Status light ● When the printer is turned on, the On button light is lit. ● When the printer is turned off, the On button light is off. ● When the printer is in Sleep mode, the On button light is dimmed. The printer automatically enters Sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. ● When the printer is processing a job, the On button light is blinking. Additional blinking lights signal errors that you can resolve. See below to learn about light behavior and what to do.
Light behavior Cause and Solution One Cartridge light is on (not blinking). An “on” Cartridge light indicates that the corresponding ink cartridge still has the tape on, is low on ink, is missing, or is counterfeit. Both Cartridge lights are on (not blinking). ● If the pink tape is still on the ink cartridge, remove it. ● If the ink cartridge is low on ink, replace the ink cartridge when print quality is no longer acceptable. For more information, see Replace ink cartridges on page 39.
Light behavior Cause and Solution Both Cartridge lights are blinking. Both ink cartridges may still have the tape on, are missing, are defective, or are very low on ink. The On button light, both Cartridge lights, and the Attention light are blinking. ● If the pink tape is still on the ink cartridges, remove it. ● If the ink cartridges are missing, install the missing ink cartridges. ● If the ink cartridges are defective, replace the ink cartridges.
Auto-Off Auto-Off is automatically enabled by default when you turn on the printer. When Auto-Off is enabled, the printer will automatically turn off after 2 hours of inactivity to help reduce energy use. Auto-Off turns the printer off completely, so you must use the On button to turn the printer back on. For printer models with wireless or Ethernet network capability, Auto-Off is automatically disabled when the printer establishes a wireless or Ethernet network connection.
