One by one, each color has been coming up close to empty, and then need to replace. The yellow said close to empty for a long time, so I went ahead and replaced it, however the read out never asked "did you replace yellow?" and it continues to say yellow is close to empty. I ran the cleaner a few times to see if that would fix it. Then today, it said the yellow ran out, so I opened the machine and reinstalled the yellow. Then the read out showed black is close to empty, so I reinstalled it (because it's not close to empty) and now the read out shows "No Cartridge" and is totally disabled. Any ideas?
Try to put hot water in each cartridge install, not so hot but normal hot that can disolve hard liquid component. When an inks happens not used more that 3 months it will become hard that might be possible the printer would not able to get the specific color because the cartridge getting problem.
****NOTE****
Make it sure the bottom part of the cartridge will not filled hot water where you can see the circuit outside, so make it sure only the sides of the cartridge filled with hot water.
Then make it sure after filling water you need to use dry cloth to make it dry before putting back again to your printer head.
Hope this will be helpful.

Your machine is equipped with an ink dot
counter. The ink dot counter automatically
monitors the level of ink in each of the 4
cartridges. When the machine detects an ink
cartridge is running out of ink, the machine
will tell you with a message on the LCD.
The LCD will tell you which ink cartridge is low
or needs replacing. Be sure to follow the LCD
prompts to replace the ink cartridges in the
correct order.
Even though the machine tells you that an ink
cartridge is empty, there will be a small
amount of ink left in the ink cartridge. It is
necessary to keep some ink in the ink
cartridge to prevent air from drying out and
damaging the print head assembly.
a Open the ink cartridge cover.
If one or more ink cartridges are empty,
for example Black, the LCD shows
Ink Empty Black and
Replace Ink.
b Pull the lock release lever down and
take out the ink cartridge for the color
shown on the LCD.
c Open the new ink cartridge bag for the
color shown on the LCD, and then take
out the ink cartridge.
d Remove the protective yellow cap (1).
Note
If the protective yellow caps come off
when you open the bag, the cartridge will
not be damaged.
e Each color has its own correct position.
Insert the ink cartridge in the direction of
the arrow on the label.
f Lift each lock release lever and push it
until it clicks, and then close the ink
cartridge cover.
g If you replaced an ink cartridge, the LCD
may ask you to verify that it was a brand
new one. (For example,
Did You Change Blck?) For each
new cartridge you installed, press 1
(Yes) to automatically reset the ink dot
counter for that color. If the ink cartridge
you installed is not a brand new one, be
sure to press 2 (No).
If you wait until the LCD shows
Near Empty and Ink Empty, the
machine will automatically.
