Printing under the current condition may damage the machine.

 

If you want to continue printing in this condition, you need to release the function

 

for detecting the remaining ink level. Press and hold the Stop/Reset button for

 

at least 5 seconds, and then release it.

 

With this operation, releasing the function for detecting the remaining ink level is

 

memorized. Please be advised that Canon shall not be liable for any

 

malfunction or trouble which may be caused by continuation of printing under

 

the ink out condition.

 

See “Replacing an Ink Tank” on page 107.

 

Note

 

z If the function for detecting the remaining ink level is disabled, the ink tank in

 

gray is displayed on the LCD when checking the current ink level.

 

See “Getting the Ink Status Information” on page 107.

storing them in memory, but a part of contents or all contents of the fax may

 

not be printed.

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

 

Press the OK button to cancel the error so you can continue printing.

 

However, because printing is disabled once the ink absorber becomes

 

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

 

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

 

to replace a particular part of the machine.)
