he waste ink absorber is full.
Contact the service center for the replacement of the waste ink absorber.

The remaining level of the following ink is unknown.
Color [24]
The following ink tanks are running low.
Black [24]
There is a possibility that the printer cannot detect the remaining ink level properly. Reset the ink counter using the Maintenance tab of the printer driver whenever you have replaced any ink tank with new one.
