canon MP230 suddenly wont scan

[jerrysue]

Have used my printer for several years without a problem.Today I cannot scan.Operating Windows 10.My black ink cartridge was removed waiting replacement so reinstalled empty cartridge.Does this affect scanning..Black ink.colour ink and hazard lights are all flashing in a sequence of 5 flashes.I assume this is because of no ink but again I would expect the scan to work
