Replacing a FINE Cartridge  
This section explains the way to confirm the ink status and the procedure to replace FINE  
Cartridges.  
When ink runs out or other errors occur, an error message is displayed on the LCD to inform you of  
the error. See “An Error Message Is Displayed on the LCD” on page 57 and confirm how to handle it.  
When printing from your computer, error messages appear on your computer screen as well.  
Note  
z If there is no improvement with the quality of printing following such maintenance as Print Head  
Cleaning, a FINE Cartridge is probably empty. When ink runs out, replace the FINE Cartridge.  
The machine cannot print if the wrong type of FINE Cartridge is used.  
z For information on compatible FINE Cartridges, see the back cover of this guide.  
Getting the Ink Status Information  
Note  
The ink level detector is mounted on the machine to detect the remaining ink level. The machine  
considers as ink is full when a new FINE Cartridge is installed, and then starts to detect a  
remaining ink level. If you install a used FINE Cartridge, the indicated ink level of it may not be  
correct. In such case, refer to the ink level information only as a guide.  
You can check the current ink level by pressing the COPY button, the SCAN button, or the  
MEMORY CARD button. The LCD will display the ink level for a few seconds.  
(A)  
(A) Indicates the remaining ink volume.  
z When ink is low  
Ink is low. You can continue printing for a while, but we  
recommend you to have a new FINE Cartridge available.  
z When ink has run out  
An error message may appear on the LCD while printing.  
Ink has run out. See “The ink has run out. Replace the ink  
cartridge. U163” in “An Error Message Is Displayed on the LCD”  
on page 57 and take appropriate action.  
Note  
You can also confirm the ink level on the LCD that is displayed while printing is being performed.  
46  
Routine Maintenance  
Replacing FINE Cartridges  
When FINE Cartridges run out of ink, replace them using the following steps.  
Important  
Handling FINE Cartridges  
z Do not touch the electrical contacts or Print Head Nozzles on a FINE Cartridge. The machine  
may not print out properly if you touch it.  
(A)  
(B)  
(A) Electrical Contacts  
(B) Print Head Nozzles  
z To maintain optimal printing quality, we recommend the use of specified Canon brand FINE  
Cartridges.  
Refilling ink is not recommended.  
z Once you remove a FINE Cartridge, replace it immediately. Do not leave the machine with FINE  
Cartridges removed.  
z Replace empty cartridges with new ones. If you insert FINE Cartridges that has been removed  
once, the machine may not print out properly due to some reasons such as clogging of the  
nozzles.  
Furthermore, with such cartridges, the Low Ink Warning may not be displayed properly.  
z Once a FINE Cartridge has been installed, do not remove it from the machine and leave it out in  
the open. This will cause the FINE Cartridge to dry out, and the machine may not operate  
properly when it is reinstalled. To maintain optimal printing quality, use a FINE Cartridge within  
six months of first use.  
Note  
z If a FINE Cartridge runs out of ink, you can print with either Color or Black FINE Cartridge, in  
whichever ink remains, only for a while. However the print quality may be reduced compared to  
when printing with both cartridges. Canon recommends to use new FINE cartridges in order to  
obtain optimum qualities.  
Even when printing with one ink only, print with leaving the empty FINE Cartridge installed. If  
either of the Color FINE Cartridge or Black FINE Cartridge is not installed, an error occurs and  
the machine cannot print.  
For information on how to configure this setting, refer to the PC Printing Guide on-screen  
manual.  
z Color ink may be consumed even when printing a black-and-white document or when black-and  
white printing is specified.  
Color ink is also consumed in Print Head Cleaning and Print Head Deep Cleaning, which may  
be necessary to maintain the machine’s performance.

