SOURCE: waste ink full
This step is a "reset" step for the Canon CLI8
cartridges. The original Canon CLI8 cartridges have a memory chip on
the back of the cartridge, which sends a signal to the printer when the
cartridge is empty. Your printer won't be able to determine how much
ink is in the compatible cartridges, but you can easily monitor the ink
level by noticing the ink level drop in the cartridge as you print (the
cartridges are see-through), or by noticing low ink output on the
printed pages when you run out of ink. The "reset" procedure below is
the best procedure we know of to date to allow your printer to use
Uni-Kit cartridges which offer a tremendous savings over the Original
Canon products.
With the original chip now
attached to the compatible cartridge (you may need double sided tape to
get the chip to stick well to the cartridge), and with the cartridge
now in the printer, Press and hold the Reset/OK Button for 5 seconds to
reset the chips.

Eight flashes: Waste ink absorber almost full
The printer has a built-in waste ink absorber for the ink used during Print Head cleaning. Eight flashes indicates that the waste ink absorber is nearly full. Press the RESUME/CANCEL button to cancel the error so you can continue printing. Before the waste ink absorber becomes completely full, contact a Canon service representative.
Important
Canon recommends that you call for service as soon as this error occurs. Once the waste ink absorber becomes completely full, printing will no longer be possible
