"Printing in ink-backup mode" message
When the printer detects that only one print cartridge is installed, ink-backup mode is
initiated. This printing mode lets you print with a single print cartridge, but it slows the
printer and affects the quality of printouts.
If you receive the ink-backup mode message and two print cartridges are installed in
the printer, verify that the plastic tape has been removed from each print cartridge.
When the protective piece of plastic tape covers the print cartridge contacts, the
printer cannot detect that the print cartridge is installed.
1 Remove the pink plastic tape.
"Print cartridge is in the wrong slot" message
If you receive this error message, the print cartridge is installed in the wrong side of
the print cartridge cradle.
Always install the tri-color print cartridge in the left print cartridge cradle compartment.
Install the black print cartridge in the right print cartridge cradle compartment.
