The Printer Consumes A Lot Of Ink; Ink Level Detection - Canon 2160B002 User Manual

Other problems

The printer consumes a lot of ink

Many full-page color images are printed.
Head Cleaning B is used often.
You have just nished initial installation, when more
ink is consumed to ll the system.

Ink Level Detection

Ink level detection will be deactivated if you load ink tanks once emptied.
Ink level detection
Ink tanks specied for this printer feature an ink level detection function to prevent the ink from running out
during printing, which prevents printer damage. (→P.558)
This function will not work correctly if you use rell ink tanks. As a result, printing stops. Thus, before using
rell ink tanks, you must cancel the ink level detection.
Printing with the ink level detection canceled may lead to printer damage and printing problems. Canon Inc.
is not liable for any damage that may occur as a result of relling ink.
Caution
•
After ink level detection has been disabled, this function cannot be reactivated for the currently loaded
Ink Tank. To use ink level detection again, replace the Ink Tank with a new ink tank specied for use
with the printer.
•
Repeatedly removing and inserting an Ink Tank may damage the connection between the Ink Tank and
the printer, which may cause ink leakage from the Ink Tank and damage the printer.

In print jobs such as photos, images are lled with
color. This consumes a lot of ink. This does not
indicate a problem with the printer.
Head Cleaning B consumes a lot of ink. This does
not indicate a problem with the printer. Unless the
printer has been moved or stored for a long period
or you are troubleshooting Printhead problems, we
recommend not performing Head Cleaning B, to the
extent possible.
After initial installation or at the rst-time use after
transfer, ink ows into the system between the Ink
Tank and Printhead, which may cause the ink level
indicators to drop to 80%. This does not indicate a
problem with the printer.
