Most of the Canon inkjet printers use inkjet cartridges with smart chips included in it. These chips allow users to know of any errors, ink level, and other printer messages. Should an error appear and you are not sure how to do away with such error or resolve the issue then the easiest step is to power down the printer and restart it. This method will most likely bring back the printer into its original settings and it will resolve the error.

All Canon printers come with individual ink tanks and use ink level chips. The chip is attached to each ink tank, which keeps a record of its ink level information as well as other data generated by the printer driver. When it comes to reset the ink tank chip, many users believe to seek expert’s suggestion. However, resetting ink chip is really very easy. It involves buying a chip re-setter for your Canon printer and then using it every time you use refilled ink cartridge. The printer identifies reset ink tanks as filled and new Canon inkjet cartridges .

To fix printer errors, place the ink tank in the re-setter frame and then gently push it down for a few seconds. When you see the tank LED glowing up in about 5 seconds, the reset is finished! The ink tank level is brought back to full. All you have to do is fill the printer cartridge with ink, place it back in the machine and begin with your printing job.
