    Solution

    REFERENCE
    The ink level detector is mounted on the printer to detect the remaining ink level. The printer considers as ink is full when a new FINE Cartridge is installed, and then starts to detect a remaining ink level. If you install a used FINE Cartridge, the indicated ink level of it may not be correct. In such case, refer to the ink level information only as a guide.

    Windows
    1. Open the printer properties dialog box.

    2. Click View Printer Status on the Maintenance sheet.
    To confirm the ink level information, click the Ink Details menu.
    REFERENCE
    You can also display the printer status monitor by clicking Canon XXX (where "XXX" is your printer’s name) which appears on the taskbar during printing.
