Ted: This sounds like the printer is telling you that the waste ink pad (a little sponge that sits under the print head when it is in the parked position) is full. One quick and dirty way I've found to do a reset is: 1. Turn off the printer power and unplug the power cord from the wall. Disconnect the computer interface cable at the back of the printer. 2.After one minute reattach the power plug to the wall, but don't reattach the computer cable. 3.Hold down the ROLL and the PAPER ADVANCE buttons simultaneously. 4.Turn the printer on. after 2 blinks, all the ink lights come on, then release the buttons being held down. 5.Press and hold the ROLL button for 10 seconds. 6.Release the ROLL button and the printer will initialize, which resets the Waste Ink Pad Counter. 7.Once initialization is complete, turn the printer power off. 8.Reconnect the interface cable. 9.Turn the printer on and print a document. The procedure is supposed to reset an internal counter in the printer. If the procedure stops the blinking, you (or most likely Sandy) will have to clean the waste ink pad. Turn the printer on. Push the "Change Ink" button. When the print head is in the changing position, pull the plug to cut the power. Then push the print head to the left. With an eyedropper or syringe saturate the waste ink pad with Windex Original or Windex with ammonia D, then dab at it GENTLY with a paper towel. Repeat as necessary.
