Installing / Replacing Procedure
When the ink tanks run out of ink, follow the procedure below to replace them.
Important
Handling ink To maintain optimal print quality, we recommend the use of specified Canon brand ink tanks. Refilling ink is not recommended. If you remove an ink tank, replace it immediately. Do not leave the machine with ink tanks removed. Use new ink tanks for replacement. Installing used ink tanks may cause the nozzles to clog. Furthermore, with such ink tanks, the machine will not be able to inform you when to replace the ink tanks properly. To maintain optimal print quality, install ink tanks in the machine within the date indicated on the package box. And also use ink tanks within 6 months of first use. (We recommend you to put down the date when installing them.) |
Note
Color ink may be consumed even when printing a black-and-white document or when black-and-white printing is specified. Every ink is also consumed in the standard cleaning and deep cleaning of the Print Head, which may be necessary to maintain the machine's performance. When an ink tank is out of ink, replace it immediately with a new one. |
