Ink Low Warning Reset By Button Operation - Canon BJC-55 Service Manual

5-2. Ink Low Warning Reset By Button Operation

Ink low warning
This printer detects the remaining ink level by counting the number of ejected ink dots in
the same way as the BJC-50/50v. When the setting of the ink low warning is enabled, and
the remaining ink gets low, the beeper sounds twice, and the ERROR INDICATOR blinks.
Pressing the Cartridge Replacement button will sound the beeper and move the carriage
to the center, and the ERROR INDICATOR indicates the ink cartridge for which the
remaining ink is low as shown below.
The ink low warning reset function by button operation is added to this printer. The button
Blinks once: when the remaining ink of the BCI-10 / BCI-11Bk / BCI-12Bk is little
Blinks twice: when the remaining ink of the BCI-11Color / BCI-12Color is little
Blinks 3 times: when the remaining ink of the BCI-11 BK & Color / BCI-12 BK & Color is little
operation procedures are shown below. (The ink low warning of the BJC-50/50v can be
reset from the host computer only.)
