Notes on ink tanks

CANON Maxify MB2120 - Notes on ink tanks - 1

Important

• Install replacement ink tanks promptly. Do not leave the machine without ink tanks installed.
- Replace empty ink tanks with new ones. Installing used ink tanks may clog the nozzles. Used ink tanks may also prevent correct notification of the ink tank replacement timing.
- Do not remove installed ink tanks and leave them outside the machine. In this state, ink tanks will dry out, which may prevent correct operation when they are reinstalled. To maintain optimal print quality, use up ink tanks within six months after you install them.

CANON Maxify MB2120 - Important - 1

Note

- Color ink may be consumed even when printing black-and-white originals, or when black-and-white printing is specified.

All colors of ink are also consumed during standard and deep print head cleaning to maintain performance. When ink tanks run out of ink, promptly replace them with new ones.

Ink Tips

Is ink consumed for purposes other than printing?

Ink is sometimes consumed for purposes other than printing.

When you use the Canon printer for the first time after you install the bundled ink tanks, the printer consumes a small amount of ink in the amount to enable printing by filling the nozzles of the Print Head with ink.

The printing costs described in the brochures or websites are based on the consumption data from not the first ink tank /ink cartridge but the succeeding ink tank /ink cartridge.

Ink is sometimes used to maintain the optimal printing quality.

To keep printer's performance, Canon printer performs cleaning automatically according to its condition. When the printer performs cleaning, a small amount of ink is consumed. In this case, all colors of ink may be consumed.

[Cleaning function]

The cleaning function helps the printer to suck air bubbles or ink itself from the nozzle and thus prevents print quality degradation or nozzle clogging.

Is color ink consumed for black-and-white printing?

Black-and-white printing may consume ink in colors other than black, depending on the type of paper and printer driver settings used. Color ink is therefore consumed in some cases even for black-and-white print jobs.

CANON Maxify MB2120 - Is color ink consumed for black-and-white printing? - 1

Note

- The machine uses pigment ink. With pigment ink, some ink on printed surfaces may come off when rubbed or scratched.

Printing Tips

Check status before printing

• Is the print head in good condition?

Clogged print head nozzles make printing fainter, which affects print quality and wastes paper. To check the print head, print the nozzle check pattern.

→ Maintenance Procedure

• Is ink smeared inside the machine?

After many print jobs, areas where paper passes through the machine may become smeared with ink. To clean the inside the machine, perform Bottom Plate Cleaning.

Confirm that paper is loaded correctly

• Is the paper loaded in the correct orientation?

To load paper in the cassette, load paper printing-side DOWN.

→ Loading Paper

CANON Maxify MB2120 - Confirm that paper is loaded correctly - 1

natural_image Illustration of a printer being inserted into a paper holder, showing the printer's internal structure and the printer's base (no text or symbols present)

• Is the paper curled?

The curled paper causes paper jam. Flatten the curled paper, and then reload it.

"Correct curl before loading paper." in Paper Is Smudged / Printed Surface Is Scratched

Check Paper Settings Before Printing

Before printing, complete paper settings on the operation panel or from a computer.

Paper comes in many varieties. Some is specially coated for high-quality photo printing, while other paper is designed for documents.

Each type of paper has specific preset settings that determine details such as ink application and usage and the distance from nozzles, which ensures optimal print quality for the paper. In contrast, incorrect paper settings may impair color performance, or printed surfaces may rub against the machine.

If printing seems blurry or colors uneven, try printing again at a higher print quality setting.

Set Cassette Paper Information After Loading Paper

When you insert a cassette after loading paper, a screen for setting the type and size of paper is displayed. Set the paper information for the cassette, indicating the type and size of paper loaded.

To prevent incorrect printing, the machine can compare paper information entered for the cassette to print job paper settings to ensure they match. Before printing, specify paper settings consistent with the cassette paper information. If these settings do not match, automatic paper checking (if enabled) will prevent incorrect printing and display an error message. In this case, check and correct the paper settings.

To check cassette paper information, display the paper information screen on the operation panel.

