Checking Ink Status - Canon G1000 series Online Manual

Checking Ink Status

Check ink status with the ink tank indicator on the front of the printer.
When ink reaches the upper limit line (A), ink is full.
When ink is near the lower limit line (B), ink is running low. Refill the ink tank.
Note
• To check the remaining ink level, visually inspect the remaining ink in the ink tank.
Important
• If printing is continued when the remaining ink level is below the lower limit line, the printer may
consume a certain amount of ink to return to printable status and may also become damaged.
Note
• This printer has a function for notifying the remaining ink level, called the remaining ink level notification
function. When the remaining ink level notification function is enabled, refill all ink tanks until ink
reaches the upper limit line (A). If ink does not reach the upper limit line, the remaining ink level is not
detected correctly.
For details on the remaining ink level notification function, see below.

• If a remaining ink error occurs, the Alarm lamp will flash to inform you of the error. Count the number of
flashes and take appropriate action.
An Error Occurs
• The remaining ink level notification function works from initial printing to the time when one of the inks
reaches the lower limit line shown on the ink tank. For the remaining ink level notification function to
work appropriately, each ink tank must be filled with entire contents of the corresponding color ink bottle
bundled with the printer before printing. After the initial filling, if either of the ink tanks is refilled before
the remaining ink level reaches the lower limit line, a significant error may occur in the accuracy of the
remaining ink level notification function. If you want to refill an ink tank before the remaining ink level
reaches the lower limit line, be sure to follow the procedure in the manual.
• To ensure you receive premium print quality and to help protect your print head, a certain amount of ink
remains in the ink tank when the printer indicates to refill the ink tank. The estimated page yields of the
ink bottle do not include this amount.
