What Is Low Ink Warning - Canon iP6210D - PIXMA Color Inkjet Printer Printing Manual

What is Low Ink Warning?

The low ink warning is that the ink counter counts a remaining level of ink and tells you that FINE
Cartridges are running out of ink before printing.
The ink counter considers as ink is full when new FINE Cartridge is installed, and then starts
counting a remaining level of ink. For this, if old FINE Cartridge is installed, the message that a
remaining level of ink cannot be detected appears.
When the following message appears on the LCD, you should purchase new FINE
Cartridge.
C INK LOW C INK LOW C INK LOW C INK LOW
P INK LOW P INK LOW P INK LOW P INK LOW
If you install old FINE Cartridge and start printing, the following message appears and
printing stops.
CHECK INK CHECK INK CHECK INK CHECK INK

U162 U162

Possible causes are as follows:
• This FINE Cartridge has previously been used.
• Ink may have run out.
The function for detecting the remaining ink level will be disabled since the remaining ink
level cannot be correctly detected.
In either case, pressing the OK
continuation of printing. However, error detection function will be disabled after the error
indication is canceled, therefore, the low ink warning message does not appear later on.
When you install new FINE Cartridge, the low ink warning is enabled automatically.
OK button cancels the error messages and enables OK OK
