Monitoring Ink Levels
The print driver allows you to monitor the level of ink in each ink tank, with a low
ink warning that notifies you when ink runs low during printing.
For this feature to accurately report ink levels, you must enable the low ink
warning and reset the ink counter when a new ink tank is installed.
To enable low ink warning in Windows:
1.
With the printer on, click
Start
, then
Settings
, then
Printers
.
2.
Right-click the
Canon S200
icon, then select
Properties
.
3.
Select the
Maintenance
tab, then click the
Low Ink Warning Setting
icon.
4.
Click to check
Display low ink warning
, click
Send
, and click
OK
.
5.
If you have just installed one or both ink tanks, reset the ink counter for the
new tank(s). See “To reset the ink counter in Windows:” on page 24.
To enable low ink warning in Mac OS:
1.
With the printer on, click
Page Setup
from the
File
menu.
2.
Click
Utilities
to open the Printer Utility dialog box.
3.
Select
Remaining
ink level setting
from the drop-down menu, then click the
Low Ink Warning
setting.
Do not reset the ink tank counter for an ink tank that is already in
use. To do so will give an inaccurate report of ink levels. It is best
to enable the low ink warning feature either when you first set up
your printer or when replacing one or both ink tanks.
