Ink Level Detection
The printer ink tank detects the amount of ink remaining to prevent running out of ink while printing
and to avoid printer failure.

When using an ink tank refilled with ink, the function for detecting the remaining ink level may not operate
properly and printing may stop. If you want to use an ink tank refilled with ink, you need to disable the
function for detecting the remaining ink level.
Printing with the ink level detection canceled may lead to printer damage and printing problems. Canon Inc.
is not liable for any damage that may occur as a result of refilling ink.
