Hi Jmason,

Please replace the color ink cartridge in your PIXMA MX492 with a new, genuine Canon color ink cartridge.  Once replaced, please make sure that all of the tape and cellophane have been removed from the ink cartridge before inserting the ink cartridge into your PIXMA MX492.

 2.  Press the right arrow button until [MAINTENANCE] is displayed on the LCD, and press OK

 3.  Press the arrow button until [Deep cleaning] is displayed, and press OK
