Since the purge consumes ink there is the possibility that the purge cycles pushes a cartridge into the low warning area. Could be repeated if I just now replace that one cartridge.

I don't like that an ink cartridge can only be changed when a warning comes up that it's out of ink. I want to print some pictures and some nice documents and just because the ink `level of my yellow is empty (and even has a question mark by it) has been low for a long time, possibly even out and a notice hasn't popped up to let me change the cartridge. I haven't been able to find any information on how to fix this, to be able to rep[lace it. It has been an ongoing issue with other colors, to where I wait on photos until one runs out (just so I can change it) and by that time a different color is low enough that it's not printing its full color. Is there a way that I can change these with out the warning?</P><P>Can anyone help?</P><P>Thanks for your time. <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> Thu, 12 Sep 2024 15:28:48 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Office-Printers/MAXIFY-MB2720-How-to-replace-a-non-empty-cartridge/m-p/364640#M15472 Scooter14 2024-09-12T15:28:48Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Office-Printers/MAXIFY-MB2720-How-to-replace-a-non-empty-cartridge/m-p/364651#M15473 <P>Unless there is something special about your printer, you can change and install a new ink cartridge whenever you want.
