Quick answer

1730 means the tank may be exhausted of genuine Canon ink or may be counterfeit. Match the exact TS8300-series model, stop the job and follow Canon's documented branch once.

Safety first

Safe checks you can perform

  • Preserve the exact failure branch
  • Verify the tank and provenance without accusing from the code

Leave these tasks to a qualified professional

  • Do not attempt this professional task: Measured Canon service handoff for 1730

What a technician must be able to justify

Technician visit

These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.

These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.

  1. Measured Canon service handoff for 1730

    What they doProvide the exact model, serial number, 1730 message, job stage and the result of “Verify the tank and provenance without accusing from the code”. Ask the technician to reproduce the branch “the tank may be exhausted of genuine Canon ink or may be counterfeit” against the exact service information and record the failed observation or measurement before quoting a part.

Before accepting a part or repair

Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.

Follow these steps

Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.

  1. Preserve the exact failure branch

    No special tools

    Photograph 1730, the full touch-screen message and the exact TS8300 model. Note the paper source, active job and whether the code appeared before movement, during feed or after printing. The code narrows the branch to “the tank may be exhausted of genuine Canon ink or may be counterfeit”; it does not identify a replacement part.

  2. Verify the tank and provenance without accusing from the code

    No special tools

    Identify the displayed tank, exact designation, packaging and purchase record. Replacement with the correct verified tank preserves level detection. Canon also documents a five-second Stop override, but it disables monitoring and shifts damage risk to the user; do not present that as the default fix. Use Canon's reporting route only with actual provenance evidence.

What it means

Canon's official TS8300-series manual says support code 1730 means the tank may be exhausted of genuine Canon ink or may be counterfeit. This applies to the documented TS8320, TS8340, TS8350/51/52, TS8360, TS8370 and TS8390/91/92 family, not every Canon printer.

Symptoms and causes

Probable causes · in order

  • What usually triggers this codeCommon

    Canon's branch says the tank may have exhausted genuine Canon ink or may be counterfeit; the code alone cannot establish where it was bought or prove seller intent.

  • 1730 persists after the documented actionPossible

    If 1730 returns once the visible condition has been corrected, the safe external branch is exhausted. The recurrence proves only that the documented action did not resolve this branch; the display alone cannot select or confirm an internal component.
