Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions
Please read the safety warnings and cautions provided in this manual to ensure that you
use the printer safely. Do not attempt to use the printer in any way not described in this
manual.
Warning
You may cause an electric shock/fire or damage the printer if you ignore
any of these safety precautions.
Choosing a location

Safety Precautions
Never plug the printer into a power socket that is shared with other
equipment (extension cord, double adapter, etc.).
Never use the printer if the power cord is bundled or knotted.
If you detect smoke, unusual smells or strange noises around the printer, immediately
unplug the printer at the power supply and call for service.
Periodically unplug the printer and use a dry cloth to wipe off any
dust or dirt that has collected on the plug and power outlet. If the
printer is placed in a location exposed to a lot of dust, smoke or high
humidity, the dust that has collected on the plug may absorb
moisture and cause insulation failure and fire.
Cleaning the printer
Use a damp cloth to clean the printer. Never use flammable solvents
such as alcohol, benzene or thinners.
If flammable solvents come in contact with electrical components inside the
printer, it could cause a fire or electric shock.
Always unplug the printer from the power outlet before cleaning the printer.

The low ink warning notifies you of low ink levels during printing. The Low Ink Warning has

What is Low Ink Warning?
Reset the ink counter for the ink tank installed.
When ink becomes low...
The low ink warning alerts.
When you install a new ink tank...
When you reset the ink counter, the counter will assume that the ink tank is full, regardless
of how much ink actually remains. Resetting the counter on a new ink tank is the only way
to match the counter value with the actual ink volume, so you should only enable the low ink
warning and reset the ink counter when installing a new ink tank.

How to Display Low Ink Warning Correctly
Reset the ink counter every time you install a new ink tank.
The ink counter is only accurate when synchronized with the actual ink level.
To synchronize the counter with the actual ink level, the ink counter must be set only
immediately after installing a new ink tank.
Do not reset the ink counter for an ink tank in use.
This would disrupt synchronization between the counter and the actual ink level.
Note
Ink counters for black and color ink tanks work independently of each
other. However, both start counting at the time you enable the low ink
warning. If you did not reset the counter for a specific ink tank when it was
first installed, the low ink warning may not function correctly for that tank.
Do not reset the ink counter until you install a new ink tank. Also note that
the counter for each ink tank must be started separately.
Refer to "Low Ink Warning Displays Ink Tank with '?'" if the ink tanks and
counters are not synchronized.

Printed Surface is Scratched
Ensure that you are using suitable paper.
The paper weight must be less than 28 lb. (105 g/m

).
If you use non-Canon brand paper heavier than 28 lb. (105 g/m
2
), the print head may
scratch the printed surface.
Clean the print head first and print with the correct paper.
The paper must not be curled.
This problem can be resolved by turning the paper over.
Before starting Borderless Printing, check the paper that you are using.
With Borderless Printing, the print quality may decrease or smudging may occur at the
top and bottom edges of the paper. Use Photo Paper Pro, Glossy Photo Paper, Photo
Paper Plus Glossy or Matte Photo Paper. If smudging still occurs, set the paper
thickness lever to the right and try printing again.
When printing on thick paper, set the paper thickness lever to the right.
This widens a gap between the print head and the paper. If the paper is scratched even
when printing on plain paper, also try this. A message will display saying that the position
of the lever is incorrect. Ignore the message and continue printing.

Troubleshooting
Printing Stops Before It is Completed
Check the status of the POWER lamp.
When the POWER lamp is flashing green, the printer is processing data. Printing a large
amount of data, such as a photos or graphics, takes time for the computer to process the
data, during which the printer may appear to not be functioning.
In addition, when continuously printing material that uses a large amount of black ink on
plain paper, the printer will sometimes pause. In either case, wait until the processing is
complete.
Halt the print job and turn the printer off for at least 15 minutes to cool the print
head down.
The print head can overheat when continuously printing for long time. To protect the print
head, the printer will sometimes pause automatically at a line break before resuming.
In this event, interrupt the print job at a convenient time and turn the printer off for at least
15 minutes.
Furthermore, when continuously printing graphics or photos with intense colors, printing
may stop to protect the print head. In this case, printing will not resume. Turn the printer
off and wait at least 15 minutes before turning the printer on again.
Caution
The area around the print head inside the printer can become extremely
hot. Do not touch the print head or nearby components.
