Τα ανακατασκευασμένα μελανάκια PG-40 ,CL-41, PG-510 / PG-512, CL-511 /CL-513 της Canon ο εκτυπωτής τα βλέπει άδεια. Μη πανικοβάλλεστε. Τα μελανάκια σας είναι γεμάτα και έτοιμα προς χρήση. Απλά αγνοήστε το μήνυμα πατήστε OK (ή συνέχεια) και συνεχίστε να τυπώνετε . Σε πολλούς εκτυπωτές απαιτείται να πατήσετε και να κρατήσετε πατημένο για 5-10 δευτερόλεπτα το κουμπί RESUME, STOP/RESET, or COLOR START(μια φορά για το μαύρο και μια για το έγχρωμο, όχι κάθε φορά).

Some printers that accept Canon PG40 / CL41 style inkjet cartridges won't recognize the refilled cartridge. This seems to happen more so with Canon printers that have a fax function. 

Here are some printer reset methods that seem to be working for some Canon models (other models may also apply) 

This procedure has been known to work in the Canon MP-160 / MX-300 (and possibly other models): 

1. Disconnect the power, the hold down the power button while you connect the power back on to the printer 
2. With the power button still down, press twice the "Cancel/Stop" button 
3. Release the power button 
4. Wait for a few seconds until printer enters "Idle" mode 
5. Press the right arrow (next to the "OK" button) once."Shipping Mode 3" 
6. Press "OK" 
7. Press "OK" again for "Without cleaning" 
8. A test page will print. 
9. Open the cover, the cartridges will shift 
10. Disconnect the power cable again. 
11. Take out both cartridges. 
12. Close the cover 
13. Connect the power cable once again. 
14. Turn the printer on and reinsert the cartridges

Here is an over-ride solution by Canon to get Canon inkjet printers to accept refilled Canon PG-30 / CL-31 / PG-40 / CL-41 / PG-50 / CL-51 ink cartridges: 

PIXMA IP Series Printer 
Including: 
IP1600 
Ink Compatibility PG-40 Black, CL-41 Color 
IP1700 
Ink Compatibility PG-40 Black, CL-41 Color

Install cartridge. 
Message 1: 
“The ink cartridge has been installed or replaced. If the 
print out contains misaligned lines or is not satisfactory 
after the installation or replacement, refer to the user’s 
guide and carry out the print head alignment.” 
OK 
Click OK to continue. Printer will start printing. 
If second message appears and yellow light flashes: 
“The following may have run out of color. The function for 
detecting the remaining ink level will be disabled since the 
ink level cannot be correctly detected. If you want to 
continue printing with out this function, press the printer’s 
resume button for at least 5 seconds. Canon recommends 
using new genuine Canon cartridges in order to obtain 
optimum quality. Please be advised that Canon shall not 
be liable for any malfunction or trouble caused by continuation 
of printing under the ink out condition.” 
Cancel Printing About ink 
Do not click “cancel printing”. Press and hold down 
printer resume button until the yellow light disappears and 
the green light stays on. Printer will start printing. This 
action will bypass the ink level detection from the recycled 
cartridge. It will not damage the printer! With a recycled 
cartridge this action needs to be done one time. 
A full recycled cartridge ink level may not display correctly. 
It may show empty. 
If you want to check the ink level, you can do a “Nozzle 
check” by following the directions below: 
Go to menu File select print
click on “Property”
click 
on “Maintenance” 

Click on “Nozzle check” to print out the color check. 

Click on “Cartridge Alignment” to align the cartridge.
