The color ink cartridges run out of ink even though you never or rarely print in color. For details, click the link below:

• Why do the color ink cartridges run out of ink even though I never or rarely print in color?

• If you replaced an ink cartridge, for example Black, the LCD may ask you to verify that it was a brand new one (for example, "Did You Change Black"). For each new cartridge you installed, press Yes to automatically reset the ink dot counter for that color. If the ink cartridge you installed is not a brand new one, be sure to press No.
   
• If the LCD shows "No Ink Cartridge" or "Cannot Detect" after you install the ink cartridges, check that the ink cartridges are installed properly.
