Monitoring Ink Levels

The print driver allows you to monitor the level of ink in each ink tank, with a low
ink warning that notifies you when ink runs low during printing.
For this feature to accurately report ink levels, you must enable the low ink
warning and reset the ink counter when a new ink tank is installed.
To enable low ink warning in Windows:
1.
With the printer on, click Start, then Settings, then Printers.
2.
Right-click the Canon S200 icon, then select Properties.
3.
Select the Maintenance tab, then click the Low Ink Warning Setting icon.
4.
Click to check Display low ink warning, click Send, and click OK.
5.
If you have just installed one or both ink tanks, reset the ink counter for the
new tank(s). See "To reset the ink counter in Windows:" on page 24.
To enable low ink warning in Mac OS:
1.
With the printer on, click Page Setup from the File menu.
2.
Click Utilities to open the Printer Utility dialog box.
3.
Select Remaining ink level setting from the drop-down menu, then click the
Low Ink Warning setting.
Do not reset the ink tank counter for an ink tank that is already in
use. To do so will give an inaccurate report of ink levels. It is best
to enable the low ink warning feature either when you first set up
your printer or when replacing one or both ink tanks.
