How to get rid of Canon Check Ink 1686 and 1688 error messages?

Error 1686 and 1688 error are common low ink warning messages used by an entire series of Canon inkjet printers that work with the Canon CL541 ink cartridges. This is an indication that states “The ink may have run out” or “The ink has run out”. Whichever message you receive the printer would stop printing as the result. These errors send a message to the printer that there is no more ink there to fulfill the printing tasks. The printer would not start working again until the message disappears. If you are struggling with this issue there are a few method that can aid you in resolving the issue.

What are the possible reasons behind these messages?

First, the obvious one, that your Canon CL541 ink cartridges are low on ink or are empty. However, if you have recently refilled the cartridges or replaced them with remanufactured Canon CL541xl, this message can be a puzzle for you. If the later one is the issue with you, there is nothing to worry about. The printer reads these remanufactured or refilled cartridges as empty and displays this message. Most of the time because the ink monitoring chips on the genuine Canon inks are intended to be used one-time only. So, when the genuine cartridges are refilled or replaced by compatible ones, the printer can’t check the inside ink levels and continue showing the error.

How to get rid of these messages?

If you have just refilled or replaced the Canon ink cartridges just press the printer’s RESUME/STOP/RESET button for at least 5 seconds. The message will disappear after this step. You will find this button on the printer with a red coloured triangle in a circle.
