ReplyDeleteYou saved me from the frustration I have been experiencing the past few weeks.

ReplyDeleteWorked great for me!
1)Turn off the printer. Press and hold the Resume/Cancel and Power buttons at the same time.
2)Release the Resume/Cancel button. (continue to hold down the power button)
3)While continuing to hold down the power button press the Resume/Cancel button 3 times then release both buttons.
4)The LED should now be green. Press the Resume/Cancel button 4 times. The led should be green.
Power it off and you should be good to go!
I have a Canon i70 printer and the replacement ink tanks are BCI-15 black and BCI-15 color. But I accidentally bought a BCI-16 color ink tank (normally for the new i90).
ReplyDeleteBut here's the question: the new i90 sounds like it CAN use the BCI-15 black ink tank (usually just for the older i70 and i80) -- so why can't the i70 and the i90 share color ink tanks, too? They look the same.
Hello Anonymous
ReplyDeleteI am considering purchasing an i70 (or i80). I just wanted to ask you (not trying to hijack your thread) whether you can change just one of the colors if one of the colors in the color ink cartridge goes empty before the other colors. Let's say the cyan color runs out; would I be able to replace just that?
Wish I could help you with regard to the BCI-16, but I don't know the answer. Maybe someone will chime in.
Good luck!

ReplyDeletePLEASE NOTE:
If you have a battery attached to the printer,
remove the 2 screws at rear to remove it then follow steps 1 to 6
Refitted battery started up and it worked for me.
