NOTE
Canon Ink Tanks described in this guide.
There are four Ink Tanks: Black, cyan, magenta, and yellow.

Guidelines

• Store Ink Tanks at room temperature.
• Use Ink Tanks within a year after purchase. Once opened, use Ink Tanks within six months.
• Do not remove Ink Tanks from the machine unnecessarily, or the ink in them may harden.
• Do not leave empty Ink Tanks in a Printhead (Cartridge). Remove them immediately when they run out of ink,
and replace them with new ones. Do not leave a Printhead (Cartridge) with any of its Ink Tanks missing as the
ink in the Printhead (Cartridge) will dry and adversely affect print quality.
• Replace the Ink Tank with a new one. Replacing the Ink Tank with a used one causes trouble with the
printhead. It will also make it difficult to determine the correct time to change the Ink Tanks.
• The ink in the Ink Tanks is difficult to clean up if spilled. Follow these precautions when handling:
- Carefully remove Ink Tanks from packaging.
- Do not attempt to disassemble or refill Ink Tanks.
- Do not shake or drop Ink Tanks, or tip the printhead downwards.
• The ink in the Ink Tanks is soluble. Do not touch printed paper with wet hands, or spill any liquid onto it. It
may cause an ink spread.
• Keep Printhead (Cartridge) and Ink Tanks out of the reach of children. If a child inadvertently

ingests ink, consult a physician immediately.
