Aligning the ink bottle's tip with the printer's inlet (G), slowly stand the bottle upside down, and push the bottle into the inlet.
Page 94
Important • Make sure that each color of ink tanks is filled with corresponding color of ink bottles. • If ink is not injected into the ink tank, slowly remove and insert the ink bottle. • Make sure to refill the ink tank with ink up to the upper limit line (H) on the ink tank. 8.
Page 95
• Ink may stain clothes or other belongings permanently. Washing may not remove ink stains. • Do not use ink bottles and ink contained therein except to refill tanks of printers specified by Canon. • Do not leave ink bottles in areas exposed to high temperature, such as near fire or a heater or in a car.
Page 96
Note • Color ink may be consumed even when printing a black-and-white document or when black-and- white printing is specified. Every ink is also consumed in the standard cleaning and deep cleaning of the print head, which may be necessary to maintain the performance of the printer. When ink runs low, promptly refill it.
Checking Ink Level Check ink level with the ink tank indicator on the front of the printer. When ink reaches the upper limit line (A), ink is full. When ink is near the lower limit line (B), ink is running low. Refill the ink tank. Note •...
Therefore, the page yield of the initial bundled set of ink bottles is lower than that of the subsequent sets of bottles. To keep printer's performance, Canon printer performs cleaning automatically according to its condition. When the printer performs cleaning, a small amount of ink is consumed.

Check if there are missing lines in the pattern A or horizontal white streaks in the pattern B. If there are missing lines in the pattern A: C: Good D: Bad (lines are missing) If there are horizontal white streaks in the pattern B:...
Cleaning the Print Head Clean the print head if lines are missing or if horizontal white streaks are present in the printed nozzle check pattern. Cleaning unclogs the nozzles and restores the print head condition. Cleaning the print head consumes ink, so clean the print head only when necessary. Check that printer is turned on.
Deep Print Head Cleaning If print quality does not improve by the standard cleaning of the print head, clean the print head deeply. Cleaning the print head deeply consumes more ink than the standard cleaning of the print head, so clean the print head deeply only when necessary.
Aligning the Print Head If printed ruled lines are misaligned or print results are otherwise unsatisfactory, adjust the print head position. Note • If the remaining ink level is low, the print head alignment sheet will not be printed correctly. If the remaining ink level is low, refill ink tanks.
