Hi dakota01234,
Canon does recommend the usage of refilled ink cartridges. If you are to use them, it would be done at your own risk.
You can disable the ink level detection by holding down the Stop button on the printer for 5 seconds.
Canon recommends to use new genuine Canon cartridges in order to obtain optimum qualities.
Please be advised that Canon shall not be liable for any malfunction or trouble caused by continuation of printing under the ink out condition.
