Cautions About Using Refilled Ink Tanks for This Printer
Ink tanks specified for use with the printer provide an ink
level detection function where the printer can detect when
ink runs out during printing to prevent damage to the
printhead.
If you use a refilled ink tank, the ink level detection function
will no longer function correctly, and the printer will halt
when ink runs out. Before you can use tanks like this, you
must switch off the ink level detection function.
If you print with the ink level detection switched off, this
could damage the printer (especially the printhead) or
cause other problems. Canon, Inc. can assume no
responsibility for damages caused by using ink tanks not
designed for use with the printer.
Caution
z Once the ink level detection function is switched off,
the ink level detection function cannot be recovered for
the ink tanks in the printer. To recover the ink level
display, the ink tanks must be replaced with new ink
tanks designed for use with the printer.
z If the same ink tank is repeatedly removed and
reinserted, this could damage the connection points
between the ink tank and the printer, leading to ink
leakage which could damage the printer.
