    “The ink may have run out. Replacing 
    the ink tank is recommended.”
    U041 If the lamp on the ink tank is flashing, ink may have run out.
    Replacing the ink tank is recommended.
    If printing is in progress and you want to continue printing, press the 
    OK button 
    with the ink tank installed. Then printing can continue. Replacing the ink tank is 
    recommended after the printing. The machine may be damaged if printing is 
    continued under the ink out condition.
    See “Replacing an Ink Tank” on page 80.
    NoteIf multiple ink lamps are flashing red, see “Getting the Ink Status Information” on 
    page 80 and check the status of each ink tank.

    print head.”
    U051
    “The type of print head is incorrect. 
    Install the correct print head.”
    U052 Follow the directions given in your setup sheet to install the Print Head.
    If the Print Head is already installed, remove the Print Head once and then

    tank flashes.)
    z More than one ink tanks of the same color are installed. (The lamp on the ink 
    tank flashes.)
    Confirm that the ink tanks are installed in the appropriate positions.

    “The remaining level of the ink cannot 
    be correctly detected.”
    U130 The remaining ink level cannot be correctly detected. (The lamp on the ink tank 
    flashes.)
    Replace the ink tank and close the Scanning Unit (Printer Cover).
    Printing with an ink tank that was once empty may damage the machine.
    If you want to continue printing in this condition, 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 function for detecting the remaining ink level is 
    memorized. Please be advised that Canon shall not be liable for any machine 
    malfunction or damage caused by refilled ink tanks.

    “The waste ink absorber is almost full. 
    Press [OK] to continue but early 
    replacement recommended. ” The machine has a built-in ink absorber to hold the ink used during Print Head 
    Cleaning, for example.
    This error message indicates that the ink absorber is nearly full.
    Press the 
    OK button to cancel the error so you can continue printing.
    However, because printing is disabled once the ink absorber becomes 
    completely full and until the ink absorber is replaced, you are recommended to 
    contact your Canon service representative as early as possible. (You will need 
    to replace a particular part of the machine.)
    “Incompatible device detected. 
    Remove the device.” A communication time out occurs if an operation takes too long or if it takes too 
    much time to send data. This may cancel printing. In such cases, disconnect 
    and reconnect the USB cable.
    When printing from a PictBridge compliant device, depending on the model or 
    brand of your device, you may have to select a PictBridge compliant print mode\
     
    on the device before connecting it to the machine. You may also have to turn on 
    your device or select Play mode manually after connecting the device to the 
    machine. Perform necessary operations before connecting your device referring 
    to its instruction manual. 
    If the error is still not resolved, check if you can print another photograph.

    on the machine. If the same error occurs, contact your Canon service 
    representative.
    “Scanner is not operating correctly.” Turn off the machine, and unplug the power cord of the machine from the power  supply. After a while, plug the power cord of the machine back in, and then turn

    operation. See “Document Jams” on page 116.
    “Document size is too long. Redo 
    operation after checking document on 
    ADF and pressing [OK].” The document is too long or is jammed in the ADF. Remove the document page 
    jammed in the ADF, then press the 
    OK button. When the error is cleared, make 
    sure that the document you are loading meets the machine’s requirements 
    before redoing the operation. See “Original Document Requirements” on page 6 
    and “Document Jams” on page 116.
