PIXMA TS302 LED flashing 4 times

[tcfu]

I just got this TS302 printer from a friend. It didn't have any ink cartridge so I bought only a black one. Installed the black cartridge only.

Pressed the On button, the LED indicator below the On button flashed 4 times, and the Wireless indicator is off.

Load some paper and press the i (Info) button, it doesn't print either.

What's the issues here? Is the Color cartridge required to get it started?

Thank you in advance for any help!

Thanks for joining the conversation, tcfu!  While I'm not a member of our support team, I do know that your PIXMA TS302 requires all of the cartridges to be installed for it to operate.  Leaving out one or more cartridges will keep you from going any further.

You can order genuine Canon cartridges directly from the source right HERE.

Thanks and have a great day!
