Print Cartridge Status lights are on or flashing
The printer has two print cartridge status lights.
1. The left status light represents the tri-color print cartridge, which is installed in the left
side of the print cartridge carriage.
2. The right status light represents the black or the photo print cartridge. One of these
print cartridges is installed in the right side of the print cartridge carriage. For more
information, see
Photo print cartridge.

estimated ink levels.
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 print cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable.
• If neither print cartridge is low on ink, press the Resume button. If the Print Cartridge
Status light remains on, turn the printer off, and then on again.
If one or both Print Cartridge Status lights are on and flashing
• The light on the left blinks when the tri-color print cartridge (on the left) is the problem,
the light on the right blinks when the black or photo cartridge (on the right) is the
problem. For resolving the error with the problem cartridge, see
Resolving print
cartridge error messages.
• If both lights are flashing, verify that the correct print cartridges are installed. For more
information, see
Install print cartridges.
• If you were printing a borderless document when the light started flashing, see
Borderless printing guidelines.
