Canon MX518 is an all-in-one printer, copier and scanner. Featuring a built-in fax machine, this machine can be a great help in any office or home. As with any printer, you should perform regular maintenance to keep the machine running efficiently. One of the maintenance tasks is waste ink resetting.
When ink cartridges are used over time, they become depleted and need to be replaced. This process is known as “wasteink resetting.” During this process, the printer’s built-in memory is wiped clean so that the printer can recognize new ink cartridges when they are inserted. Waste ink resetting prevents the printer from experiencing any malfunctioning due to the clogging of old ink.
To reset the Canon MX518 for waste ink, you will first need to open the printer’s control panel or printer utility window. You should then locate the “waste ink reset” option and select it. After doing so, the printer will begin to reset the waste ink. It is important to note that this process can take several minutes to complete.
Once the reset process has finished, you should be able to close the printer utility window and the control panel. At this point, the printer should be ready to print again. If you experience any issues, you can try resetting the waste ink again.
You should also select the option to “purge” the waste ink tank. This will clear out any old, clogged ink and ensure that the printer continues to run smoothly.
While waste ink resetting may seem like a daunting task, it is actually quite simple and straightforward. If you follow the instructions above, you should have no trouble resetting your Canon MX518. Doing this regularly will help ensure that your printer runs efficiently and continues to produce high-quality prints.
