Refilling Ink Tanks - Canon G1020 series Online Manual

Refilling Ink Tanks

When remaining ink cautions or errors occur, the Alarm lamp flashes to inform you of the error. In this state,
the printer cannot print. Check the remaining ink level with the ink tank indicator on the front of the printer. If
the ink level is near the lower limit line (A), refill the ink tank.
Important
• If the function for notifying the remaining ink level (remaining ink level notification function) is enabled,
resetting the remaining ink level count is required before refilling ink tanks up to the upper limit line.
If the remaining ink level count is reset when the ink tanks are not full, the printer cannot detect the ink
level correctly.

• If the remaining ink level notification function is disabled, visually inspect the remaining ink and refill the
ink tanks as necessary. Continuing printing with ink below the lower limit line of an ink tank may prevent
satisfactory print quality.
