When installing refill cartridges the ink level still shows empty on
the computer ink level status manager. I tried to unplug the printer
for a couple of minutes after installing the refill cartridges but to
no avail. What can I do to fix this? The printer does print with these
cartridges but the quality on the ink printing looks to be not all that
good.
Thanks

This
is actually a very easy fix. Two absorber pads are located on the right
side of the printer, under the ink cartridges. With the printer on,
lift the top to expose the cartridges. They will automatically move out
of the way. You can move them to the left side by hand if the printer
is not on. You will probably need a flashlight to see the pads. They
each sit in a rubber retainer. The pads can be removed very easily and
cleaned. Take the pads out of the retainers with tweezers. They clean
up nicely with warm water but you can use something like Simple Green
if they are stubborn. It is best to use a spray bottle (on stream) and
blast it through the pad until it is white. Sometimes just putting it
under a running faucet will do the trick. If there is ink in the rubber
retainer after taking the pad out, it can be cleaned up with a paper
towel. Put the pads back into the retainers and you have successfully
cleaned the ink absorbers. Now you may have to reset the error message
so you can get back to printing. This is how to do it.

the Power button while pressing and holding the Stop/ Reset button.

| This
is a screwjob. I talked to a technician. There is NO reset code. That
f.....g felt pad has a metallic strip. When the E27 code flashes, it
means that the metallic strip has been destroyed and the felt pad MUST
be replaced (washing won't do s..t) and it is NOT sold on the general
market and only the registered Canon repair centers have access to new
ones. It costs $30-40 USD to go in, take out the old one, clean the bin
and replace it with a new one. The printer cost about $130. YOU DECIDE
but don't waste your time washing out the pad and playing with a
nonexistent reset code |

THIS WORKED GREAT.
I had already figured out about cleaning the pads, hot water under the tap did the job. I couldnt clear the error however.
I did the Stop/Reset with power up, 4 clicks and viola!
You saved me from buying a new printer!!!
PS I would not have purchased a new cannon knowing what I know about this ink well thing! |
