The Troubleshooting section of your Canon manual discusses printer operation with
refilled cartridges. Canon advises that "Canon shall not be liable for any printer
malfunction or damage caused by refilled ink tanks. If you want to continue printing with
the refilled ink tank installed, press and hold the RESUME/CANCEL button for at least 5
seconds, and then release it. Using refilled ink tanks are memorized. * This operation
will release the function of detecting the remaining ink level."
*Our iP4200 has been refilled 5 times with no stoppages.
*Installing a new OEM cartridge will reactivate the ink counter for use with the new
cartridge.
