this solution if you have problem with code Pixma MP600 Error Code 5010.
fisrt Please turn off the printer from the mains wall socket and unplug it from your computer. Take the paper out and put it back in, checking its all straight and no corners turned up etc. Then have a cup of tea (ie leave it for 5 minutes) Now plug it back in and switch on.
Allow it to warm up and try printing again.

There is an inner door (which is actually used for printing CD's) that you can pull down and gain more access to the carriage. Get a flashlight and a small mirror to inspect the contacts. Next thing to open the cover and when the head comes to the center, pull out the power cord. Then remove all of the ink cars and then the printhead and clean the contacts on the back of the head and those in the back of the carriage.

The only other thing to do is to take that ink cart back to Staples and see if they have a Canon printer demo there and test the ink cart, or get a new one.

Pixma MP970 that keeps showing Error 5100 have tried resetting with guide from a i550 and hjc4500 but I still have same problem I can only print half of a DVD but I can print all of any pages that I want to Any suggestion to this problem is greatly appreciate.

the 5100 is the carriage error and can be caused by 4 different sensors. First off the "Timing Strip" that passes through the back of the Carriage Assembly can be contaminated with ink spots and this needs to be cleaned. Open the cover and use your flashlight to examine the timing strip as much as you can see. You really don't have much access to this strip unless you remove the covers,..and doing that is considerable work. The other items that can cause this error are the sensor inside the carriage unit, the drive motor for the carriage asm, and of course the main logic card. However, 99.6% of the time it is the Timing strip which is easitly contaminated with splattered ink.

I have created Repair Manuals that can teach you how to disassemble and repair any Canon Printer but I can advertize or sell this product from this web site. If you want more information you will have to click on my USER ID and send me an email and I will provide more information. I don't have a Manual for the MP960 since I have not had one to repair, but I have all other cirtical information including the Canon Service Manual for the MP960.

The error code is standard for many of the late model MPxxx printers. The B200 error is "Printhead Temperature exceeded", What this means that while you were printing some document, either one or more of the printhead ink wells ran out of ink and the printing continued. Printhing without ink in the wells will OVERHEAT THE PRINTHEAD NOZZLES and can potentially burn the out. The printer has a built in temperature sensor to detect the ambient temperature and to monitor the temperature of the head. This data is always collected and monitored and saved in the EEprom data and the Service Test print data.

If the error will not go away once you have unplugged the priner for at least 5 minutes, then there is the possibility that you have already burnt out the head. Remove the printhead and use a 5x magnification glass to look VERY CLOSE at all of the nozzles to see if you can detect any possible burnt out nozzle. It many come down to need a new printhead.

Action
1. Contact
Is any of the contacts of the primary charging roller, developing assembly, or transfer charging roller soiled? Or, is there poor contact?
YES: Clean the contact, and set it once again.

2. Wiring
Is the wiring between the contacts for the following normal: DC controller PCB (J301), composite power supply PCB (J136), primary charging roller, developing assembly, transfer charging roller?
a. DC controller PCB (J301) <-> composite power supply PCB (J136)
b. composite power supply PCB (J130-7) <-> primary charging roller contact
c. composite power supply PCB (J130-1) <-> developing assembly contact
d. composite power supply PCB (FT133) <-> transfer roller contact

Solution from by Andy on justanswer, 6A00 is basically a hardware error related to Purge Unit. If printer is in warranty get it replaced by Canon. If not please read ahead.
1. Please open the printer cover and when the carriage head moves to center pull out the power cord.
2. The Purge unit is on the right side. Use a flashlight and you will see two ink pads. This is where the print-head is PARKED and is the top of the Purge unit.
3. There you will find wiper blades that move from the rear to the front. They wipe the bottom of the print-head when it is parked. (The ink pads actually drop down about 3/4" to allow the wiper blade to pass and then it is supposed to spring back to the rear. Also the ink suction for cleaning the print-head is done by the purge unit.)
4. Use some rubber gloves and a paper towel and see if you can press the ink pads down just a little bit - about 1/4". See if for some reason the wiper blade is stuck extended, if so see if you can get it unstuck.

Please do this gently such that you don't break anything there. This error indicates that the purge unit is not giving the correct timing signal as it rotates inside 360 degrees. Therefore, something is either broken or jammed inside. If you had a paper jam and tried to forcefully pull it out, you could have pulled the internal gears out of alignment. So you will need to do some maneouvers to try to release the cartridge from its parking position. Again, don't try hard.

If you got Canon Pixma IP4000R Error Code 5C00, i recomend for read this manual. this pdf writen by BAB's. here is inside the book, A couple weeks ago my Canon Pixma IP4000R would make a loud clicking or popping noise when it was either done or staring a print job. Another way to describe the sound was like plastic gear teeth stripping. Trying to print double sided
would also induce the sound. Immediately after the noise which would last perhaps 4 to 5 seconds, a printer dialog error would pop up and say there was a problem with the printer, the job was canceled, and to turn the printer off and on again.

The 5C00 error is well documented on the web as a “purge tank” error. The purge tank is the absorbent sponges (or pads) in the bottom of the printer that absorbs ink from normal print head maintenance and cleaning jobs. Error 5C00 is usually seen when the tank (ie. pads) starts to get somewhat full and prevent the “purge unit” from being able to vacuum a little ink from the print head. download Canon Pixma IP4000R Error Code 5C00 pdf book for detail here

the solution this is a printhead thermister error. The printhead is reporting either too high or too low temperature. Disconnect the data cables from the printhead and reconnect them making sure that they are in straight. If the problem continues a new printhead must be installed.

if your epson show message of " no maintenance tank"
try this The chips on the waste ink tanks or in the cavity which holds the waste ink tank are not communicating. Make sure the waste ink tank is firmly seated in the printer. If you have replaced the ink tank, I suspect that the chip within the printer is damaged.

Use the following safety guidelines to help ensure your own personal safety and to help protect your
system and working environment from potential damage.Your product uses a printing process that heats the print media, and heat can cause certain media to release emissions. You must understand the section in your operating instructions that discusses the guidelines for selecting appropriate print media to avoid
the possibility of harmful emissions.

Machine Error 46 – Purged Ink Box Full MFC620CN/420CN/410CN/210C and FAX2440C

The machine counts all purge (cleaning) operations in order to prevent the internal ink absorber box from overflowing with purged ink. An “initial purge”, for example, advances the purge counter by 187 + 420 = 607. When the purge counter approaches 6400, an internal "Machine Error 46" is generated. Further purge operations are prohibited, and therefore the printer becomes unuseable.

When an internal Machine Error 46 is generated, the user will see an “Unable to Clean” external message and will be unable to use the printer. The “Unable to Clean” external message can relate to many different internal error codes however.

The user can establish the internal Machine Error Code as follows: pull the mains cable out of the machine (power off), hold down the Menu/Set key, re-insert the mains cable into the machine (power on). The internal Machine Error Code will be displayed.

If there is a Machine Error 46, it is necessary to dismantle the printer, replace the ink absorber box (or possibly break the ink absorber box open and clean its absorbent sponges under a tap), re-assemble the printer and reset the purge counter to zero.

Resetting purge counter MFC620CN/420CN/410CN/210C and FAX2440C
