When the light flashes every 2 to 3 seconds on the cartridge, does it have to be replaced immediately, or is that just a warning? Will it flash faster as it approaches empty?</P><P>Thanks,</P><P>Anthony</P> Fri, 22 Feb 2013 01:32:56 GMT anthonyarm 2013-02-22T01:32:56Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Desktop-Inkjet-Printers/cartridge-warning-light/m-p/15149#M1117 <P>Hi,</P><P>I'm printing with the Pixma ix6520.

When the ink tanks become empty, the lights will flash faster.</STRONG><BR /><BR /><STRONG>We recommend replacing the ink tanks when they are empty. Leaving empty ink tanks inside the printer may damage the print head by clogging it.</STRONG><BR /><BR /><STRONG>Should you require further assistance, please feel free to email us or visit our customer support website at&nbsp;<A href="http://www.canon.ca/" target="_blank">http://www.canon.ca</A></STRONG></P> Sat, 23 Feb 2013 05:24:29 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Desktop-Inkjet-Printers/cartridge-warning-light/m-p/15251#M1118 anthonyarm 2013-02-23T05:24:29Z
