common error and maintenance messages are shown below.
You can correct most errors and clear routine maintenance by yourself. If you need more help, the

driver you can use the
machine as a black & white
printer.

will stop all print operations. If
you unplug the machine, or take
out the ink cartridge, you cannot
use the machine until you
change to a new ink cartridge.
