Canon pixma mp600 Quick Setup Guide

Routine Maintenance

„

When ink tanks run out of ink, replace them using the following steps.

Open the Paper Output Tray.

(1) Put your finger in the rounded indent of the Paper Output Tray and open it gently.

Make sure that the machine is turned on, and 
raise the Scanning Unit (Printer Cover) until it 
stops. 

The Print Head Holder moves to the center.

Open the Inner Cover. 

Handling Ink
z

To maintain optimal printing quality, we recommend the use of specified Canon brand ink tanks. 

Refilling ink is not recommended.

z

Once you remove an ink tank, replace it immediately. Do not leave the machine with ink tanks 

removed.

z

Replace empty tanks with new ones. Inserting partially used ink tanks may cause the nozzles to 

clog. Furthermore, with such tanks, the machine will not be able to inform you when to replace 

the tanks properly.

z

Once an ink tank has been installed, do not remove it from the machine and leave it out in the 

open. This will cause the ink tank to dry out, and the machine may not operate properly when it 

is reinstalled. To maintain optimal printing quality, use an ink tank within six months of first use.

z

Color ink may be consumed even when printing a black-and-white document or when black-

and-white printing is specified.
Color ink is also consumed in Print Head Cleaning and Print Head Deep Cleaning, which may 

be necessary to maintain the machine’s performance. When an ink tank is out of ink, replace it 

immediately with a new one.

Do not hold the LCD or the Operation Panel.

If the Scanning Unit (Printer Cover) is left open for 

more than 10 minutes, the Print Head Holder moves to 

the right. Close and reopen the Scanning Unit (Printer 

Cover) to return the holder to the center.

z

Do not hold the Print Head Holder to stop or move 

it.

z

Do not touch the metallic parts inside the machine.
