Replacing an Ink Tank
Important
Handling Ink
To maintain optimal printing quality, we recommend the use of specified Canon genuine ink
tank.
Refilling ink is not recommended.
Once you remove an ink tank, replace it immediately. Do not leave the printer with ink tank
removed.
Replace empty tank with new one. Inserting partially used ink tank may cause the nozzles to
clog. Furthermore, with such tank, the printer will not be able to inform you when to replace the
tank properly.
Once an ink tank has been installed, do not remove it from the printer and leave it out in the
open.
This will cause the ink tank to dry out, and the printer may not operate properly when it is
reinstalled. To maintain optimal printing quality, use an ink tank within six months of first use.
Color ink is consumed in Print Head Cleaning and Print Head Deep Cleaning, which may be
necessary to maintain the printer's performance. When an ink tank is out of ink, replace it
immediately with a new one.
When an ink tank runs out of ink, replace it using the following steps.
