Printing Maintenance Printing Maintenance Printing Maintenance Printing Maintenance When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors are Incorrect When printing becomes faint or colors are incorrect, the print head nozzles are probably clogged. Follow the procedures below to clean the nozzles. Before Performing Maintenance Remove the FINE Cartridge once, then insert it into place again.
Printing the Nozzle Check Pattern Print the nozzle check pattern to determine whether the ink ejects properly from the print head nozzles. Use this function when printed results are blurred or the colors are incorrect. With the printer on, load a sheet of A4/Letter-sized plain paper in the auto sheet feeder.
Print Head Cleaning If white stripes are found in the printed nozzle check pattern, perform the print head cleaning to unclog the print head nozzles. Cleaning the print head consumes ink, so perform the print head cleaning only when necessary. Ensure that the printer is on.
Print Head Deep Cleaning If print quality does not improve by the standard print head cleaning, try print head deep cleaning, which is a more powerful cleaning process. Print head deep cleaning consumes more ink than standard print head cleaning, so perform this procedure only when necessary.
Replacing a FINE Cartridge Replacing a FINE Cartridge Replacing a FINE Cartridge Replacing a FINE Cartridge If there is no improvement with the quality of printing following such maintenance as print head cleaning, a FINE Cartridge is probably empty. Replace the empty FINE Cartridge with a new one. When replacing a FINE Cartridge, check the model number very carefully.
Page 45
Prepare a replacement FINE Cartridge. ∗ Protective tape ∗ To the FINE Cartridge holder Unpack a new FINE Cartridge and remove the orange protective tape gently. Do not reattach the protective tape once you have removed it. Handle the removed protective tape carefully to avoid getting your hands dirty or staining surrounding work area.
Page 46
See “Aligning the Print Head - Auto head align” on page 39. To maintain optimal print quality, we recommend that you use Canon brand FINE Cartridge. Replenishing ink only is also not recommended. Replace the FINE Cartridge promptly. Do not leave the FINE Cartridge removed.
What is Low Ink Warning? The low ink warning is that the ink counter counts a remaining level of ink and tells you that FINE Cartridges are running out of ink before printing. The ink counter considers as ink is full when new FINE Cartridge is installed, and then starts counting a remaining level of ink.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Let’s take a look at countermeasures against troubles which may occur during use of the printer. Here, we will discuss errors indicated on the LCD, problems that might occur during direct printing from the digital camera. If you cannot find the symptom corresponding to a certain problem, refer to the User’s Guide .

Canon recommends that you call for service as soon as this error occurs. Once the waste ink absorber becomes completely full, printing cannot be performed until the Waste ink tank is replaced.
