order shown in (1) in step 4, as failure to follow this step may
cause the ink to leak and stain your clothes and hands.

z Do not touch the electrical contacts on the ink tank. Doing so can

cause the printer to malfunction or become unable to print.

z Do not squeeze the side of ink tanks as this may cause the ink to

leak out and stain your clothes and hands.

z Do not re-attach the protective cap once you have removed it.
z Do not touch the open ink port once the protective cap is

removed, as this may prevent the ink from being ejected
properly.

z Ink on the removed protective cap may stain your clothes and

hands.

z Ensure that all the orange tape has been peeled off along the

perforation. If there remains a part of the orange tape, ink may
not be ejected correctly.

The ink tank installation process is now complete.

z The ALARM lamp still flashes orange after the Top Cover is closed if an

ink tank is not installed properly. Open the Top Cover and make sure
that all the ink tanks are installed in the correct order directed on the
label.

z To maintain optimal print quality, use an ink tank within six months of

its first use.

z Once an ink tank has been used, do not remove it from the printer and

leave it out in the open. This will cause the ink tank to dry out and the
printer may not operate properly if it is reinstalled.

z Color ink consumption may occur even when black-and-white or

grayscale printing is specified.
Color ink is consumed in the head cleaning and deep cleaning, which
are necessary to maintain the printer’s capabilities.

z When you start printing after replacing the ink tank, the printer

executes Print Head Cleaning automatically. Do not perform any other
operations until the Print Head Cleaning finishes. The POWER lamp
flashes green during cleaning.

When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors are Incorrect

When printing becomes faint or colors are incorrect, even if ink remains in the ink tanks, the
Print Head nozzles are probably clogged. Follow the procedures below to clean the nozzles.

If the ruled lines are shifted after running the print head maintenance, align the Print Head.

Before printing the nozzle check pattern or cleaning the Print Head, check the
following;

z Open the Top Cover and make sure that all the ink tanks click into place and

then their ink lamps light red.
If any one of the ink lamps is flashing slowly, the associated ink tank is

running low. You can continue printing, but we recommend preparing a new
ink tank to replace the associated ink tank.

If any one of the ink lamps is flashing quickly, the associated ink tank is
empty. Replace the ink tank. See “Replacing Ink Tanks” on page 41.

If an ink lamp is flashing even though ink remains in that ink tank, it is
inserted in the wrong position. Make sure that the correct ink tank color is
inserted in each position referring to the color guide on the print head lock
lever. See “Replacing an Ink Tank” on page 36.

If any one of the ink lamps is unlit, press the mark on the ink tank to fully
insert it. Make sure that all packaging material is peeled off the ink tank. See

“Replacing Ink Tanks” on page 41.

z Increase the Print Quality setting in the printer driver settings.

Check to see if the paper you are printing on is too thick, too heavy, or curled.
See “Print Media to Avoid” on page 4.
Flatten paper when it is curled.

Follow the steps described below to clean the Paper Feed Rollers.
Cleaning the Paper Feed Rollers consumes them, so perform this procedure only

when necessary.

1. Ensure that the printer is on and there is no paper loaded in the printer.

2. Hold down the RESUME/CANCEL button and release after the POWER lamp
flashes green three times.

The Paper Feed Rollers will rotate as they clean.

3. Repeat step 2 twice.

4. Load three or more sheets of Letter-sized plain paper lengthways in the Auto
Sheet Feeder.

5. Hold down the RESUME/CANCEL button and release after the POWER lamp
flashes green three times.
Paper is fed and output.

6. Repeat step 5 three times.

If repeating this procedure three times or more does not solve the problem,
contact the Customer Care Center.

Always load paper in the portrait orientation in the Auto Sheet Feeder or Front Tray
regardless of the print direction selected in the printer driver.

Ensure that paper is loaded correctly. When loading paper in the Auto Sheet
Feeder, slide the Paper Guide against the paper stack. See “Loading Paper” on
page 4.

Depending on the environment in which it is used (high temperature/high
humidity/low temperature/low humidity), some types of plain paper may not feed
correctly.

If this happens, reduce the number of pages loaded to about the half the
recommended maximum (stack approx. 5 mm or 0.2 inches high).

If you are using art paper that is not produced by Canon, ensure that the paper is
200 gsm (53 lb) or less.

Printing cannot be done from the Auto Sheet Feeder if the paper is too heavy.
Check the paper’s package for information on its weight. If it is more than 200 gsm
(53 lb), load it in the Front Tray.

Be careful not to touch the components inside the printer at this
time.

2. Reload the paper into the printer, and press the RESUME/CANCEL button on the
printer.

• Set the Paper Guide correctly when printing from the Auto Sheet Feeder. The

paper may not feed properly if the Paper Guide is not set correctly.
See step (3) in “Load the paper.” on page 6.

• If you have turned off the printer in step 1, you will need to try printing again,

because this operation cancels any print jobs in progress.

When reloading the paper into the printer, refer to “Paper Does Not

Feed Properly” on page 71 to confirm that you are using the correct

paper and are loading it into the printer correctly.

If you cannot remove the paper or the paper tears inside the printer, or if the

Troubleshooting

z PictBridge-compatible digital cameras can be connected to your printer for

Direct Printing.

z This section describes errors that are indicated on Canon-brand PictBridge-

compatible cameras. The error messages and operations may vary
depending on the camera you are using.
For errors on non-Canon PictBridge-compatible cameras, check the status of
ALARM lamp and take the appropriate action to clear the error. For details,
see “Handling Error Messages” on page 73.

z Connecting a digital camera not compatible with PictBridge makes the

ALARM lamp on your printer flash (in orange) nine times. In such a case,
unplug the cable connecting the camera to the printer to clear the error.

z A communication time out occurs if printing takes a long time or if it takes too

much time to send data. This may stop printing. In such a case, disconnect
the cable between the printer and the camera, and reconnect it. Then, turn
the camera on, if it does not automatically turn on. If the problem is still
unresolved, select some other photo and check if it can be printed or not.

z Depending on the model or brand of your device, you may have to select a

print mode compliant with PictBridge before connecting the device.
You may also have to turn on the device or select Play mode manually after
connecting the device to the printer.
Perform necessary operations according to the instruction manual supplied
with your device.

z The print head nozzles may be clogged if printing becomes faint or colors are

incorrect. See “When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors are Incorrect” on page

45.

z If the paper is curled or its surface is scratched during printing, make sure

that you are using the correct type of paper. If this error occurs even when
you are using the correct type of paper, enable the Prevent paper abrasion
setting. See “Print Results Not Satisfactory or Contains Errors” on page 65.

z For the errors indicated on the camera and their solution, also refer to the

user’s manual of the camera. For other troubles on the digital camera,
contact the manufacturer.
