The Printer Consumes A Lot Of Ink - Canon iPF6300 User Manual

The printer consumes a lot of ink

Cause
Many full-page color images
are printed.
Head Cleaning B in the Con-
trol Panel menu is executed
frequently.
You have just finished initial
installation, when more ink is
consumed to fill the system.
The Printhead nozzles are
clogged.
Ink Level Detection
Ink level detection will be deactivated if you load ink tanks once emptied.
Ink level detection
Ink tanks specified for this printer feature an ink level detection function to prevent the ink from running out during
printing, which prevents printer damage. (See "Ink Tanks.")
This function will not work correctly if you use refill ink tanks. As a result, printing stops. Thus, before using refill ink
tanks, you must cancel the ink level detection.
Printing with the ink level detection canceled may lead to printer damage and printing problems. Canon Inc. is not liable
for any damage that may occur as a result of refilling ink.
Caution
• After ink level detection has been released, this function cannot be reactivated for currently loaded Ink
Tank. To use ink level detection again, replace the Ink Tank with new ones specified for use with the
printer.
• Repeatedly removing and inserting an Ink Tank may damage the connection between the Ink Tank and
the printer, which may cause ink leakage from the Ink Tank and damage the printer.
Releasing ink level detection

On the Display Screen, a message indicates that the ink level cannot be detected. After checking the message,
press the ▶ button.

In print jobs such as photos, images are filled with color. This consumes a lot of
ink. This does not indicate a problem with the printer.
Head Cleaning B in the Control Panel menu consumes a lot of ink. This does not
indicate a problem with the printer. Unless the printer has been moved or stored
for a long period or you are troubleshooting Printhead problems, we recommend
not performing Head Cleaning B, to the extent possible.
After initial installation or at the first-time use after transfer, ink flows into the sys-
tem between the Ink Tank and Printhead, which may cause the ink level indicators
to drop to 80%. This does not indicate a problem with the printer.
Check for nozzle clogging.