Routine Maintenance  
Keeping the Best Printing Results  
To avoid drying of the Print Head and clogging of the nozzles, note the following.  
Note  
z Ink may blur depending on the paper in the following cases:  
– Printed area is traced with a highlight pen or paint-stick, or  
– Printed area is stained with water or sweat.  
z If the print head nozzles get clogged, printouts will become faint or particular colors will not be printed  
properly. For details, see “When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors Are Incorrect” on page 38.  
When You Turn Off the Machine  
Follow the procedure below to turn off the machine.  
(1) Press the ON/OFF button to turn off the machine.  
(2) Confirm that the Power lamp has gone out.  
This takes a few seconds or as long as around 30 seconds.  
(3) Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.  
If you are using a power outlet strip, you can switch it off instead.  
When you press the ON/OFF button to turn off the machine, the machine automatically puts a  
protective cap on the Print Head to prevent the ink from drying. If you remove the power cord or  
switch off the power outlet strip before the Power lamp goes out, this capping will not be done  
properly, causing the Print Head to dry and clog.  
When You Are Not Using the Machine for a Long Time  
When you are not using the machine for a long time, print or copy in both black & white and in  
color, or perform Print Head Cleaning, about once a month to prevent degradation of the Print  
Head.  
Numerous nozzles are installed in the Print Head for high-precision printing. Just as the  
uncapped tip of a ballpoint pen or marker becomes dry and unusable if it is not used for a long  
period of time, the print head nozzles become blocked by dried ink. Periodically printing or  
cleaning the Print Head can prevent this blockage.

Troubleshooting  
Print Results Not Satisfactory  
If the print result is not satisfactory such as white streaks, misaligned lines, and uneven colors,  
confirm the paper and print quality settings first.  
z Check 1: Do the page size and media type settings match the size and  
type of the loaded paper?  
When these settings are incorrect, you cannot obtain a proper print result. If you are printing a  
photograph or an illustration, incorrect paper type setting may reduce the quality of printout color.  
Also, if you print with an incorrect paper type setting, the printed surface may be scratched. In  
borderless printing, uneven coloring may occur depending on the combination of the paper type  
setting and the loaded paper.  
z Check 2: Did you set the print quality setting appropriately?  
Select a print quality option suitable to the paper and image for printing. If you notice blurs or  
uneven colors, increase the print quality setting and try printing again.  
* When printing from a PictBridge compliant device, set the print quality setting by using the  
Operation Panel on the machine. You cannot make this setting from a PictBridge compliant  
device.  
* You cannot change the print quality setting when printing from a wireless communication  
device.

even for the types of paper to set the lever to the left. In this case, set the Paper  
Thickness Lever to the right.  
* Reset the Paper Thickness Lever to the left when you finish printing. If the  
lever is not set back to the left, the inside of the machine is more likely to get  
dirty due to the wider clearance between the print head and the loaded paper. It  
may also reduce print quality.  
Print Head is misaligned.  
If you did not align the Print Head after installation, straight lines may be printed

on page 53.  
Inside of the machine is dirty.  
When performing duplex printing, if the specified page size does not match the  
actual size of paper loaded in the paper source, the inside will become stained  
with ink, causing printed paper to become smudged.  
Perform the Bottom Plate Cleaning to clean the inside of the machine.  
For details on cleaning, see “Cleaning the Inside of the Machine (Bottom plate  
cleaning)” on page 54.

Guide on-screen manual.  
Paper is curled.  
For Plain Paper  
Turn the paper over and reload it to print on the other side.  
Leaving the paper loaded in the Rear Tray for a long time may cause the paper  
to curl. If this happens, load the paper with the other side facing up. It may  
resolve the problem.  
We recommend putting unused paper back into the package and keep them on  
a level surface.  
For Other Paper  
If you are using paper with either any of the corners or the whole printing  
surface curled, the paper may become dirty, not feed properly, or both. Use such  
paper after correcting paper curl as follows.  
(1)With the printing side (A) facing up, cover the paper with a fresh sheet of  
plain paper to avoid staining or scratching the surface.  
(2)Roll up the paper in a direction opposite to paper curl as seen below.

We recommend printing curl-corrected paper one sheet at a time.  
Note  
Depending on the media type, the paper may be smudged or may not be fed  
properly even if it is not curled.  
In such case, follow the procedure described above in “For Other Paper” to curl  
the paper before printing.
