Low ink ovveride error dell 962

Unplug the printer from the wall. Noe remove the power brick from the printer for 60 seconds. This will reset any error message the printer is getting. Plug the printer back in.

Turn on the printer. Open up the printer and take out the black cartridge and reseat it. Do the same for the color cartridge. Now close the printer and it will print an alignment page. Any error messages?

If you still get the error message, then it's possible that the sensor in the Dell Series 5 ink cartridge is bad. If this is a new Dell Series 5 ink cartridge, then take it back to the place of purchase for a replacement or refund.

Hi,

Your ink cartridge contacts are dirty or that your ink overflowed.. you should take the cartridge out and with a kleenex carefully wipe off the contacts on the cartridge and in the holder and reinstall and realign the cartridges.You also need to wipe down the cartridge caddy sensors. If the problem persists, try another cartridge ( new ). If that does not solve the problem, then unfortunately, you need to send the printer to Dell for a sensor replacement.


Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

Can you copy a document, when you put it under the glass? B&W and color?

If so, then it is a driver issue. Try reinstalling the printer by following the instructions located at...

962 All-In-One Inkjet Printer owners thread (W7)

If not, then...

Do you have a '926' or a '962' printer? You've cited each number in your problem description.

Remove the ink cartridge.
Turn the printer off.
Turn the printer on.
Reinsert the ink cartridge.

If the problem persists, contact Dell, and get them to replace it.

Hello,
Have you tried to unplug your printer and plug it back in?

To get your printer to recognize the new cartridge; go to start - printer and faxes -right click on printer - preferences (printing preferences) -settings -load factory settings. Print test page Ctrl+P

maybe it have the ink level chip which can be resetted by removing the cartridge and oning and offing the printer for 5 times within 10 minutes coz it saves data of a cartridge upto 5 use before only.. and 6th time insert it.

I would take out both cartridges and put them in again. Realign the printer and the error codes should remove themselves. Try turning the printer off and on before puting the cartridges in again. That may make a difference. You can let your computer know not to tell you when the ink is low too. Let me know how this work for you.

Red flashing light on '8BK' small black cartridge on left hand side.
If this indicates 'low ink' then it is not alerting me on the monitor. I think this is something different because my printing has been interrupted. Aileen
