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.

(1) Press the ON 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 plug from the wall outlet.  
If you are using a power outlet strip, you can switch it off instead.  
When you press the ON 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 plug 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.  
If you have not used the machine for a long time, print out the nozzle check pattern to check the  
print head condition before printing. See “Printing the Nozzle Check Pattern” on page 27.

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 Check1: 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 Check2: 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.  
The method to confirm the paper and print quality settings differs depending on what you do with  
your machine.  
To copy by operating the  
machine  
Confirm by using the Operation Panel on the machine. See  
“Making Copies” on page 20.  
To print from a computer  
Confirm by using the printer driver.  
Refer to the PC Printing Guide on-screen manual.

Printing on inappropriate type of paper.  
z Check to see if the paper you are printing on is not too thick or curled.  
See “Media Types You Cannot Use” on page 14 to make sure that the paper  
you are using is suitable.  
If the paper is curled, see “Paper is curled.” on page 51 to correct paper curl.  
z When performing Borderless Printing, print quality may be reduced at the top  
and bottom edges of the paper. Make sure that the paper you are using is  
suitable for Borderless Printing.  
For details, refer to “Printing Area” in the User’s 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.  
(1)

(A)  
(3)Check to see that the paper curl is within approximately 0.08 to 0.2 inches / 2  
to 5 mm (B) in height.  
(A)  
(B)  
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.  
This may improve the print result.  
Inappropriate Paper Thickness Lever  
setting.  
Adjust the position of the Paper Thickness Lever according to the type of paper  
you are printing on.

Depending on the printing content, the printing surface may become scratched  
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.
