Check the print cartridges

Open the scanner unit and check the following items:

Are the cartridges properly installed? If you are using a color cartridge, make sure it is properly installed in the left carrier. If your are using a black cartridge, make sure it is properly installed in the right carrier. For help, see Install the print cartridges.
Are any of the cartridges low on ink? Return to the Lexmark 2200 Series Utility and check the cartridge ink level images that appear on each tab. If a cartridge is low, or if you have received an Ink Low message on your screen, install a new cartridge. An empty or low cartridge is marked with an exclamation point. For cartridge ordering information, visit the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com. To install a new cartridge, go to Install the print cartridges.
Is the transparent tape completely removed from the print cartridge? Individually remove the print cartridges from the carrier and verify that there is not a piece of transparent blue tape left on the bottom of the print cartridge. If there is a piece of tape left, remove it because it keeps the ink from leaving the print cartridge. Re-insert the print cartridge into the carrier and follow the instruction on the screen.
