It might be annoying to run into an issue where your Canon printer not recognizing ink cartridge, particularly if you have an urgent print job to complete. However, there are a few troubleshooting measures you may do to fix the problem before you lose your mind or head straight to a repair facility.
- Verify the compatibility of the cartridge
First and foremost, make sure the cartridge you're using fits the kind of Canon printer you have. Using the incorrect Canon cartridge, even if it physically fits, can lead to detection errors because not all of them are compatible with all printers.
- Take the cartridge out and put it back in.
After turning off your printer, carefully take out the cartridge. Look for any seals or protective tapes that may still be in place. These are frequently disregarded and may make it difficult to identify the cartridge. After firmly replacing the cartridge, turn the printer back on.
- Clear the printer contacts and cartridge.
The cartridge and printer may not make adequate contact if there is dust, dried ink, or finger oils present. The electrical contacts on the cartridge and the printer's interior can be gently cleaned with a cotton swab or lint-free cloth soaked with distilled water.
- Restart the printer
To remove error codes, several Canon models contain a reset feature. For details on how to reset your printer, consult the manual. As an alternative, disconnect the printer from the power source for a short while and then reconnect it.
- Examine a Real Canon Cartridge
The printer might not accept a third-party or refilled cartridge. Changing to a genuine Canon cartridge can frequently fix problems with detection.
