Caution About Using Refilled Ink Tanks for This
Printer
The ink tanks specified for use with this printer are provided with an ink
level detection function to prevent the tanks from running out of ink during
printing and to prevent damage to the printhead.
When using refilled ink tanks, the printer cannot detect the ink level and stop
printing due to ink shortage. If you use such ink tanks, then the ink level
detection function must be switched off.
Printing with the ink level detection function switched off could damage the
printer, especially the printhead, or could cause the printer to operate
abnormally in other ways. Canon is not responsible for damages or injuries
caused by such actions.
z Once the ink level detection feature is switched off, the ink level detection
information cannot be recovered. If you want to display the ink level
detection information, you must switch the ink level detection function on
and then install new ink tanks specified for use with this printer.
z Repeatedly removing the same ink tanks from the printer could cause ink to
leak from the tank and damage the printer.
