Clean the ink cartridge contacts

Find a clean, lint-free cloth (eyeglass wipes or coffee filters work well) that you can use to clean the ink cartridge contacts.
-
Press the Power button to turn on the printer, if it is not already on.
-
Place your fingers into the slot on the left side of the printer, and then pull to open the ink cartridge access door. The carriage moves to the left side of the printer. Wait until the carriage is idle and silent before you proceed.
