Replacing an Ink Tank

When ink runs out while printing is in progress, the Alarm lamp will flash orange four times and the error message will appear on your computer screen. Make sure which ink tank has run out of ink and replace it with a new one.

Note

When ink runs out or other errors occur, the Alarm lamp will flash orange to inform you of the error.

Refer to "Four flashes:" of "Alarm Lamp Flashes Orange" in " Troubleshooting " of the on-screen manual: Advanced Guide , and take an appropriate action.

For information on the compatible ink tanks, refer to the printed manual: Getting Started.

If print results become faint or white streaks appear despite sufficient ink levels, see When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors Are Incorrect .

Replacing Procedure

When the ink tanks run out of ink, follow the procedure below to replace them.

Important

Handling Ink

To maintain optimal print quality, we recommend the use of specified Canon brand ink tanks. Refilling the ink is not recommended.

If you remove an ink tank, replace it immediately. Do not leave the printer with ink tanks removed.

Use new ink tanks for replacement. Installing used ink tanks may cause the nozzles to clog. Furthermore, with such ink tanks, the printer will not be able to inform you when to replace the ink tanks properly.

Once an ink tank has been installed, do not remove it from the printer and leave it out in the open. This will cause the ink tank to dry out, and the printer may not operate properly when it is reinstalled. To maintain optimal printing quality, use an ink tank within six months of first use.

Note

Color ink may be consumed even when printing a black-and-white document or when black-and- white printing is specified.

Every ink is also consumed in the standard cleaning and deep cleaning of the Print Head, which may be necessary to maintain the printer's performance. When an ink tank is out of ink, replace it

immediately with a new one.
