Hi HenryB,

What you are describing is normal. The carriage holding the ink cartridges will only move when the power is on, so there is nothing wrong with your unit.

Hope this helps!

Hi Taylor12,

You can try to gently pull the ink carriage over to the location to replace the ink. If the ink carriage is locked and wont move, the printer has experienced a hardware issue.
