One or both ink cartridges may be empty or too old. A

described earlier in this chapter. If this does not solve the

If you replace an ink cartridge before its

the sensor that tells you when the ink is out will not work with
the new cartridge.
If pressing the
Pause
button does not turn on the
Pause
light,
turn off your printer and disconnect the interface cable. Then
reconnect the cable and turn on the printer.
The cable between the printer and computer may not meet
the specifications for the printer or computer. See “System
Requirements” in your
Setup and Software Guide
for cable
guidelines.
Turn off the printer and perform a self test as described in
Chapter 1 of your

. If the self test does
not print, the problem is with the printer. If the self test prints
correctly, the problem is probably caused by your software.
