button for at least 5 seconds with the ink cartridge installed. Then printing can
continue under the ink out condition.
The function for detecting the remaining ink level will be disabled.
Replace the empty ink cartridge immediately after the printing. The resulting
print quality is not satisfactory, if printing is continued under the ink out
condition.
Replacing FINE Cartridges
When FINE Cartridges run out of ink, replace them using the following steps.
Possible causes are as follows:
- The FINE Cartridge may not be installed properly.
- The FINE Cartridge may not be compatible with this printer.
Install the appropriate FINE Cartridge. If lines are misaligned or the resulting output is not satisfactory, carry out the Print Head Alignment.
Replacing FINE Cartridges
When FINE Cartridges run out of ink, replace them using the following steps.
Confirm that the FINE Cartridges are installed in the appropriate positions.
See [ Replacing FINE Cartridges ]
The printer has a built-in ink absorber to hold the ink used during Print Head
Cleaning, for example.
Eight flashes indicates that the ink absorber is nearly full.
Press the RESUME/CANCEL button to cancel the error so you can continue
printing.
Before the ink absorber becomes completely full, contact a Canon service
representative. (You will need to replace a particular part of the printer.)
IMPORTANT
Canon recommends that you call for service as soon as this error occurs. Once
the ink absorber becomes completely full, printing cannot be performed until the
ink absorber is replaced.
The FINE Cartridge may not be compatible with this printer.
Install the appropriate FINE Cartridge. If lines are misaligned or the resulting
output is not satisfactory, carry out the Print Head Alignment.
Possible causes are as follows:
- The FINE Cartridge may not be installed properly.
- The FINE Cartridge may not be compatible with this printer.
Install the appropriate FINE Cartridge. If lines are misaligned or the resulting

Ink may have run out.
The function for detecting the remaining ink level will be disabled since the ink
level cannot be correctly detected.
If you want to continue printing without this function, press the RESUME button
for at least 5 seconds.
Canon recommends to use new genuine Canon cartridges in order to obtain
optimum qualities.
Please be advised that Canon shall not be liable for any malfunction or trouble
caused by continuation of printing under the ink out condition.
Getting the Ink Level Information
The printer considers as ink is full when new FINE Cartridge is installed, and then starts counting
a remaining level of ink. Even if new FINE Cartridges are not installed, the function for detecting
the remaining ink will work. However, with such cartridges, the detection may not be correct......
The POWER and ALARM lamps flash alternately as shown below.
Disconnect the printer cable from the printer, turn the printer off, and then unplug the printer from
the power supply. Plug the printer back in and turn the printer back on after leaving it for a while.
If the problem is not resolved, contact your Canon Service representative.
