Have installed new ink cartridges in my cannon mp220,but the display is flashing ink is low on both

Press the "Stop" button and hold it down until the amber light stops flashing that should reset it.

If you used a non-cannon refill, the cartridge may not have the microcontroller inside to tell the printer the ink level.

Use replacement cartridges from Cannon or SOPHIA GLOBAL (available from Amazon or ebay).

some times even a new one can be faulty take it back to the shop for a replacment

Read the manual.

Get online and got to www.google.com In the google search box type: "Canon Support" (without the quotes and put your manufacturer name before Support). Look for downloads and drivers. Enter your model number and operating system when requested. Look for manuals on the site.

An Error Message Is Displayed on the LCD (MP220 series)

For the Canon Pixma MP220, I kept getting a message saying "Col Ink Vol Unknown" after refilling and replacing a cartridge. After reading some of the other responses it appears as though Canon cartridges contain internal chips that prevent you from using them after they have been refilled. However, I tried a few things and this is what worked for me.

1. Insert your refilled Canon cartridge like normal, close the lid.
2. The Error message "Col Ink Vol Unknown" should still appear.
3. Use the "Menu" button to scroll to "Maintenance" (press "Menu" 8 times to find it), then press "OK" to conduct a "Nozzle Check" and a coloured test will print out.
4. The Error message will still appear but you will be able to print using colour AND with black and white. For some silly reason the Canon Pixma MP220 won't print using black and white if there is no coloured ink...

Hope this helps!

E5-5 = The ink cartridges are not installed or a non-supported ink cartridge is installed, or the ink cartridges are not installed properly.

1. try to take out colour ink and then put in again to see ok or no

2.try to install new cartridge to see ok or no

3.if this all can't is better you send you printer to authorized canon to check you printer is print head problem or no....

The Canon rep told you the correct information. The printer companies have included circuits on their cartridges that will not allow you to refill them. The printer reads the code and knows that the cartridge already ran out of ink. To date no one has figured out a hack for this issue.

some printers can detect that the cartridges are refilled based ona barcode or scanning of the cartridges. Does this Cannon have ink tanks or ink cartridges. If it has intakes then the print head needs to be cleaned wth rubbing alcohol and a q-tip. If they are cartridges then it would be good just to buy the original cartidges. As far as the scanning goes this can be a direct connection to the printer going through maintenance. If it continues to not scan then you may need to uninstall the scanner. see if the scanner shows up in your scanners area. if not then it will need to be re-installed.
