described in this section, or running a printer check, as described on page 43.
Checking the Control Panel Lights
Follow the guidelines below when you check the control panel lights:

when the printer is receiving a print job, charging ink, or cleaning the

cartridge replacement position.

The printer is out of paper. Load paper as described on page 6, and
then press the
m
paper button to resume printing.
m

Paper has jammed in the printer. Press the
m
paper button to eject the
