Kindly go through the link. Where have you read this error is "due to black ink".

Please clarify, so that we can solve the problem.

Unless , i would appreciate if you can contact Canon or Local tech. It might happen, if you are using the product first time.

- Hi,

The meaning of the above error :-

The ink has run out (The lamp on the ink tank flashes).

Replace the ink tank, and close the Scanning Unit (Printer Cover).

If printing is in progress and you want to continue printing, press [OK] with the ink tank installed. Then printing can continue under the ink out condition. Replace the empty ink tank immediately after the printing. The machine may be damaged if printing is continued under the ink out condition.

Note

If multiple ink tank lamps are flashing red, check how fast they flash. Fast flashing (at about one second interval) indicates the ink is empty. Slow flashing (at about three second interval) indicates ink is low. For details on different flashing speeds, see Knowing When to Replace Ink Tank.

Print head is not installed./The type of print head is incorrect.
Follow the directions given in the Easy Setup Instructions to install the Print Head.

If the Print Head is already installed, remove the Print Head and reinstall it.

If this error still remains, the Print Head may be damaged. Contact a Canon service representative.

Inner cover is open. Close the inner cover and press [OK]./Open the inner cover, place the CD-R tray and press [OK].
If the Inner Cover is open when starting normal printing, close it before pressing [OK] on the machine.

If the Inner Cover is closed when starting DVD/CD printing, open it with the Scanning Unit (Printer Cover) closed and set the CD-R Tray before pressing [OK] on the machine.

Do not open or close the Inner Cover when printing. This may damage the machine.

Some ink tanks are not installed in place.

Any further help, let me know.

Hope i helped.
