Using and Caring for Your 
Print Cartridges
Print Cartridge Status
The Print Cartridge Status Light flashes when one 
or both of your print cartridges are low on ink, 
improperly installed, or malfunctioning. It will 
also flash if you are trying to use the wrong print 
cartridge type. If the problem is low ink, the light 
will stop flashing when you open the top cover. 
For any other print cartridge-related problem, the 
Print Cartridge Status Light will continue to flash.
To check the status of your print cartridges, open 
the printer’s top cover. The yellow arrow on the 
print cartridge cradle aligns with one of five Print 
Cartridge Status icons.
