Installation steps of Canon CL546 ink cartridges

These compatible Canon ink cartridges are very easy to install and to work with. It is normal to receive an error message such as “non-original cartridge detected” on installing them for a first time on your Canon Pixma printer. You can simply take out the cartridges and reinstall those. Check if the message continues. If yes then the another solution is to press the stop button for 5 seconds. The stop button has a triangle inside a circle. On pressing that you turn the printer’s cartridge recognition facility off, which lead you to easily use these unrecognised cartridges.

Refilling guidelines of Canon CL546XL ink cartridge

1. Use a protective pair of gloves for safety purpose.
2. Do not refill the old cartridge which is placed idly for a longer period.
3. You will get the best printing performance if you refill the cartridge before the ink gets completely over.
4. Use plastic cover/newspaper/soak paper sheet/paper towels to cover the surface.
5. Properly check the ink chamber before refilling each.
6. If you are not sure what ink to be refilled in the particular chamber, check it with the help of inserting a toothpicks into the each chamber.
7. Do not overfill the ink cartridge. Try to fill it to a maximum 80% of recommended capacity.
8. Draw 1ml to 2ml ink back from the cartridge if it gets overfilled from the declared capacity.
9. Glue the label back on refilled Canon CL546 ink cartridge properly.
10. Keep the refilled cartridges safe and away from the children.
11. After installation, if your machine indicates the low ink cartridge message, press the RESUME/STOP/RESET button on your printer for 5 to 15 seconds. It will prompt the printer to automatically start printing.
    (Reason for getting a “Low ink cartridge message” - Your Canon machine has an internal memory. This memory remembers Canon CL-546 cartridge serial numbers and for this reason, your recently refilled cartridge is stated to be empty. The memory usually remembers the last 4 cartridges. If you are inserting 4 different Canon ink cartridge and after that, the recently refilled one the printer should recognise and accept it.)
12. Run 1 or 2 cleaning cycles after installing the ink cartridge.
