I do not know how to override the empty cartridge indication. My print allowed me to continue to print until it went empty again. I use 240xl or 241 for my printer

Ok I had the same type of problem. But, I thought I had just messed something up. My husband normally handles things like that. We have a Cannon Pixma MG2120. I went to the cannon web site and downloaded a copy of the owners manual. It told me how to override the empty cartridge indication. Now it doesn't tell me how much ink I have left. Not a big problem for me since mostly all I print is word documents. Hope this helped. Good luck.

I've got a Canon iP4300 which uses the same cartridges as the MP600. When I replaced my ink with generic cartridges (and moved the chip to the generic), I had to hold down the reset button for 5-10 seconds which tells the printer to ignore the error. On the PC, it shows an empty cartridge with an "X" above it, but it prints fine.

Turn printer on in front of the printer is a panel to pull down. The cartridges will line up. on the panel is a picture telling you how to change. easy, but with limited space to work. Be sure you hear a snap sound cartridge is secure.

Remove the CIS Ink System and then snap it back in. Also on the top right of the Ink cartridge is a small white button. Press the button for about 10 seconds, close the lid and check. You may also try youtube, they have a lot of answers for the CIS Ink System.

I've had a similar problem after the printer sat idle for a week or so. I was able to correct the problem by re-priming the ink cartridges using the syringe provided with the Ink Block system. Remove the plug in the non-working cartridge, and using the syringe, draw a small amount of ink back into the cartridge. Run a cleaning cycle, and see if it is now working.

my printer never could either. I was told to turn the printer off, remove the cartridges, add the cartridges back, and turn the printer on. it never helped me.

Here's what Canon's site says: "The ink has run out. Replace the ink tank." U163 If you want to continue printing in this condition, you need to release the function for detecting the remaining ink level. Press and hold the Stop/Reset button for at least 5 seconds, and then release it. With this operation, releasing the function for detecting the remaining ink level is memorized. Please be advised that Canon shall not be liable for any malfunction or trouble which may be caused by continuation of printing under the ink out condition. Note If the function for detecting the remaining ink level is disabled, the ink tank in gray is displayed on the LCD when checking the current ink level. Since printing in this condition may cause the contents of the fax to be lost, the machine stores received faxes in memory without printing until the ink tank is replaced. Print the fax stored in memory manually after replacing the ink tank. You can set the machine to print received faxes forcibly without storing them in memory, but a part of contents or all contents of the fax may not be printed.

sounds like there is a problem with your chip. try combinations of installing while machine is on and off. if it doesn't work, contact the dealer of the cartridges, they were helpful to me.

Imagine my pleasant surprise! This afternoon, I had an email from Canon that indicated that my (registered) MX700 printer was affected by this widely known problem with the FAX picking up the phone. There is now a firmware download available from Canon's website to version 1.08. The firmware updater is available on both Mac and Windows. Hurray!

You can't, period. It is a defective product, bad microchips or something. Toss it and get a new, different printer.

Try opening the printer settings from the computer. Also try the settings from the printer itself. Maybe try shutting it off and on.

Rob it won't work, once the cartridge is empty the printer will not print. so it's best to buy a new cartridge.

The first ciss I purchased had a button on the cartridge, in the most recent I just turn off and on the printer.

I hooked mine up for that purpose, but haven't been able to figure out the fax function on my new printer. So I am not much help.
