New PIXMA TS7720 has error message already! - Maintenance Cartridge Error

[cadenrox]

I just got a Pixma TS7720, plugged it in and attempted to set it up but I can’t because there is an error message 1723 that the maintenance cartridge is not installed. But it is installed! I took it out and put it back in but I still can’t get past this error message! I turned off the printer and tried again but it continues to display this error message. Help! Do I have a lemon??

Hey there! 

That means the maintenance cartridge isn't installed. Check this out: https://canon.us/4749lfM

Thank you! This printer is brand new, right out of the box, so the maintenance cartridge was installed but isn’t being recognized or something. I tried taking it out, putting it back in and I still get the same message.
