Refilling Ink Tanks Refilling Ink Tanks Checking Ink Level Ink Tips 36
Refilling Ink Tanks Check the remaining ink level with the ink tank indicator on the front of the printer. If the ink level is near the lower limit line (A), refill the ink tank. Note • If the function for notifying the remaining ink level (remaining ink level notification function) is enabled, resetting the remaining ink level count is required before refilling ink tanks. There are two ways to reset the remaining ink level count.
Important • Do not touch tubes or other parts inside the printer. This can cause trouble with the printer. 3. Open the ink tank cover. To refill the black ink tank, open the left ink tank cover (C). To refill color ink tanks, open the right ink tank cover (D). 4. Grab and remove the tank cap (E) of the ink tank to be refilled.
Important • Carefully remove the tank cap of the ink tank. Ink on the inside of the tank cap may spatter when removing it. 5. Take a new ink bottle out of its package. 6. Hold the ink bottle upright and twist the bottle cap (F) to remove.
Important • When removing the bottle cap, avoid squeezing the sides of the ink bottle. Hold the ink bottle as shown in the figure above. If you push the sides of the ink bottle, ink will spatter. • Do not shake the ink bottle. Ink may spatter when opening the cap. • Even if the ink bottle is dented, the ink contained in the bottle can still be used without problem. 7. Refill the ink tank. Aligning the nozzle of the ink bottle with the bottle guide (G) on the printer, insert the nozzle into the inlet (H).
Note • When inserting the tank cap, be careful not to twist the tank cap rubber. 9. Close the ink tank cover. Important • If you cannot properly close the ink tank cover, check if you forgot to insert any tank caps of the ink tanks. 10. Lift the top cover up slightly and then gently close it. Note • If the Alarm lamp flashes after the cover is closed, take appropriate action. An Error Occurs • The printer may make noise during operation.
If remaining ink level notification function is enabled Resetting the remaining ink level count when a remaining ink error occurs If the remaining ink level notification function is enabled, the Alarm lamp flashes when ink runs low. This function is enabled by default. Refill all four ink tanks until full and then reset the remaining ink level count. • To continue enabling the remaining ink level notification function Press and hold RESUME/CANCEL button for more than 5 seconds.
• Ink may stain clothes or other belongings permanently. Washing may not remove ink stains. • Do not use ink bottles and ink contained therein except to refill tanks of printers specified by Canon. • Do not leave ink bottles in areas exposed to high temperature, such as near fire or a heater or in a car. Bottles may warp and cause ink leakage or ink may become poor quality. • Do not subject ink bottles to impacts. Ink bottles may be damaged or bottle caps may come off by such impact, and ink may leak.
Checking Ink Level Check ink level with the ink tank indicator on the front of the printer. When ink reaches the upper limit line (A), ink is full. When ink is near the lower limit line (B), ink is running low. Refill the ink tank. Note • To check the remaining ink level, visually inspect the remaining ink in the ink tank.
Ink Tips How is ink used for various purposes other than printing? Ink may be used for purposes other than printing. During initial setup, some of the ink from the bundled ink bottles is used to fill the print head's nozzles to ensure the printer is print-ready. Therefore, the page yield of the initial bundled set of ink bottles is lower than that of the subsequent sets of bottles. To keep printer's performance, Canon printer performs cleaning automatically according to its condition.
Maintenance If Printing Is Faint or Uneven Performing Maintenance Functions from Your Computer (Windows) Cleaning 46
If Printing Is Faint or Uneven Maintenance Procedure Printing the Nozzle Check Pattern Examining the Nozzle Check Pattern Cleaning the Print Head 47
Maintenance Procedure If print results are blurred, colors are not printed correctly, or print results are unsatisfactory (e.g. misaligned printed ruled lines), perform the maintenance procedure below. Important • Do not rinse or wipe the print head. This can cause trouble with the cartridge. Note • Check if ink remains in the ink tanks. Checking Ink Level • If the Alarm lamp lights or flashes, see An Error Occurs. • Changing settings on the computer may improve the print result.
After deep print head cleaning, print and examine the nozzle check pattern: Step1 If the problem is not resolved after performing step 4, perform ink flush. Ink flush consumes a great amount of ink. Frequent ink flush can rapidly consume ink, so perform ink flush only when necessary. Important • If ink flush is performed when the remaining ink level is insufficient, it may cause a failure. Be sure to check the remaining ink level before performing ink flush.
Printing the Nozzle Check Pattern Print the nozzle check pattern to determine whether the ink ejects properly from the print head nozzle. Note • If the remaining ink level is low, the nozzle check pattern will not be printed correctly. If the remaining ink level is low, refill ink tanks. You need to prepare: a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper 1. Make sure that the power is turned on. 2. Load a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper on the rear tray. 3.
Examining the Nozzle Check Pattern Examine the nozzle check pattern, and clean the print head if necessary. 1. Check if there are missing lines in the pattern (A) or horizontal white streaks in the pattern (B).
Cleaning the Print Head Clean the print head if lines are missing or if horizontal white streaks are present in the printed nozzle check pattern. Cleaning unclogs the nozzles and restores the print head condition. Cleaning the print head consumes ink, so clean the print head only when necessary. 1. Make sure that the power is turned on. 2. Press and hold RESUME/CANCEL button and release it when Alarm lamp flashes 1 time. The printer starts cleaning the print head.
Cleaning Cleaning Exterior Surfaces Cleaning Inside the Printer (Bottom Plate Cleaning) 53
Cleaning Inside the Printer (Bottom Plate Cleaning) Remove stains caused by ink from the inside of the printer. To prevent a printed paper from staining with ink, we recommend performing cleaning regularly. You need to prepare: a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper* * Be sure to use a new piece of paper. 1. Make sure that the power is turned on. 2. Prepare paper. 1. Fold a single sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper in half widthwise, then unfold the paper. 2.
Important • Be sure to turn off the power and unplug the power cord before cleaning the printer. This can cause trouble with the printer.
