Error Message On Camera

Action

“Waste tank (ink absorber*2) full”/

The printer has a built-in ink absorber to hold the ink used during Print head

“ink absorber*2 full”

cleaning, for example.

 

This error message indicates that the ink absorber is nearly full.

 

You can continue printing for a while by selecting Continue*1 in the display on

 

your camera.

 

However, because printing is disabled once the ink absorber becomes

 

completely full and until the ink absorber is replaced, you are recommended to

 

contact a Canon service representative as early as possible. (You will need to

 

replace a particular part of the printer.)

“No ink”

You can check the printer status according to the way the ALARM lamp on the

 

printer (orange) and ink lamps (red) flash. Check the status of each lamp and

 

take the appropriate action to resolve the error.

Replacing the ink tank is recommended.

 

If printing is in progress and you want to continue printing, select Continue*1

 

in the display on your camera with the ink tank installed. Then printing can

 

continue. Replacing the ink tank is recommended after the printing. The

 

printer may be damaged if printing is continued under the ink out condition.

 

See “Replacing an Ink Tank” on page 26.

Note

If multiple ink lamps are flashing, check how fast they are flashing. Fast flashing (at about 1-second intervals) indicates the tank is empty. Slow flashing (at about 3-second intervals) indicates ink is low.

For details on different flashing speeds, see “Getting the Ink Level Information” on page 26.
