Drivers Canon Lide 110. When your Canon Pixma printer is having trouble recognising one or more of the cartridges installed it will present you with the Check Ink 1401, 1687 or 1485 error message. The official Canon explanations for these codes are “The FINE cartridge is not installed” for 1401, “The FINE cartridge is not installed properly” for 1687 and “Appropriate ink cartridge is not installed” for the 1485 message.
Although several of these messages refer to Canon FINE cartridges this does not mean that you have an new genuine Canon cartridge installed and can still use your printer with the correct refilled or remanufactured ink cartridge. More information on Canon FINE cartridges can be found. Is there any way to fix the 1401, 1687 and 1485 support codes? Depending upon the message you are receiving the cause will vary.
“The FINE cartridge is not installed” or “The FINE cartridge is not installed properly” indicate something is breaking communication between one or more of the installed cartridges and your printer, and “Appropriate ink cartridge is not installed” indicates a cartridge installed in the incorrect position within your printer. To resolve any of these Canon error messages please follow the steps below until the message disappears. • Ensure both a black and colour cartridge are installed. Open up your printer and remove both cartridges to ensure the one of each cartridge is installed. Your printer requires that both a black and colour cartridge is installed in order to print, even if you only wish to print in black/colour.

Although many Canon cartridges are similar in appearance your printer requires specific cartridges to be installed in order to recognise them and print with them. The cartridge should be carrying codes machine or at least similar to PG-540, PG-540XL, PG-545 or PG-545XL for the black and CL-541, CL-541XL, CL-546 or CL-546XL for the colour cartridge. Which codes are correct for your specific printer will depend upon the model of your printer.
