sure the ink cartridge is installed in the product.
When the ink cartridge is installed for the first time, the product uses ink to prepare for
printing (ink charging). Make sure to use a new ink cartridge.
Cartridge yields vary based on such usage environment and conditions.
To insure print quality, some ink remains in the cartridge after the Ink LED comes on.
This printer may automatically run maintenance operations at night or when the power is
turned on to maintain print quality. As a result of these maintenance operations, you may
need to replace the ink cartridge. In this case, replace the ink cartridge with a new one.
