When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors Are Incorrect

If print results are blurred or colors are not printed correctly, the print head nozzles (FINE Cartridges) are
probably clogged. Follow the procedure below to print the nozzle check pattern, check the print head

Ink

lamp will start flashing.

Make sure which FINE Cartridge has run out of ink and replace it with a new one.

Note

For information on the compatible FINE Cartridges, refer to the printed manual:

Getting Started

.

Replacing Procedure

When FINE Cartridges run out of ink, follow the procedure below to replace them.

Important

Handling FINE Cartridges

Do not touch the electrical contacts (A) or print head nozzles (B) on the FINE Cartridge. The

machine may not print properly if you touch it.

To maintain optimal print quality, we recommend the use of specified Canon brand FINE Cartridges.

Refilling the ink is not recommended.

If you remove a FINE Cartridge, replace it immediately. Do not leave the machine with FINE

Cartridges removed.

Use new FINE Cartridges for replacement. Installing used FINE Cartridges may cause the nozzles to

clog.
Furthermore, with such cartridges, the machine will not be able to inform you when to replace the
cartridges properly.

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

If a FINE Cartridge runs out of ink, you can print with either Color or Black FINE Cartridge, in

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 on-screen manual:

Color ink may be consumed even when printing a black-and-white document or when black-and-

Both color ink and black ink are also consumed in the standard cleaning and deep cleaning of the
Print Head, which may be necessary to maintain the machine's performance. When ink runs out,

replace the FINE Cartridge immediately with a new one.

.

1.

Make sure that the power is turned on, and open the Paper Output Tray.

2. Lift the Scanning Unit (Cover), then hold it open with the Scanning Unit Support (C).

The FINE Cartridge Holder moves to the replacement position.

Caution

Do not hold the FINE Cartridge Holder to stop or move it forcibly. Do not touch the FINE

Cartridge Holder until it stops completely.

Page 67 of 678 pagesReplacing a FINE Cartridge

Important

The inside of the machine may be stained with ink. Be careful not to stain your hands or

clothing when replacing FINE Cartridges. You can easily wipe off the ink from the inside of the

machine with tissue paper or the like.
For details on the cleaning, refer to the printed manual:

Do not place any object on the Document Cover. It will fall into the Rear Tray when the

Document Cover is opened and cause the machine to malfunction.
When opening the Scanning Unit (Cover), lift it with the Document Cover closed.
Do not touch the metallic parts or other parts inside the machine.
If the Scanning Unit (Cover) is left open, the FINE Cartridge Holder moves to the right. In this

case, close and reopen the Scanning Unit (Cover).

Tips on How to Use Your Machine

This section introduces the tips on how to use your machine and for printing with optimal quality.

Ink is used for various purposes.

How is ink used for various purposes other than printing?

Ink may be used for purposes other than printing. Ink is not only used for printing, but also for
cleaning the Print Head to maintain the optimal printing quality.
The machine has the function to automatically clean the ink jet nozzles to prevent clogging. In the
cleaning procedure, ink is pumped out from the nozzles. Used ink for nozzle cleaning is limited to a

small amount.

Does black-and-white printing use color ink?

Black-and-white printing may use color ink depending on the type of printing paper or the settings of
the printer driver. So, color ink is consumed even when printing in black-and-white.

Printing on special paper: How to print with optimal quality!?

Tip!: Check the machine status before printing!

Is the Print Head OK?

If print head nozzles are clogged, print will be faint and papers will be wasted. Print the nozzle
check pattern to check the Print Head.

Print periodically!

Just as the tip of a felt pen becomes dry and unusable if it has not been used for a long time,
even if it is capped, the Print Head too, may become dried or clogged if the machine has not

been used for a long time.

We recommend you to use the machine at least once a month.

Note

Depending on the type of paper, ink may blur if you trace the printed area with a highlight pen or

paint-stick, or bleed if water or sweat comes in contact with the printed area.

Colors are uneven, and print results are blurred.

Tip!: Print the nozzle check pattern to check if the nozzles are

clogged.

If the print head nozzles are clogged, colors may become uneven or the print results may be blurred.

In this case

Tips on How to Use Your Machine
