How to deal with the remaining ink caution or errors while using Canon Pixma TS3150 Ink Cartridges?

The error code will appear on the LCD when remaining ink cautions or errors occur. In this case, the printer is not able to print or scan and you might need to replace the ink cartridges. Make sure to clean the exterior surface before replacing the cartridges.

Clean exterior surface:

• Make sure to turn the power off and disconnect the power cords before cleaning the printer.
• The periphery of the paper output slot may become dirty with ink while using the printer. Make sure to use a soft dry cloth and gently wipe off the dirt on the surface then proceed to replace the Canon Pixma TS3150 Ink Cartridges.

Replace a Cartridge:

• Make sure to turn the power on.
• Take out the output tray and the output tray extension.
• Open the cover.
• Wait till the cartridge holder moves to the substitution position.
• Avoid holding the cartridge holder to stop or move it forcibly. Avoid touching the cartridge holder until it stops completely.
• Push down the cartridge until it clicks and remove it gently.
• Take out a new cartridge from its package and gently remove the protective tape. Make sure to not reattach the protective tape once you have removed it. (Note: Do not touch the electrical contacts or printhead nozzle, it may cause the printer to not work properly.)
• Insert the new cartridge into the cartridge holder gently so that it does not hit the electrical contacts on the cartridge holder.
• Push the cartridge in until it clicks into the right place.
• Repeat the same process for the remaining Canon Pixma TS3150 Ink Cartridges.
• Close the front cover.
• After replacing the cartridge, align the print head. Print head alignment helps in cleaning the print head automatically before printing the print head alignment sheet.
