Ink sensor warning
The ink sensor is reporting an unexpected condition. This could be caused by the cartridge, or the sensor may
have failed. If the sensor has failed, it can no longer sense when your cartridges are out of ink. Printing with an
empty cartridge will cause air to enter the ink system, which causes poor print quality. Significant amounts of ink
will be used up to recover from this condition, which will deplete much of the ink supply for all cartridges.
Solution: Click OK to continue printing or replace the cartridge. For information about how to install new
cartridges, see
Replace the ink cartridges.
Problem with printer preparation
The printer clock has failed and ink preparation may not be complete. The estimated Ink Level gauge might be
inaccurate.
Solution: Check the print quality of your print job. If it is not satisfactory, running the printhead cleaning procedure
from the toolbox might improve it.

The cartridges listed in the message are out of ink.
Solutions: To print in color, replace the empty cartridges. For information about how to install new cartridges, see

only? message appears before the job prints. The empty cartridges will need to be replaced soon.
CAUTION: Do NOT remove the empty color cartridge to print in Use Black Only mode.
