What 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.

Orange Light indicates the printer needs attention

Can I continue to print if the maintenance cartridge is full?

No.  Once the cartridge is full it cannot be used.  And there is nothing that can be done, except to replace it with a new one.
