This FINE Cartridge may have previously been used, or the ink may have 
run out. The function for detecting the remaining ink level will be disabled 
since the remaining ink level cannot be correctly detected. If you want to 
continue printing without this function, press [OK]. Canon recommends to 
use new genuine Canon Cartridges in order to obtain optimum qualities.

The FINE Cartridge may not be the compatible with this machine. Install 
the appropriate FINE Cartridge. If lines are misaligned or the resulting

An error requiring servicing might have occurred. 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 turn ON the 
machine. If the same error occurs, contact a Canon service representative.
Note
If the ON/OFF Lamp (green) and Alarm Lamp (orange) flash alternately, 
disconnect the USB cable from the machine, and then turn the machine OFF 
and then unplug the machine from the power supply for a while. Plug the 
machine back in and turn the machine back ON.
If the problem remains, contact a Canon service representative.

The ink may have run out. Replace the FINE Cartridge, and close the 
Scanning Unit. If lines are misaligned or the resulting output is not 
satisfactory, carry out the FINE Cartridge Alignment. If printing is in 
progress and you want to continue printing, press [Black] or [Color]. Then 
printing can continue under the ink out condition with the FINE Cartridge 
installed. Replace the empty FINE Cartridge immediately after the printing. 
The resulting print quality is not satisfactory, if printing is continued under 
the ink out condition.

The FINE Cartridge may not be installed properly, or the Cartridge may not 
be the compatible with this machine. Install the appropriate FINE 
Cartridge. If lines are misaligned or the resulting output is not satisfactory, 
carry out the FINE Cartridge Alignment.
E, 7
Some FINE Cartridges are not installed in place. Install the FINE 
Cartridges in the appropriate positions.
E, 8
Waste ink absorber is almost full. Ink used for cleaning is absorbed in a 
waste ink absorber placed in the machine. <E, 8> indicates that the waste 
ink absorber is nearly full. Press [Black] or [Color] to cancel the error so 
that you can continue printing. If this error occurs, replacement of the 
waste ink absorber and maintenance of the machine are required. Canon 
recommends to contact a Canon service representative as soon as 
possible. Once the waste ink absorber becomes completely full, printing 
cannot be done until the waste ink absorber is replaced.
