The amount of remaining ink shown in the cartridge replacement indicator is for reference only and may differ from the actual amount. Also, cartridges can become empty without a low ink warning appearing.

With glossy paper, if you print an image that needs a lot of ink, the printer may stop printing before the print is finished. An example of such an image is one containing a single large area of solid color, or one made up almost entirely of a few such areas.
Do not carry out head cleaning or head flushing. If you do, the ink may run out.
If you turn the power off and then back on, the printer will send the ink in the print cartridge to the printer. During this, the ink in the print cartridge may run out.
