Canon Canon PIXMA G7020 MegaTank Wireless All-in-One Inkjet Printer with ADF and Fax 1470 Error Fix: Support Code 1470 — Ink Tank Not Recognized (MegaTank)

One or more refillable ink tanks are not properly recognized by the printer. On MegaTank models, the ink tanks have snap-in connectors that mate with the printer's ink system. Open the ink tank cover and check that each tank is snapped fully into place. The tanks should click when properly seated. Check the tank contacts for ink contamination — wipe gently with a dry lint-free cloth. If you recently refilled the tanks, make sure you used genuine Canon GI-20 (or GI-21) ink bottles and that the tanks were filled to the correct level (do not overfill past the upper line). Incompatible third-party ink can cause detection issues on some MegaTank models.
