Using The Low-Ink Alert - Canon BJC-55 User Manual

Using the Low-Ink Alert

This printer employs a low-ink alert that warns you when ink in a BJ tank runs low. Before
the printer is shipped from the factory, the low-ink alert is turned off.
To turn on the low-ink alert manually, follow these steps:
1
Press the POWER button to turn off the printer.
2
Press and hold down the POWER button until the printer beeps 8 times
then release the POWER button.
When the low-ink alert is turned on, and the ink supply in a BJ tank runs low, the CHARGE/
ERROR light starts flashing orange. To determine which BJ tank is about to run out of ink,
open the cartridge cover and press the CARTRIDGE button to move the cartridge holder to
the center. The type and number of flashes tell you which BJ tank is about to run out of ink.
