Canon PIXMA IP2870 Error Codes
Canon PIXMA IP2870 Reset Ink Levels on the Cartridges
The Canon IP2870 can not physically see inside the cartridges to learn just how much ink is left. The copper calls on the outside of the cartridge contain the ink level information. It is not possible to reset the ink levels to full. If you refill your cartridge, the printer will always reveal an empty cartridge message.
You could override the empty cartridge message by holding down the “stop/ reset” button on the printer for around 5 seconds. The printer must continue printing, and make use of any one of the continuing to be ink in the cartridge.
If the printer believes that both cartridges are vacant, you will get a 2nd error message, as well as you will hold the switch for one more 5 seconds.
If the wiring on the cartridges is damaged this procedure will not work.
