Printing from a PictBridge Compliant Device
You can connect a PictBridge compliant device such  as a digital camera, camcorder, or mobile 
phone and print recorded images directly without using a computer.
A device with this mark is PictBridge-compatible.
„Connecting a PictBridge Compliant Device
To connect a PictBridge compliant device to  this machine, use a USB cable recommended by 
the device’s manufacturer.

Routine Maintenance
Replacing an Ink Tank
When ink runs out, replace the ink tank. The machine  will not print if the wrong type of ink tank is 
used, or if it is installed in the incorrect position.
The machine uses the following ink tanks.
„ Getting the Ink Level Information
You can confirm the ink level in each ink tank by  the ink lamps. Open the Scanning Unit (Printer 
Cover) of the machine to confirm how the ink lamps light or flash.
Ink is low: 
......Repeats
The ink lamp flashes slowly (at around 3-second inte rvals). You can continue printing for a while, 
but we recommend you to have a replacement ink tank available.
Ink is out: 
......Repeats
The ink lamp flashes quickly (at around 1-second  intervals). Replace the ink tank with a new 
one.
* If an ink tank related error message is displayed on the LCD, an ink tank error has occurred  and the machine is unable to print. For details, see 
“Error Message Is Displayed on the LCD” on 
page 57.
Black: PGI-5BK Magenta: CLI-8M
Cyan: CLI-8C Yellow: CLI-8Y
Note
z
Be sure to install the ink tanks in the correct order. The proper arrangement from the left is Black , 
Cyan , Magenta , Yellow .
z If printing becomes faint or white streaks appear despite sufficient ink levels, see “When Printing 
Becomes Faint or Colors Are Incorrect” on page 40.

Routine Maintenance
„ Knowing When to Replace Ink Tank
Identify the empty ink tank on the LCD and replace it.
If the “!” symbol is displayed above an ink tank
If the machine detects low ink when you start printing, an error message such as the following 
appears on the LCD. 
Obtain a replacement t ank as soon as possible.
(A) Ink tank with low ink
If the “X” symbol is displayed above an ink tank
(B) Ink tank that may have run out of ink
z Ink may have run out. Replacing the ink tank is recommended.
z Press the  Stop/Reset  button to cancel printing. Replace the ink tank with a new one.
z If printing is in progress and you want to continue printing, press the  OK button with the ink 
tank installed. Then printing can continue. R eplacing the ink tank is recommended after the 
printing. The machine may be damaged if printi ng is continued under the ink out condition.
If an empty ink tank is displayed distinctly from other ink tanks
(C) Ink tank that has run out of ink
z Ink has run out. Replace the ink tank.
Printing under the current condition may damage the machine.
z If you want to continue printing in this condit ion, you need to release the function for detecting 
the remaining ink level. Press and hold the  Stop/Reset button for at least 5 seconds, and 
then release it.
* With this operation, releasing the functi on for detecting the remaining ink level is 
memorized. Please be advised that Canon shall not  be liable for any malfunction or trouble 
which may be caused by continuation of printing under the ink out condition.

							36Routine Maintenance
„Replacing Ink Tanks
When ink tanks run out of ink, replace them using the following steps.
1Open the Front Feeder.
2Make sure that the machine is turned on, lift 
the Scanning Unit (Printer Cover) open, and 
set the Scanning Unit Support to hold the 
cover. 
The Print Head Holder moves to the center.
3Remove the ink tank whose lamp is flashing fast.
(1) Push the tab and remove the ink tank.
Important
Handling Ink
zTo maintain optimal printing quality, we recommend the use of specified Canon brand ink tanks.
Refilling ink is not recommended.
z Once you remove an ink tank, replace it immediately. Do not leave the machine with ink tanks 
removed.
z Replace empty tanks with new ones. Inserting partially used ink tanks may cause the nozzles to 
clog. Furthermore, with such tanks, the machine will not be able to inform you when to replace 
the tanks properly.
z Once an ink tank has been installed, do not remove it from the machine and leave it out in the 
open. This will cause the ink tank to dry out, and the machine may not operate properly when it 
is reinstalled. To maintain optimal printing quality, use an ink tank within six months of first use.
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. When an ink tank is out of ink, replace it 
immediately with a new one.
CautionzDo not hold the Print Head Holder to stop or move 
it.
z Do not touch the metallic parts inside the machine.
Important
If the Scanning Unit (Printer Cover) is left open for 
more than 10 minutes, the Print Head Holder moves to 
the right. Close and reopen the Scanning Unit (Printer 
Cover) to return the holder to the center.
ImportantzHandle ink tanks carefully to avoid staining clothing 
or the surrounding area.
z Discard empty ink tanks according to the local laws 
and regulations regarding disposal of consumables.
Note
zDo not remove more than one ink tank at a time. Be 
sure to replace ink tanks one by one when 
replacing more than one ink tank.
z For details on ink lamp flashing speed, see “Getting 
the Ink Level Information” on page 34.

*1 Do NOT touch the Print Head Lock 
Lever; remove only the ink tank.
