When to Replace Ink Tank and Maintain Print Head
When an ink tank is empty, it must be replaced.
The BJ Status Monitor (Windows) or the BJ Print Monitor (Macintosh) will initially advise 
you of a low ink level. At this stage, you can still continue to print.
Once an ink tank is empty, the BJ Status Monitor (Windows) or the BJ Print Monitor 
(Macintosh) will tell you to replace the ink tank. Attempting to print causes the POWER 
lamp to ßash four times.
áReplacing an Ink Tank
If printing becomes faint or a speciÞc color is no longer printing, even though there is still 
enough ink, the print head nozzles are probably clogged. Follow the procedures below to 
clean the nozzles.
áPrinting the Nozzle Check Pattern

áPrint Head Cleaning
If the problem remains
áPrint Head Deep Cleaning
If print head deep cleaning does not resolve the problem, the print head may be worn out. 
Contact a Canon service representative.
