described on p. 11-2:

Guidelines
CAUTION
Keep the printhead and ink tanks out of the reach of children. If a child inadvertently ingests ink,
consult a physician immediately.
Damage caused by using refilled ink tanks is not covered by Canon’s warranty. To ensure
optimum printing results and to avoid printing problems, Canon recommends using original
Canon ink tank only.
Ink tanks compatible with the machine are as follows:
Replaced ink tanks should be new. If you install partially used ink tanks, the nozzles may block
and the ink tank replacement warning may not be accurate.
For best ink quality, use ink tanks within one year of purchase. After placing ink tanks in the
machine, use the ink tanks within six months.
Do not open the ink tank packaging until ready to install.
Do not touch printed paper with wet hands or spill liquids on it as the ink may run.
Replace ink tanks quickly and do not leave them out in the open. Doing so may cause the ink
tank not to function properly when reinstalled in the machine.
