Be sure to reset the ink counter using the following procedure when changing the Ink

Tank.

Notes

• To maintain optimal print quality, use an Ink Tank within six months of its first use.

• Once an Ink Tank has been used, do not remove it from the printer and leave it out in

the open. This will cause the Ink Tank to dry out and the printer may not function

properly if it is reinstalled.

• Color ink is consumed in the cleaning and deep cleaning, which are necessary to

maintain the printer’s capabilities.

• When an Ink Tank runs out of ink, replace the Ink Tank with a new one immediately.

• If printing is continued with no ink in the Ink Tank, a problem may occur.

(1) Unpack a new Ink Tank and remove the orange

protective cap.

Dispose of the protective cap.

Important

• Do not reattach the protective cap once you have

removed it.

How Low Ink Warning Works

The low ink warning notifies you of low ink levels during printing. The Low Ink

Warning has been preset to be automatically displayed.

When you reset the ink counter, it will assume that the Ink Tank is full

regardless of how much ink actually remains. The reset is the only way to

match the counter value with an actual ink volume. Reset the ink counter when

installing a new Ink Tank.

(1) Check the message, select Yes and then press

the OK button.

This returns the ink level of the ink counter full.

If you select No after replacing the Ink Tank,

select Ink counter reset from Tool box to reset

the ink counter. Failing to reset the ink counter

may result in the low ink warning displaying

incorrectly.

Printing Maintenance

Low Ink Warning Display

How to Display Low Ink Warning Correctly

• Reset the ink counter every time you install a new Ink Tank.

The ink counter cannot work correctly unless you synchronize it with the

actual ink level. The ink counter can only be adjusted when it is reset at the

time a new Ink Tank is installed.

• Do not reset the ink counter of an Ink Tank in use.

Synchronization of the counter and the actual ink level will not work

properly.

The '!' shows a low ink level in the Ink Tank.

A new Ink Tank should be prepared.

Important

If you did not reset the counter when you installed the current Ink Tank, the low ink

warning may not function correctly, until the next time you replace the Ink Tank.

Troubleshooting

Cannot Print Properly from the Digital Camera

The following are the possible errors that may occur when printing directly from a

digital still camera or digital video camcorder*, and the countermeasures to

eliminate them.

* Hereafter, the digital still camera and digital video camcorder are collectively

called a digital camera or camera.

Notes

• PictBridge or Canon Bubble Jet Direct compatible digital cameras can be connected

to your printer for direct printing.

• This section describes errors that are indicated on Canon brand PictBridge- or

Bubble Jet Direct-compatible cameras. The error messages and operations may vary

depending on the camera you are using. If you cannot clear the error on your device,

check the error message displayed on the LCD of the printer, and then clear it. For

details, see “An Error Message is Displayed on the LCD” on page 75.

• A communication time out occurs if printing takes a long time or if it takes too much

time to send data. This may stop printing. In such a case, disconnect the cable

between the printer and the camera, and reconnect the cable between the printer

and the camera. Then, turn the camera on, if it does not automatically turn on. If the

problem is still unresolved, select some other photo and check if it can be printed or

not.

• Depending on the model or brand of your device, you may have to select a print

mode compatible with PictBridge before connecting the device. You may also have

to turn on the device or select Play mode manually after connecting the device to the

printer.

Perform necessary operations according to the instruction manual supplied with

your device.

• The Print Head Nozzles may be clogged if printing becomes faint or colors are

incorrect.

See “Printing is Blurred/Colors are Wrong/White Streaks appear” on page 78.

• If the paper is curled or its surface is scratched during printing, make sure that you

are using the correct type of paper.

If this error occurs even when you are using the correct type of paper, slide the

Paper Thickness Lever to the left. See “Printed Surface is Scratched or Ink Blots” on

page 79.

• To disconnect the cable connected between the digital camera and printer, follow

the procedure below.

1 Disconnect the cable from the printer.

2 Turn off the digital camera.

3 Disconnect the cable from the digital camera.

When disconnecting the cable, be sure to hold the connector by its sides.

• For the errors indicated on the camera and their solution, also refer to the user’s

manual of the camera. For other troubles on the digital camera, contact the

manufacturer of the camera.

Troubleshooting

*1To resume printing, you can press the OK button on the printer instead of selecting
