    Notez If multiple ink lamps are flashing red, see “Getting the Color or Black Ink 
    Status Information” on page 103 and check the status of each ink tank.
    z Since printing in this condition may cause the contents of the fax to be lost, 
    the machine stores received faxes in memory without printing until the ink 
    tank is replaced. Print the fax stored in memory manually after replacing the 
    ink tank. You can set the machine to print received faxes forcibly without 
    storing them in memory, but a part of contents or all contents of the fax may 
    not be printed.
    “The clear ink tank is empty. Replacing 
    the ink tank is recommended.”
    U045 The clear ink tank is empty.
    You are recommended to replace the clear ink tank with a new one.
    If printing is in progress and you want to continue printing, press the machine’s 
    OK
     button. Then printing can continue. Replacing the clear ink tank is 
    recommended after the printing.

    “The clear Ink has run out. Replace the 
    ink tank.”
    U165/U166 The clear ink has run out.
    Replace the clear ink tank with a new one.
    If you do not replace the clear ink tank, press the machine’s 
    Stop/Reset button 
    to clear the error. Print job will be canceled. 
    Print quality will deteriorate considerably and the feeder behind the cassette 
    may be damaged if printing on plain paper is continued under the clear ink out 
    condition. For this reason, you cannot print on plain paper until the clear ink tank 
    is replaced with a new one.
    See “Replacing an Ink Tank” on page 103.
    NoteUntil the clear ink tank is replaced, the machine will not be able to print the 
    received fax and will store it in its memory. The fax stored in memory needs to 
    be printed manually.
    ImportantIf you accidentally unplug the power cord and the power is turned off when the 
    clear ink has run out, the error may not be cleared even after pressing the  Stop/
    Reset  button. Replace the ink tank with a new one.

    If printing is in progress, press the machine’s 
    Stop/Reset button to stop printing, 
    replace the ink tank, and then print again. Printing under the current condition 
    may damage the machine.
    To continue printing, you need to release the function for detecting the 
    remaining ink level. Press and hold the machine’s  Stop/Reset button for at least 
    5 seconds, and then release it.
    This operation releases the function for detecting the remaining level of the 
    above ink, and releasing the function is memorized.
    Please be advised that Canon shall not be liable for any malfunction or trouble 
    caused by continuation of printing under the ink out condition.
    See “Replacing an Ink Tank” on page 103.
    Notez If the function for detecting the remaining ink level is disabled, the ink tank in 
    gray is displayed on the LCD when checking the current ink level.
    See “Getting the Color or Black Ink Status Information” on page 103.
    z Since printing in this condition may cause the contents of the fax to be lost,

    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.)

    Perform sheet cleaning. ” When a sheet cleaning operation is necessary, the message is displayed before 
    printing. Press the 
    OK button on the machine to start printing.
    We recommend that you perform sheet cleaning after printing finishes, as failure 
    to perform sheet cleaning may affect the print quality. See “Cleaning the Inside 
    of the Machine with a Cleaning Sheet” on page 129.
    “****
    Error code” “****” is an alphanumeric code that varies according to the error status.
