MG8120 How to scan with ink out

I used to be able to scan without ink, but now I only get an error message to replace ink tank (U163).  How can I work around this? Thank you.

Problem solved.  I had forgotten that by holding down the Stop button for five seconds, the function that reads ink levels is disabled, and scanning capability is restored.

Thanks for being active in our community. We are happy to share that it is possible to scan with an empty ink tank or cartridge. To start scanning follow the instructions at the link here: https://canon.us/pixma
