Changing the remaining ink level notification setting

You can switch the remaining ink level notification setting and reset the remaining ink level count.

This section describes the procedure for changing the remaining ink level notification setting.

Remaining Ink Notification Settings

You can switch the remaining ink level notification setting.

  1. From the Canon IJ Printer Utility2 pop-up menu, select Remaining ink level setting

  2. Check that the printer is on, and click Remaining Ink Notification Settings

    The dialog appears.

  3. Set the remaining ink level notification

    Select Enable to display an error message when the remaining ink level runs low.
    Select Disable to prevent the error message from being displayed.

    Important

    • Before enabling Remaining Ink Notification Settings, replenish all inks to the upper limit line and reset the remaining ink level count by running Resets the Remaining Ink Level Count. However, if you reset the count by operating the operation panel of the printer, the setting in the printer driver is unnecessary.
      If any ink is not replenished to the upper limit line, a significant error may occur in the accuracy of the remaining ink level notification function.
    • If you disable Remaining Ink Notification Settings, you must visually check the remaining ink level. Replenish the ink before the ink level falls below the lower limit line.

  4. Apply the setting

    Click OK.
    When the confirmation message appears, click OK.
    From this point on, the setting is applied.

Resets the Remaining Ink Level Count

You can reset the remaining ink level notification counter.

  1. From the Canon IJ Printer Utility2 pop-up menu, select Remaining ink level setting

  2. Check that the printer is on, and then click Resets the Remaining Ink Level Count

    The dialog appears.

  3. Apply the setting

    Click OK.
    When the confirmation message appears, click OK.
    The remaining ink level notification counter is reset.

    Important

    • When you reset the remaining ink level counter, you must replenish all inks to the upper limit line.

    Note

    • When Enable is selected for Remaining Ink Notification Settings, the counters can be reset separately by color from the operation panel of the printer. For specific procedure information, see "Refilling Ink Tanks."
