Precautions when handling ink tanks
Take the following precautions when handling ink tanks.
Caution
• For safety, keep ink tanks out of the reach of children.
• If ink is accidentally ingested, contact a physician immediately.
iPF840 Replacing Ink Tanks
Important
• There may be ink around the ink supply section of ink tanks you removed. Handle ink tanks carefully during replacement. The ink may stain clothing.
• Do not install used ink tanks in another model of printer.
This will prevent correct ink level detection, which may damage the printer or cause other problems.
• We recommend using up an Ink Tank in the course of printing within six months after breaking the seal. Printing quality may be affected if you use older ink tanks.
• Do not leave the printer without ink tanks installed for extended periods (a month or more). Residual ink may become clogged inside the printer and affect printing quality.

If printing is faint, cleaning the Printhead may improve results.
Choose one of two Printhead cleaning modes ( Head Cleaning A or Head Cleaning B ), depending on the problem to resolve.
• Head Cleaning A
Use this mode if printing is faint or contains foreign substances. This method of cleaning consumes the least amount of ink.
It takes about three minutes to complete.

Use this mode if no ink is ejected at all, or if Head Cleaning A does not solve the problem.
It takes about three and a half minutes to complete.
Important
• Do not remove the Maintenance Cartridge or ink tanks during either Head Cleaning A or Head Cleaning B .
Ink may leak or an error may occur.
• If printing does not improve even if you execute Head Cleaning B , try repeating Head Cleaning B once or twice.
If this still does not improve printing, the Printhead may have reached the end of its useful life. Contact your Canon dealer for assistance.

Clean the printer regularly to maintain better printing quality and help prevent problems.
To ensure a comfortable working environment, clean the printer exterior about once a month.
1
Turn the printer off. (See " Turning the Printer On and Off .")
2
Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
Caution
• Always turn off the printer and unplug the power cord before cleaning or maintenance. Accidentally leaving the printer on poses a risk of injury if you touch moving parts inside the printer.

Using a damp cloth that you have wrung out completely, wipe away any dirt or paper dust from the Paper Feed Slot
(a), power cord plug, and so on. Dry these parts with a dry cloth.
a
Warning
• Never use flammable solvents such as alcohol, benzene, or thinner. If these substances come into contact with electrical components inside the printer, there is a risk of fire or electrical shock.
Important
• If the Ejection Guide is dirty, it may soil the edge of the paper when the paper is cut. We recommend cleaning the Ejection Guide even if it does not appear dirty, because it may actually be covered with paper dust.
(See " Cleaning Inside the Top Cover .")
