      Or

      - The ink has run out.

      Make sure that the ink tank is installed in the correct position as indicated by the label on the print head holder. If the position is correct but the lamp flashes, there has been an error and the printer cannot print. Check the Alarm lamp on the printer.

If the ink tank is not firmly in place, make sure that the orange protective cap has been removed from the bottom of the ink tank, then press on the top of the ink tank until the ink tank clicks into place.

      If the ink lamp is still off after reinstalling the ink tank, there has been an error and the printer cannot print. Check the Alarm lamp on the printer.