Canceling Print Jobs

Do not press the ON button to cancel print jobs

Pressing the ON button to turn off the machine during printing may prevent the machine from printing again if print jobs are not cleared internally.

Press the Stop button to cancel printing.

Keeping Print Quality High

The key to maintaining optimal print quality is preventing the print head from drying out or becoming clogged. To ensure print quality, follow these tips.

Note

- On some paper, ink may run if you mark over it with a highlighter or water-based marker, or if water or sweat comes into contact with printed areas.

Never unplug the machine until it is off

Pressing the ON button to turn off the machine will automatically cap the print head (which is equipped with nozzles) to prevent it from drying out. However, capping is not performed if you unplug the machine while the POWER lamp is lit or flashing. This may cause drying or clogging.

Before unplugging the machine, make sure the POWER lamp is not lit.

Important

- Unplugging the machine will reset the date/time setting and erase all documents in the machine's memory. Send faxes, print documents, or save jobs to a USB flash drive as needed before unplugging the machine.

Just as felt-tip pens dry up and become unusable (even when capped) if not used over extended periods, the print head may dry out or become clogged if the machine is not used for some time. Use the machine at least once a month, if possible.

Allow regular ink mixing

The machine automatically mixes ink periodically to maintain optimal print quality. Regular printing helps keep the ink in good condition.

If the machine is not used for some time, it will automatically mix the ink before printing.

Transporting Your Machine

Take these precautions when relocating the machine for changing your living place or repairing it.

CANON Maxify MB2120 - Transporting Your Machine - 1

Important

  • Place the machine upright in a sturdy box and pack it with sufficient cushioning to protect it in transit.
  • With the print head and ink tank set still installed, press the ON button to turn off the machine. This enables automatic capping of the print head, which prevents it from drying out.
  • After packing, do not tilt the box, tip it over, or turn it upside down. This may damage the machine and cause ink leakage in transit.
  • When shipping the machine via a courier service, label the box "THIS SIDE UP". Also label the box "FRAGILE" or "HANDLE WITH CARE".

Optimal Photo Printing of Image Data

When people print images taken with digital cameras, they sometimes feel that the printed color tones differ from those of actual image or those displayed on the monitor.

To get the print results as close as possible to the desired color tones, you must select a printing method that is best suited to the application software used or to your purpose.

Color Management

Devices such as digital cameras, scanners, monitors, and printers handle color differently. Color management (color matching) is a method that manages device-dependent "colors" as a common color space.

For Windows, a color management system called "ICM" is built into the operating system.

sRGB is one of the common color spaces that is frequently used.

ICC profiles convert device-dependent "colors" into a common color space. By using an ICC profile and carrying out color management, you can draw out the color space of the image data within the color reproduction area that the printer can express.

Selecting a Printing Method Suited to the Image Data

The recommended printing method depends on the color space (sRGB) of the image data or the application software to be used.

There are two typical printing methods.

Check the color space (sRGB) of the image data and the application software to be used, and then select the printing method suited to your purpose.

Adjusting Colors with the Printer Driver

Describes the procedure for printing sRGB data by using the color correction function of the printer driver.

• To print using Canon Digital Photo Color

The printer prints data with color tints that most people prefer, reproducing colors of the original image data and producing three-dimensional effects and high, sharp contrasts.

- To print by directly applying editing and touch-up results of an application software

When printing the data, the printer brings out subtle color difference between dark and light areas, while leaving the darkest and lightest areas intact.

When printing the data, the printer applies fine adjustment results, such as brightness adjustments made with an application software.

Printing with ICC Profiles

Describes the procedure for printing by using the color space of sRGB effectively.

You can print with a common color space by setting up the application software and the printer driver so that the color management matches the input ICC profile of the image data.

The method for setting up the printer driver differs depending on the application software to be used.

Adjusting Colors with the Printer Driver

You can specify the color correction function of the printer driver to print sRGB data with color tints that most people prefer through the use of Canon Digital Photo Color.

When printing from an application software that can identify ICC profiles and allows you to specify them, use a printing ICC profile in the application software, and select settings for color management.

