Troubleshooting
Printer not recognizing the new cartridge
Ensure the cartridge is correctly seated in its slot and that all protective seals have been removed. Try reinserting the cartridge. Power cycle the printer by turning it off, unplugging it for a minute, then plugging it back in and turning it on.
Poor print quality (streaks, faded text)
Run the printer's built-in head cleaning utility. Ensure the correct paper type is selected in the print settings. Check that the cartridge is not empty and that it is an original Canon cartridge compatible with your printer.
Ink level shows empty shortly after installation
The printer's ink level monitor may not be perfectly accurate. Continue printing until actual print quality degrades. If the problem persists, try reseating the cartridge or consult your printer's manual for recalibration options.
