This would make the printer to print under the ink out condition. This action would also disable the function for detecting remaining ink in the cartridges.

Getting the same error even after installing new remanufactured cartridges?

It is a very common issue with the compatible Canon PG540 ink cartridges that can be resolved very easily. The printer reads these remanufactured cartridges as empty and displays this message mostly because the ink monitoring chips on the genuine Canon inks are intended to be used one-time only. So, don't worry! Simply click ‘Ok’ on your PC or on the control panel screen of the printer and continue printing. However, it might be possible that some of the Canon inkjet printers would not let you proceed with this error message. You can bypass this message with the help of printer’s RESUME, STOP/RESET, or COLOUR START button. Generally, this is a button with a red/pink coloured triangle in a circle. You may also find this button in white or gray colour in latest Canon models. Press this button for 5 to 15 seconds. It will shut off the ink monitor of the printer and stop the blinking light on the printer. The printer itself will start printing after this.
