Maintenance Cartridge for the Canon PRO-2000, Canon PRO-4000, Canon PRO-4000s and Canon PRO-6000
Posted June 21 2019What is the maintenance cartridge?
It serves as a receptacle for waste ink during cleaning, normal startup procedures and full-bleed printing. Sometimes it is also referred to as maintenance tank.
When do I replace it?
The Canon printer will indicate when the maintenance cartridge is about 75% full (on computer screen and by flashing the orange light bar above the printer screen). At this time, you should order a new maintenance cartridge, but do not replace it until the printer tells you to replace it.
