Check the ink levels
Solution: Check the estimated ink levels in the cartridges.
NOTE: Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning
purposes only. When you receive a low-ink warning message, consider having a
replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need
to replace the cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable.
For more information, see:
Check the estimated ink levels” on page 71
