What is Error U163 in Canon Pixma MX328?

U163 is an error code that appears in the LCD Display Panel after the printer detected that an ink has run out from 1 or 2 of the ink cartridges inside the printer.

During the printing process when the ink run out from the ink cartridges and the paper print is blank, this error will not appear unless you remove the black and the color ink cartridges from the cartridge carrier. After you refill them using manufactured inks and return them back inside the printer, error u163 will appear. This because the printer detected that the ink cartridges that you place inside the printer was already out of ink. 

How to Fix Error U163 in Canon MX328?

 
The best advise is to replace the empty ink cartridge with OEM cartridge. However, for most printer users who wants to save extra money, they would resort to refilling their empty cartridges with manufactured inks.And later experience the U163 error.

Here is what you need to do to clear this error:
