NOTE: When the printer operates in ink-backup mode, a message is displayed on screen. If the message is displayed and two print cartridges are installed in the printer, verify that the protective piece of plastic tape has been removed from each print cartridge. When plastic tape covers the print cartridge contacts, the printer cannot detect that the print cartridge is installed.
