This will clear your printer from displaying common printer errors like
U053,
U051 and U052. The importance of the "reset the cartridge"
procedure is to avoid the printer from detecting your cartridge as
reused one. The steps below is recommended to do after refilling an ink
cartridge.
1. Turn off your printer
2. Press and hold the
STOP/RESET button
3. Press and hold Power ON button
4. While
holding the Power ON button, release the STOP/RESET button
5. While
holding still the Power ON button, press twice the STOP/RESET button
6.
Release the Power ON button
7. Wait until it display an "idle"
message. It will take about a minute.
8. When "idle" appear, open
the top cover to expose the cartridges.
9. Lift up the cover for
cartridge holder and take out both the black and color cartridges
10.
Return the cover of cartridge holder and turn off the printer
11.
Return the top cover and turn on the printer again
12. After the
printer initialize, return the cartridges.
What happened when ink ran out from a
refilled cartridge and the printer detected it?
The printer
will display an error
U162 or U163. All functions of the all-in-one printer will stop and
your printer will not work. The next thing you will know is you are in
the front of a computer shop and buy a genuine canon cartridge.
But
wait, there is still a way to fix this. Reset it again using a different
procedure. Reset the detections of reusable cartridge.
1. Turn off
your printer an turn it on again
2. After the printer initialize
try to copy or print. The error will appear.
3. When the error is
displayed on the display panel of the printer, Press and Hold the
STOP/RESET button and wait until it self restart.
4. Release the
STOP/RESET button the the printer is restarting.
5. Wait for a few
seconds and the pending print jobs will commence.

SOURCE: i just replaced the ink
that is the error for unknown ink level. press the OK buton for at least 10 seconds and the error should be removed.
SOURCE: what does the message check ink u051 BLK Col mean?
Hold the resume/reset button down for a fair few seconds and this usually overrides the message - it will make a sort of loud click sound when achieved.
