Cartridge Requirements:

The replacement Canon Pixma MP210 ink cartridges are:

• Canon PG40 ink cartridge
• Canon CL41 ink cartridge

When the printing becomes faint or the colours are inappropriate, the most probable reason could be that the Canon Pixma MP210 Ink Cartridges are clogged. This condition could be overcome by following these simple steps:

• To confirm the condition of the nozzles, print the nozzle check pattern
• Now perform the Print Head Cleaning
• If the results are not satisfactory, perform the Print Head Alignment so as to improve print quality

To determine whether the ink ejects properly from the print head nozzles, print the nozzle check pattern by the following steps:

• Turn on the machine. Then load the paper in rear tray

• Print the nozzle check pattern by pressing the maintenance button repeatedly until A appears on the LCD screen
• Then press the Black or Color button. The machine will print a nozzle check pattern
• Now examine the pattern and take the appropriate action

If there is not enough ink, the nozzle check pattern will not be printed correctly. Replace the Canon Pixma MP210 Ink Cartridges if the remaining amount of ink is insufficient. To examine the nozzle check pattern, follow the steps listed below:

• Check the nozzle pattern you printed
• If the lines of this pattern are missing, the print head nozzles needs cleaning
• If the patterns have white streaks, the print head nozzles needs cleaning
• If the problem still persists, try Print Head Deep Cleaning

Print Head Deep Cleaning can be performed by following these steps:

• Turn on the machine
• Start Print Head Deep Cleaning by pressing the maintenance button repeatedly until Y appears on the LCD screen
• Press the black or color button. The Print Head Deep Cleaning starts
• Confirm the condition of the Print Head. Print the nozzle check pattern to check the print head condition

Here we have included some of the frequently asked queries by our customers for our Canon Pixma MP210 printer and Canon Pixma MP210 Ink Cartridges. This will help you to resolve any issues quickly.

Q. I use Canon Pixma MP210 printer. Today while doing a print an error occurred and the message suggests that the Canon Pixma MP210 Ink Cartridge absorber is full. What should I do?
A. Your machine has an inbuilt Canon Pixma MP210 Ink Cartridges absorber that holds the ink necessary for carrying out the print head cleaning task. Since it is already full you need to click on the Black or Colour button to cancel the error and resume printing. After completing the print task you can remove the ink absorber, which is a sponge like substance and wash it properly. You can install it back after it is properly dried. Remember that during this time your printing will be disabled.

Q. I tried printing few photographs from my digital camera using my Canon Pixma MP210 printer. The printing is not happening. Is it because the device is not compatible?
A. It is not necessary that your camera is incompatible with your printer. A communication timeout happens whenever it takes long time by a device to send data and thus it cancels printing. You can try disconnecting and then reconnecting the USB cable. Also make sure that you have selected PictBridge compliant as the print mode on your camera before it is connected to the printer. Then switch on the camera and manually provide option for printing.

Q. Today when I was taking some prints, my Canon Pixma MP210 printer stopped printing and the error suggested that Canon Pixma MP210 Ink Cartridges level as insufficient. What should I do as my printing is in progress?
A. You can carry out your printing process under the ink out condition. You need to press the Stop/Reset button for a few seconds with the empty Canon Pixma MP210 Ink Cartridges still installed. The printing will be completed but you might not get the desired print quality. After you have completed the printing task replace the empty Canon Pixma MP210 Ink Cartridges.

Q. Hi, I was trying to scan using my new Canon Pixma MP210 printer when the error message suggest that the document cannot be detected. How can I solve this problem?
A. Check if you have selected Fit-to-Page copying. In this case the document size cannot be detected properly. Also check If you have properly loaded the document on the platen glass. Then try reloading the document by clicking on the Black or Colour button.

Q. I am using a Canon Pixma MP210 printer. The USB 2.0 Hi-speed connection is not working properly. How can I solve this problem?
A. In case the overall working environment of your printer is not compatible with your USB 2.0 Hi-speed, then your printer will not offer the desired speed. To solve this issue check whether the USB port and the operating system of your PC supports 2.0 Hi-speed connection. In case you are using a USB hub, then check if it too supports the USB 2.0 Hi-speed. Make sure that the USB 2.0 drivers are working properly.

Q. Hi, today while taking a print of an image from my Canon Pixma MP210 printer, the image quality was not good and the printed sheet teared off. What could be the reason?
A. Check if you have set the page size settings and the media type settings appropriately to take a print. In case if they are not set properly, you will not get the desired print output. Incorrect paper type will lead to such problems while taking prints of image, graphics or photographs. Uneven colouring can also occur if the paper type is not selected accurately. It will also be good if you check that the Canon Pixma MP210 Ink Cartridges are sufficient enough to carry out quality printing.
