• A calibration page prints. The printer generates a calibration page to

test print quality each time a print cartridge is installed.

• If you are in the middle of printing and stop to change a print

cartridge, the calibration page prints after the print job is complete.

If the Print Cartridge Status light continues to blink after installing a new print
cartridge, check the part number on the cartridge to make sure the correct
cartridge is installed.
