Remove and check cartrige what can cause this to appear ?

what exact problem you are getting??
common solution for cartridge error.....

The problem could be due to a communication failure between one of the printheads (cartridges) and the All-In One (AIO) or by a short in one if the printheads. Please follow the steps below to identify and fix cartridge issues:

1. Make sure the printer is on.
2. Open the printer cover. The print cartridge carrier moves and stops at the loading position, unless the All-In-One is busy. Note: If the carrier does not automatically move to the center, turn off the printer or unplug the printer from the power source and then carefully slide the carrier to the center.
3. Remove both cartridges from the carrier.
4. Close the printer cover.
5. Re-brick your printer by pulling out the power supply - black box behind the printer where the power cord is plugged in to, and re-plug after 30 seconds.
6. When the printer turns on, reinsert one cartridge first. Close the printer cover and check for any errors.
7. If no error appears, reinsert the other cartridge. Close the printer cover.
8. Replace whichever cartridge is causing the error to appear with a new genuine cartridge. Try to print a document again to verify that the problem is fixed.

The message you are getting may be due to the following reasons :

1) Cause : One or more ink cartridges missing.
Solution : Remove and reinsert the ink cartriges and verify that they are fully inserted and locked in place.

2) Cause : One or more of the ink cartriges are not installed or are installed incorrectly.
Solution : Remove and reinsert the ink cartriges and verify that they are fully inserted and locked in place. If the problem persists, clean the copper-colored contacts of the ink cartriges.

your newly installed cartrige which is the colored one is not detected or mybe damage....may i ask if how many times did you refill already your cartrige?refilling a cartrige can cause damage to its circuit i suggest purchase a new colored cartrige and see if it works.

the printer needs servicing....removing cartridges and use a soft paint brush to dust away waste catridges powder.....

remove the cartridge and see if it goes away, if does then you probably have a defective cartridge are are not inserting it correctly.

Thank You,
