Canon PIXMA MG3600 Series Instructions Manual page 6

• When you start printing after replacing the FINE cartridge, the machine
starts cleaning the print head automatically. Do not perform any other
operations until the machine completes the cleaning of the print head.
• If the print head is out of alignment, as indicated by misaligned printed
ruled lines or similar symptoms,
• The machine may make noise during operation.
Notes on FINE cartridges
Important
• Do not touch the electrical contacts (A) or print head nozzle (B) on a FINE
cartridge. The machine may not print properly if you touch them.
• If you remove a FINE cartridge, replace it immediately. Do not leave the
machine with the FINE cartridge removed.
• Use a new FINE cartridge for replacement. Installing a used FINE cartridge
may cause the nozzles to clog.
Furthermore, with such a FINE cartridge, the machine will not be able to inform
you when to replace the FINE cartridge properly.
• Once a FINE cartridge has been installed, do not remove it from the machine
and leave it out in the open. This will cause the FINE cartridge to dry out, and
the machine may not operate properly when it is reinstalled. To maintain
optimal printing quality, use a FINE cartridge within six months of first use.
Note
• If a FINE cartridge runs out of ink, you can print with either color or black FINE
cartridge, in whichever ink remains, only for a while. However the print quality
may be reduced compared to when printing with both cartridges. We
recommend to use a new FINE cartridge in order to obtain optimum qualities.
Even when printing with one ink only, print with leaving the empty FINE
cartridge installed. If either of the color FINE cartridge or black FINE cartridge
align the print head.
