Introduction
IMPORTANT
• To prevent the printhead from drying up, the machine automatically caps it when the power is
turned off with the [ON/OFF (1 sec.)] key. If you need to disconnect the machine from the main
power source (e.g. disconnect the power cord), be sure to turn off the machine first by pressing
[ON/OFF (1 sec.)] before disconnecting it.
• If you are not using the machine for a long period of time, we recommend that you print (in black
and color) or clean the printhead approximately once a month to maintain the printhead in good
working condition. The printhead contains high-precision nozzles that will become blocked if the
printhead is not used for a long period of time.
Chapter 1Introduction1-5
Page 20
NOTE
• The power cannot be turned off when the machine is operating or when the In Use/Memory light is on
or blinking.
• Your machine performs printhead cleaning every time you turn on the machine. This ensures optimum
print quality, but also consumes a small amount of ink during the cleaning process. For this reason, it is
recommended that you always leave your machine turned on, and only turn it off when instructed to do
so in this guide, or when not using the machine for a long period of time (one month or more). This will
avoid unnecessary ink consumption.

Replacing ink tanks
When to replace an ink tank
If one of the following messages appears in the LCD, replace the necessary ink tank(s) as
described on p. 9-2:
If more than one ink tank is empty, several letters may appear (e.g. <C Y INK EMPTY>).
If no message appears but print quality is below standard, refer to the flow chart to determine
the problem ( p. 9-3).
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:
–Black ink tank (BCI-3eBK)– Cyan ink tank (BCI-3eC)
–Magenta ink tank (BCI-3eM)–Yellow ink tank (BCI-3eY)
• 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.

If you can print without any problems using a different memory card, the first memory card may be
damaged. In this case, reformatting the memory card with a digital camera may fix the problem.
However, please note that when you reformat the memory card with a digital camera, all the data will
be deleted. If you can read the image data on the computer, copy the image data to your computer
before reformatting the memory card.

1. Is the machine in photo print mode and the <CARD PROTECT> setting set to <ON>?
Switch to a different mode and set the <CARD PROTECT> setting to <OFF> ( p. 4-9). Then turn the
machine off and on again.
2. If a delayed write failed error is displayed in Windows 2000. Is the machine in photo print mode
and the <CARD PROTECT> setting set to <ON>?
Switch to a different mode and set the <CARD PROTECT> setting to <OFF> ( p. 4-9). Then turn the
machine off and on again.
If you want to enable card protection, set the <CARD PROTECT> setting to <ON> ( p. 4-9). Then turn
the machine off and on again.
CAUTION
• In Windows 2000, if you set the <CARD PROTECT> setting to <ON>, turn the machine off then
on again. If you copy data from the hard disk to the memory card and a delayed write failed
error occurs, the original file may be lost.
3. Have you connected in Windows XP?
The date and time of access is written in the Windows XP preview, and if <CARD PROTECT> is set to <ON>
or photo print mode is selected, a write protect error may be displayed. Turn the machine off then on again.
Removable disk does not appear in Windows Explorer.
This behavior can occur if you map a network drive to the next available drive letter after the local volumes
and CD-ROM drives have been assigned drive letters. Do the following if you experience this problem:
1. Assign the network drive to any other drive letters.
2. Restart your computer.
The [Unplug/Eject] icon does not appear (Windows 2000).
In Windows 2000, the [Unplug/Eject] icon does not appear even when you select [Show Unplug/Eject icon
on the taskbar] in the [Unsafe Removal of Device] dialog box that is displayed when you turn off the machine
or disconnect the USB cable.
You do not need to use the [Unplug/Eject] icon when you turn off the machine or disconnect the USB cable.
The machine does not appear in [Hardware devices] in the [Add/Remove Hardware]
dialog box (Windows 2000).
In Windows 2000, the machine does not appear in [Hardware devices] in the [Select Device to
Unplug] dialog box in [Add/Remove Hardware] of [Control Panel].
In Windows 2000, the [Unsafe Removal of Device] dialog box will appear when you turn off the
machine or disconnect the USB cable, and the message [To safely unplug or eject any of the
following devices, first use the Hardware wizard in the Control Panel to stop the device] will appear.
There is however no need to unplug a device with [Add/Remove Hardware] when you turn off the
machine or disconnect the USB cable.
In Windows Explorer, you cannot display [Thumbnails] (Windows 2000).
In Windows 2000, if you display the contents of a memory card in Windows Explorer, and change the
display to [Thumbnails] on the [View] menu, the images may not display and the computer may
freeze. This is a problem that occurs with USB card readers in general, and not just with this machine.
If you want to change the display to [Thumbnails] in Windows Explorer, set the <CARD PROTECT>
setting to <OFF> ( p. 4-9). Then turn the machine off and on again.
The memory card is recognized as a drive other than [Removable Disk].
Did you start your computer with a memory card inserted in a card slot?
Depending on your computer, this may occur if you start your computer with a memory card
inserted in the machine.
Remove the memory card and restart your computer.

If nothing displays in the LCD (if there is no power)
When you connect the power cord to the machine and wall outlet, and press [ON/OFF (1 sec.)],
the machine powers up and a message is displayed in the LCD.
While the Alarm light blinks, the machine is initializing and you will not be able to use it. Wait
until the Alarm light stops blinking.
If nothing is displayed in the LCD, make the checks in the following order until something is
displayed.
1. Is the power cord correctly connected?
Securely connect the power cord to the machine and wall outlet.
2. Have you pressed [ON/OFF (1 sec.)]?
The machine will power up and the LCD will show a message when you connect the power cord and
press [ON/OFF (1 sec.)].
3. Check that the wall outlet is working normally.
Connect another electrical appliance to the wall outlet and check whether the wall outlet is working
properly.
4. Connect the power cord directly to the wall outlet.
Disconnect the power cord from any table taps, OA taps or extension cords and connect directly to the
wall outlet. If the machine powers up when the power cord is connected directly, the table taps, OA
taps or extension cords are probably defective and should be replaced.
If they have a power switch, turn it on.
5. Check that the power cord is not defective.
Either replace the power cord with another, or using a tester, check whether the cord is defective.
If the power disconnects unexpectedly
User data and speed dialing settings are stored using the internal battery if there is a power
failure or if you accidentally disconnect the power cord. However, all documents stored in
memory will be deleted.
If the power disconnects, the following will apply:
• You will not be able to send or receive faxes, or make copies.
• If a telephone is connected to the machine, you may be able to receive and/or make voice calls
(depending on your telephone).
When power is restored, the MEMORY CLEAR REPORT will be printed automatically listing the documents
deleted from memory. Note however that this report will not be printed if the print media size is set to a
setting other than <A4>, <LTR>, or <LGL>, or if black ink or paper has run out.
