Out of Ink

The printer is out of the ink specified on the control panel. Replace the depleted ink.

Caution: Use ink made for the Phaser 8860 Color Printer only. Use of ink made for other Xerox printers or the use of non-Xerox ink can result in permanent damage to the printhead and affect print quality.

To load ink:

  1. Look at the control panel and note the color of the ink that is depleted.
  2. Remove paper from the output tray.

  3. Open the top cover.

  4. Locate the ink-loading bin that is empty. A label above each bin indicates the color and color number of that bin.

    Note: Each ink stick has a number that corresponds to the number on the ink-loading bin.
  5. Remove the ink stick from its packaging.
  6. Place the ink stick into the opening of the appropriate ink-loading bin. Each ink stick is uniquely shaped to fit into the correct ink-loading bin. Do not force the ink stick into the ink-loading bin.

  3. Send the print job to the printer.
