Canon Pixma iP6000 Installation Instructions
Installation Procedure
Canon Pixma iP6000 with MIS CFS Installed
Prerequisite -
Before starting this installation, you MUST test your printer to make sure it is printing 100%
correctly. The best way to do this is to first print a Nozzle pattern, using the printer utility
software provided by Canon. Once a perfect nozzle pattern is achieved, print 5 copies of the
MIS purge6.tif image using the Plain Paper and Standard Quality settings on the printer. All 5
pages must print without banding or skipping (white spaces). If your printer can not do this, do
not install the CFS. Run some cleaning cycles or get new cartridges. Do not proceed until you
can pass these tests. The Purge6 image can be found on the diskette included with your
system. If you have a Mac you can download it from our website. You can also get it from the
Helpdesk Download Library.
