Ink Level Detection

Ink Level Detection
Ink level detection will be deactivated if you load ink tanks once emptied.
Ink level detection
Ink tanks specified for this printer feature an ink level detection function to prevent the ink from running out during
printing, which prevents printer damage. (See "Ink Tanks.")
This function will not work correctly if you use refill ink tanks. As a result, printing stops. Thus, before using refill 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 refilling ink.
•
After ink level detection has been released, this function cannot be reactivated for currently loaded Ink Tank. To use ink
level detection again, replace the Ink Tank with new ones specified for use with the printer.
Important
•
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.

Basic Guide
After initial installation or at the first-time use after transfer, ink flows 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.
Check for nozzle clogging.
