Troubleshooting
This FINE Cartridge may have previously been used, or the ink may have
run out. The function for detecting the remaining ink level will be disabled
since the remaining ink level cannot be correctly detected. If you want to
continue printing without this function, press [OK]. Canon recommends to
use new genuine Canon Cartridges in order to obtain optimum qualities.
The FINE Cartridge may not be the compatible with this machine. Install
the appropriate FINE Cartridge. If lines are misaligned or the resulting
output is not satisfactory, carry out the FINE Cartridge Alignment.
An error requiring servicing might have occurred. Turn OFF the machine,
and unplug the power cord of the machine from the power supply. After a
while, plug the power cord of the machine back in and turn ON the
machine. If the same error occurs, contact a Canon service representative.
If the [ON/OFF] Lamp (green) and Alarm Lamp (orange) flash alternately,
disconnect the USB cable from the machine, and then turn the machine
OFF and then unplug the machine from the power supply for a while. Plug
the machine back in and turn the machine back ON.
If the problem remains, contact a Canon service representative.

The LCD may be in power saver mode.
Press any button on the Operation Panel except for [ON/OFF] to restore
the display.
Replace the FINE Cartridge, and close the Scanning Unit.
If printing is not finished yet, just press [OK] on the machine to continue
printing in the "no ink" state. Replace the FINE Cartridge with a new one
as soon as possible after printing has finished. The machine may be
damaged if printing is continued under the ink out condition. See