The procedure for adjusting colors with the printer driver is as follows:

  1. Open the printer driver setup window
  2. Select the manual color adjustment

On the Main tab, select Manual for Color/Intensity, and click Set....

The Manual Color Adjustment dialog box opens.

  1. Select color correction

Click Matching tab, and select Driver Matching for Color Correction.

Printing with ICC Profiles

When the image data has a specified input ICC profile, you can print by using the color space (sRGB) of the data effectively.

The printer driver setting procedure varies depending on the application software used to print.

Specify an ICC Profile from the Application Software and Print the Data

When you print the editing and touch-up results of Adobe Photoshop, Canon Digital Photo Professional, or any application software that allows you to specify input and printing ICC profiles, you print by effectively using the color space of the input ICC profile specified in the image data.

To use this printing method, use your application software to select color management items and specify an input ICC profile and a printing ICC profile in the image data.

Even if you print using a printing ICC profile that you created yourself from your application software, be sure to select color management items from your application software.

For instructions, refer to the manual of the application software you are using.

  1. Open the printer driver setup window

  2. Select the manual color adjustment

Adjusting Color Balance

You can adjust the color tints when printing.

Since this function adjusts color balance of the output by changing the ink ratios of each color, it changes the total color balance of the document. Use the application software when you want to change the color balance significantly. Use the printer driver only when you want to adjust the color balance slightly.

The following sample shows the case when color balance is used to intensify cyan and to diminish yellow so that the overall colors are more uniform.

Canon IJ Printer Driver

The Canon IJ printer driver (called printer driver below) is a software that is installed on your computer for printing data with this printer.

The printer driver converts the print data created by your application software into data that your printer can understand, and sends the converted data to the printer.

Because different models support different print data formats, you need a printer driver for the specific model you are using.

Printer Driver Types

On Windows Vista SP1 or later, you can install the XPS printer driver in addition to the regular printer driver.

The XPS printer driver is suited to print from an application software that supports XPS printing.

CANON Maxify MB2120 - Printer Driver Types - 1

General Notes (Scanner Driver)

ScanGear (scanner driver) is subject to the following restrictions. Keep these points in mind when using it.

Scanner Driver Restrictions

  • When using the NTFS file system, the TWAIN data source may not be invoked. This is because the TWAIN module cannot be written to the winnt folder for security reasons. Contact the computer's administrator for help.
  • Some computers (including laptops) connected to the machine may not resume correctly from standby mode. In that case, restart the computer.
  • Do not connect two or more scanners or multifunction printers with scanner function to the same computer simultaneously. If multiple scanning devices are connected, you cannot scan from the operation panel of the machine and also may experience errors while accessing the devices.
  • Scanning may fail if the computer has resumed from sleep or standby mode. In that case, follow these steps and scan again.

  • Turn off the machine.

  • Exit ScanGear, then disconnect the USB cable from the computer and reconnect it.
  • Turn on the machine.

- ScanGear cannot be opened in multiple applications at the same time. Within an application, ScanGear cannot be opened for the second time when it is already open.

- Be sure to close the ScanGear window before closing the application.

- When using a network compatible model by connecting to a network, the machine cannot be accessed from multiple computers at the same time.

- When using a network compatible model by connecting to a network, scanning takes longer than usual.

- Make sure that you have adequate disk space available when scanning large images at high resolutions. For example, at least 300 MB of free space is required to scan an A4 document at 600 dpi in full-color.

- ScanGear and WIA driver cannot be used at the same time.

- Do not enter the computer into sleep or hibernate state during scanning.

Applications with Restrictions on Use

  • If you start Media Center included in Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, you may not be able to scan using the operation panel of the machine. In that case, restart the computer.
  • You cannot scan images with Media Center included in Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. Scan with other applications such as IJ Scan Utility.
  • Some applications may not display the TWAIN user interface. In that case, refer to the application's manual and change the settings accordingly.
  • Some applications do not support continuous scanning of multiple documents. In some cases, only the first scanned image is accepted, or multiple images are scanned as one image. For such applications, do not scan multiple documents from the ADF (Auto Document Feeder).

