Resolving the "Ink has run out" Error?
Canon Pixma printers can display this error message when ink has emptied. This is an indication to replace the Canon 551 ink cartridge. When replaced you can restart your printing and the error message should disappear.
If the message appears whilst the printer is printing then you can press the resume button for at least 5 seconds. This procedure will disable the function for detecting remaining ink in the cartridge. A temporary solution to help finish printing (the quality may be compromised). Howeveer when you finish the print replace your cartridges as soon as possible.
Are you getting the same error after installing new remanufactured cartridges?
The issue can be resolved very easily. A very common issue with compatible Canon 551 multipacks. The printer reads these remanufactured cartridges as empty and displays this message because the monitoring chips on the genuine Canon are designed for single one-time use.
Click ‘Ok’ on your control panel screen and continue on printing. Sometimes the printer will prevent you from proceeding. Bypass this message selecting RESUME, STOP/RESET, or COLOUR START. Generally, this is a red coloured triangle in a circle or white in latest Canon models. Press this button for 5 to 15 seconds closing the printer ink monitor and hopefully stopping the blinking light on the printer.
