by performing the procedures described in this

Replacing Ink Cartridges

is displayed in the upper-left corner of the LCD 
screen.

When printing or copying, a bar showing which ink 
cartridge is low is displayed next to the Ink Low icon.

When an ink cartridge is expended, the following 
LCD screen is displayed.

If a cartridge is more than six months old, print quality may decline. 
If necessary, try cleaning the print head (
