Follow these instructions to resolve the problem. "Print cartridge is in the wrong slot" 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 or photo print cartridge in the right print cartridge cradle compartment. "Printing in ink-backup mode" 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 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.
