If a warning appears that ink is running low or an error occurs, the ink lamp and the Alarm lamp will flash to indicate the error. In such a case, it is not possible to print or scan on the printer. Count the number of flashes and, according to the printer manual, determine what problem it is.

If you have run out of ink, nothing could be easier than buying a new one from us and starting the replacement according to this easy guide.

 

1) Make sure that the printer is turned on.

 

2) Lift the cover (scanner) and wait until the print head moves to the center of the printer. Do not stop the print head holder with your hand or move it.

 

 

It is now possible to remove the Canon ink cartridges. Replace the color that is running low.

3) Press the latch on the cartridge and remove the cartridge upwards.

 

WARNING If you remove the cartridge, immediately insert a new cartridge. Do not leave the printer without the cartridge inserted. 

 

4) Prepare a new Canon cartridge and remove its protective elements.

Tear off the strip at the top and remove the protective film.

 

Hold the ink tank so that the protective cap (E) is facing upward. Be careful not to cover the Y-shaped vent hole (D). Then remove the protective cap (E).

  

WARNING: Never touch the electronic contacts on the ink cartridge.

 

5) You can now insert a new cartridge into the printer. Make sure to insert the correct color into the correct position.

 

  

 

6) You can now close the printer cover (scanner)

 

And it's done. You managed everything and can happily print :-)

We wish you many beautifully printed photographs, texts, invoices, or anything else.
