Hi,

This is a VERY VERY common problem on this model. Usually this is a hardware failure - ( logic board ) which is not economical to replace compared to the cost of the printer.However, the main concern is Canon does not make this kind of multifunctional machine anymore, which combines print, fax, scan and print to CD/DVD.

There are few tricks that might work. The tricks are mentioned below :-

A)

1. Turn off printer
2. Hold down Resume button and press Power button.
3. Keep holding down Power button and let Resume button go.
4. Press Resume button 2 times then let BOTH buttons go.
5. Green lights will flash and then stop blinking.
6. When green lights are solid, press the Resume button 4 times.
7. Press the Power button and the printer should turn off, if not,
press the Power button once more.
8. Your printer should respond as normal..

B)

Open the machine and remove the ink cartridges then look inside with a flash light and make sure nothing is in the path of the carriage.
Then turn off the machine and wait 30 seconds. Turn it back on and wait for the insert cartridge message. Then reinsert the cartridges into the machine.
Then move the cradle back and forth a few times manually by hand.
Then close the cartridges access door and turn the machine off.
Then unplug it and wait 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes plug it back in and turn it on.


If this does not solve the problem, you need to send the unit for repair.

Hello
Unfortunitly this is not an easy fix. IF you still have under warranty you can contact Canon and they will fix it. If its not under warranty they can refer you to the nearest Canon Service center.
The 6A00 error is an internal error which can be caused by one of the following things.
- Sheet feed unit - Logic board - Purge unit
Good Luck

The 6A00 is a Canon generic code for paper path jam. Some where in the paper path a sensor is activated indicating paper jam so the printer will give off a 6A00 code.
Clear a purge unit if its jammed with paper, paper clips, push pins, screws, cookie crisp, flower bud pods or the like

then u take out the ink cart to clean the contact point, use the rubber eraser to clean the contact point to remove if any dust or oil..

Welcome to FixYa!

"Check printer error" occurs if the printer is not functioning properly.

Solution 1.
Reset the printer to clear the memory.

• On the operator panel, press and hold the button for one second. (The display will go blank.)

Note: It may be necessary to unplug the power cord if pressing the ON/OFF button does not shut off the printer.

• Wait approximately ten seconds and then press the button again.
• Wait until the device has completed its cycling process before using it again.

Solution 2.
Reset the print head to correct print issues or clear print error.

• Confirm that the printer is powered on and press the button. (The paper output tray will open.)

• Lift the scanning unit (printer cover) completely. (The print head will move to the replacement position.)

Note: When the scanning unit (printer cover) is opened more than ten minutes, the print head moves to the right side. If this occurs, close the scanning unit (printer cover), and open it again.

• Open the inner cover.
• Remove the ink tanks by pressing the tab of each tank.

Caution: Handle the ink tanks with care so that your clothes and surrounding area do not get soiled. Make sure to remove the ink tanks one by one.

• Raise the print head lock lever.
• Tilt the print head slightly towards the front of the machine and lift out gently.

Caution: Do not touch the print head nozzles , electrical contacts , or ink supply ports . Doing so may cause printing problems.

• Place the print head in the print head holder and lower the print head lock lever carefully until you hear a click.
• Insert ink tanks into the print head.
• Press the mark on the ink tank firmly until you hear a click.
• Ensure that all the ink tanks are installed properly and the ink tank lamps light red.
  

The ink tanks are installed properly.
The ink tanks are not installed properly.

Close the inner cover and the scanning unit (printer cover).
Note: The next printing begins, the print head cleaning will begin automatically.

I hope that this 2 solutions will resolve your printer problem.
Thank you for using FixYa.
Keep me posted.

do you have any errors displayed?
Try to reset the printer >
Disconnect the power cord from both the device and the electrical source.After disconnecting the power cord, wait at least five minutes and then reconnect the power cord.
If you are still unable to obtain power to the device, try another power outlet.
If possible, try connecting power directly to a wall outlet (as opposed to using a surge protector or power strip...just as a troubleshooting measure).

Lift the lid from just under the LCD Screen on the printer. The cartridges should be visible, simply slide them out and replace.

ehh hva er det som er feil forklar problem og feilmelding ( kode )

A600 error

The 6A00 is a Canon generic code for paper path jam. Somewhere in the paper path a sensor is activated indicating paper jam so the printer will give off a 6A00 code. As a Canon tech, I usually find the code, almost 90% of the time, is related to the purge unit being jammed with something and not being able to move. Moving the print head assembly will not clear a purge unit if it is jammed with paper, paper clips, push pins, screws, cookie crisp, flower bud pods or the like. And yes I have found all those things in a purge unit. The offending item needs to be removed or the purge unit needs Incidentally, the 6A00 error pertains to all Canon printers made in the last several years; it is not just used in one model. And it is always a paper path error or purge unit.I forget myself so here goes, the purge unit, called a spittoon assembly in an HP, Lexmark, and other inkjet printers, is where the print head assembly parks when not in use, also its other job is to clean and make sure the print head is clean and open for printing.
