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 the Black button or the Color button for more than 5 seconds.
Changing the remaining ink level notification setting Notes on ink bottles Important • Keep out of reach of children. • Do not drink ink. • Be careful not to get any ink in your eyes or in your mouth. (In case of eye contact or swallowing, • • • • • • • • • • rinse with water and contact a doctor immediately). When you store ink bottles, close bottle caps completely and place bottles in standing position. If the ink bottles are laid down, 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 72
If Printing Is Faint or Uneven Maintenance Procedure Printing the Nozzle Check Pattern Examining the Nozzle Check Pattern Cleaning the Print Head Deep Print Head Cleaning Aligning the Print Head 73
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.
Deep Print Head Cleaning From the computer Deep Cleaning 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.
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 the Setup button. The (Setup) icon and "1" appear on the LCD. 3. Press the + button until "2" appears on the LCD. 4. Press the Black button or the Color button.
Deep Print Head Cleaning If print quality does not improve by the standard cleaning of the print head, clean the print head deeply. Cleaning the print head deeply consumes more ink than the standard cleaning of the print head, so clean the print head deeply only when necessary. 1. Make sure that the power is turned on. 2. Press the Setup button. The (Setup) icon and "1" appear on the LCD. 3. Press the + button until "3" appears on the LCD. 4. Press the Black button or the Color button.
Aligning the Print Head If printed ruled lines are misaligned or print results are otherwise unsatisfactory, adjust the print head position. Note • If the remaining ink level is low, the print head alignment sheet 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 (including recycled paper)* * Be sure to use paper that is white and clean on both sides. 1. Make sure that the power is turned on. 2.
Important • Do not touch any printed part on the print head alignment sheet. If the sheet is stained or wrinkled, it may not be scanned properly. • If the print head alignment sheet was not printed correctly, press the Stop button, then redo this procedure from the beginning. 7. Load the print head alignment sheet on the platen glass. Load the print head alignment sheet WITH THE PRINTED SIDE FACING DOWN and align the mark on the bottom right corner of the sheet with the alignment mark 81 .
8. Close the document cover gently, then press the Black button or the Color button. The printer starts scanning the print head alignment sheet, and the print head position will be adjusted automatically. The print head position adjustment will be complete when the ON lamp lights after flashing. Remove the print head alignment sheet on the platen glass. Important • Do not open the document cover or move the print head alignment sheet on the platen glass until adjusting the print head position is complete.
Cleaning Cleaning Exterior Surfaces Cleaning the Platen Glass and Document Cover Cleaning Paper Feed Rollers Cleaning Inside the Printer (Bottom Plate Cleaning) 83
Cleaning Paper Feed Rollers If the paper feed rollers are dirty or paper powder is attached to it, paper may not be fed properly. In this case, clean the paper feed rollers. You need to prepare: three sheets of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper 1. Make sure that the power is turned on. 2. Remove any paper from the rear tray. 3. Clean the paper feed rollers without paper. 1. Press the Setup button. The (Setup) icon and "1" appear on the LCD. 2. Press the + button until "8" appears on the LCD. 3.
3. Turn on the power, then clean the paper feed rollers again. If the problem is still not resolved, contact your nearest Canon service center to request a repair.
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.
Note • When performing Bottom Plate Cleaning again, be sure to use a new piece of paper.
