Cautions About Using Refilled Ink Tanks for This Printer

Cautions About Using Refilled Ink Tanks for This Printer
The ink tanks designed for this printer have an ink level
detection function to prevent damage to the printhead when
the ink runs our during printing.
If you use a refilled ink tank, the ink level detection function
will no longer function correctly. The printer will detect ink
out and print operation will halt. Before you can use tanks
like this, you must switch off the ink level detection function.
If you print with the ink level detection switched off, the
printer (especially the printhead) may be damaged or other
problems may arise. Canon, Inc. will assume no
responsibility for damages caused by using ink tanks not
designed for use with the printer.
Caution
Once the ink level detection function has been
switched off, the ink level detection function cannot be
restored for the ink tanks in the printer. To restore the
ink level display, the ink tanks must be replaced with
new ink tanks designed for use with the printer.
If the same ink tank is repeatedly removed and
reinserted, this could damage the connection points
between the ink tank and the printer, leading to ink
leakage which could damage the printer.
