OUT OF INK
■■■❏
The printer has detected that the amount of ink in the ink systems indicated by one
or more flashing squares, is below acceptable limits for satisfactory printing.
Press to check the indicated ink systems. See 11-38, Checking Ink Systems. You will
be prompted to change the kit or to ignore the error and continue printing. If there is
still a large amount of ink remaining in the ink cartridges, see
the message Printhead
failure on page 12-12
.
Out of memory
Data was lost
The current file is too large for the printer’s memory; the printer has run out of disk
space for processing the file.
To print files of this size, you may need to install more memory to your printer.
Press ENTER when
done
The printer is waiting for you to confirm an action or selection.
When you have taken the appropriate action press the
Enter key.
Printhead alignment
cancelled
The printhead alignment procedure has failed, or the printer has detected a fault that
stops the procedure from completing. Subsequent messages will explain the error
further:
“Replacement of lens cover recommended”—You should check the section on
replacing lens covers on page 10-3, Lens Maintenance.
“Media too small for calibration”—The roll that is loaded is not wide enough for
the calibration to be done. It must be at least A3 size. You should load appropriate
media and repeat the procedure again, using Image Quality / Printhead Service /
Align Now. If you use sheet media that is too small, the printer will reject the
media and prompt you to load new media.
Press to continue. You may continue printing, but you may not get your usual image
print quality. To fix problems with the ink system, see 11-38, Checking Ink Systems.

or
Printhead alignment
error
The printhead alignment procedure has failed, or the printer has detected a fault that
stops the procedure from completing. The squares that are flashing indicate the ink
systems that have failed. If the message contains no squares, the procedure has failed
because of a problem that is not related to specific printheads, for example, a problem
with the media.
Press to continue. The message “Check ink system/ Ignore” should be
displayed. If you press again to continue, you may still be able to print again, but
image print quality may be affected. To fix the problem, select
to check the ink
system; see 11-35, Printhead Alignment Errors.
