disabled. You should
reseat the ink cartridge immediately; see 11-40, Checking the Ink Cartridges. If this
does not solve the problem, you will have to replace the entire ink system (printhead,
printhead cleaner, and ink cartridge) using the Replace Ink System key.
If you don’t correct the error now, you will see the status message “Ink system
error” described on page 12-6.