Scanning Tips

Resolution
Data Formats
Color Matching

Resolution

The data in the image you have scanned is a collection of dots carrying information about brightness and color. The density of these dots is called "resolution," and resolution will determine the amount of detail your image contains. The unit of resolution is dots per inch (dpi). Dpi is the number of dots per inch (2.5 cm).

The higher the resolution (value), the more detail in your image; the lower the resolution (value), the less detail.

CANON Maxify MB2120 - Resolution - 1

text_image A A

How to Set the Resolution

You can set the resolution in the following screens.

IJ Scan Utility:

Resolution on the (Scanning from a Computer) tab of the Settings dialog box

ScanGear (Scanner Driver):

Output Resolution in Output Settings on the Advanced Mode tab

Appropriate Resolution Settings

Set the resolution according to the use of the scanned image.

Item Type Use ColorModeAppropriate Resolution
Color photoCopying(Printing)Color 300 dpi
Creating a postcard Color 300 dpi
Saving to a computer Color 300 dpi
Using on a website or attaching to e-mailColor 150 dpi
Black and white photoSaving to a computer Grayscale 300 dpi
Using on a website or attaching to e-mailGrayscale 150 dpi
Text document (document or magazine)CopyingColor, Grayscale, or Black and White300 dpi
Attaching to e-mailColor, Grayscale, or Black and White150 dpi
Scanning text using OCR Color or Grayscale 300 dpi

Important

- If you double the resolution, the data size of the scanned image quadruples. If the file is too large, the processing speed will slow down significantly, and you will experience inconvenience such as lack of memory. Set the minimum required resolution according to the use of the image.

Note

- When you will be printing the scanned image by enlarging it, scan by setting a higher resolution than the recommended one above.

Data Formats

You can select a data format when saving scanned images. You should specify the most suitable data format according to how you want to use the image on which application.

Available data formats vary by application and operating system (Windows or Mac OS).

See below for the characteristics of each image data format.

PNG (Standard File Extension: .png)

A data format often used on websites.

PNG is suitable for editing saved images.

JPEG (Standard File Extension: .jpg)

A data format often used on websites and for digital camera images.

JPEG features high compression rates. JPEG images slightly degrade every time they are saved, and cannot be returned to their original state.

JPEG is not available for black and white images.

TIFF (Standard File Extension: .tif)

A data format featuring a relatively high compatibility between various computers and applications.

TIFF is suitable for editing saved images.

Note

  • Some TIFF files are incompatible.
  • IJ Scan Utility supports the following TIFF file formats.
  • Uncompressed, black and white binary
  • Uncompressed, RGB (8 bits per channel)
  • Uncompressed, Grayscale

PDF (Standard File Extension: .pdf)

A data format for electronic documents, developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated.

It can be used on various computers and operating systems, and fonts can be embedded as well; therefore, people in different environments can exchange the files without being aware of the differences.

Color Matching

"Color Matching" is the act of making adjustments so that the color tones match between the original item, the monitor display, and the color printout. On your scanner or printer, the color tones are adjusted as shown below.

Example: When sRGB is selected as the output profile (target):

CANON Maxify MB2120 - Color Matching - 1

flowchart
graph TD
    A["Input Profile (Source)"] --> B["Scanner"]
    B --> C["ScanGear (Scanner Driver)"]
    C --> D["Output Profile (Target)"]
    D --> E["sRGB"]
    E --> F["OS/Application"]
    E --> G["Application/Printer Driver"]
    F --> H["Monitor"]
    G --> I["Printer"]

The image's color space is converted from the scanner's color space to sRGB by ScanGear.

When displaying on a monitor, the image's color space is converted from sRGB to the monitor's color space based on the operating system's monitor settings and the application's working space settings.

When printing, the image's color space is converted from sRGB to the printer's color space based on the application's print settings and the printer driver's settings.

Positioning Originals (Scanning from Computer)

Learn how to place items on the platen or ADF (Auto Document Feeder) of your scanner or printer. Place items correctly according to the type of item to be scanned. Otherwise, items may not be scanned correctly.
