Solution
The printer considers as ink is full when new FINE Cartridge is installed, and then starts counting
a remaining level of ink. Even if new FINE Cartridges are not installed, the function for detecting
the remaining ink will work. However, with such cartridges, the detection may not be correct.
Refer to the ink level information for those only as a guide.

Open the Canon IJ Status Monitor to check the ink level information.
(1) Open the printer properties dialog box.
See “Opening the Printer Properties Dialog Box Directly from the Start Menu” on
page 100.
(2) Click View Printer Status on the Maintenance sheet.
The following message is displayed.
