Canon MP610 Photo All-In-One Printer - Page 10 Questions & Answers
When turning on my Cannon mp610 I get error 6A00 -
or the purge unit needs replacement.
Incidentally, the 6A00 error pertains to all Canon printers made in the last several years, its not just used in one model.
And it’s always a paper path error or purge unit.
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.
That is where you'll find the print head assembly parked on top of it.
It also has an electrical pump to milk the print heads and test for ink flow.
So clean all under where the heads are parked and on IP6600D models you can take out the heads just by clipping them out, and then clean well.
Also clean the purge unit out make sure all is clean.
Please come back and just gave a vote, it will gave me some satisfaction to know am helping some one so I will keep on helping.

Hi there
Error A600
Your A600 is a paper path error, usually related to the purge unit. Try checking the purge unit for paper stuck in it.
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.
Almost 90% of the time is related to the purge unit being jammed with something and not being able to move.
Look for paper, paper clips, push pins, screws flower bud pods or the like.
The offending item needs to be removed or the purge unit needs replacement.

The purge unit is a white plastic assembly (on the right side of the printer where the print head homes) that is spring loaded on rides on a rail.
You can try moving it back and forth about 5 times or so and clean the rail with a cleanex and putting a little bit of some light oil on it and then close everything up and try it.

My printer got a paper jam now it won't take any
Hello there
You may not see a paper jam.
This may work for you, it has worked for many here I given this advice so gave it a try it could work for you.
Generally when this happens, something has fallen into the printer, or a piece of paper has been jammed in there.
First step, remove the ink cartridge, and turn the printer upside down and gently shake it, see if anything comes out.
If nothing goes, or you can't hear anything rattling around, get a piece of cardstock paper (60lb or heavier) and gently push this through the printer, to see if it will help push out what might be stuck in there.
And gave the rode that the ink slides on a good clean and maybe a bit oil on cloth and wipe the rod with it.
Also clean

Hi there
You need to be handy with your hands, you will have to open up all the printer to get inside it where you will see the ink tank with pads in it need to clean all out and after that you will need to reset it with the MPTools resetter.
Ok I have put a MP-Tools in my website for you to try out this tools are for reseting your inks plus it can do much more.
The MPTools can reset it in till you get time to clean the inkpads.
Click on the link to download it.

This error is a about a problem with the sheet feed unit.
Try to move manualy the ink-cartdrige from the left to right on the crriage, turn off, look for dust or pieces of jamming paper, clean the base-pad where the heads are stored, turn on.
If this is not working then you have serious problema with sheet feed unit :(
Suddenly stopped working. can't print
Hi there
This answers with a titch more detail.
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.
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 its 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 replacement.
Incidentally, the 6A00 error pertains to all Canon printers made in the last several years, its not just used in one model.
And it’s always a paper path error or purge unit.

Printing comes out with no
Hi
Thanks for using FixYa. First, try to clean the print head. To clean the print head take a hot
water towel with the printer unplugged and the cartridges out, clean it till the
time you see there is no ink residue on the towel. If still the issue is not resolved then I would say you require a new Print Head, the cost of new print head will be around $75, however you can buy a new printer in that cost. Please do accept the solution if the issue is
resolved or else revert for further assistance.
Thanks

The system says error 5100,
Hi You can Try 2 things.
There is some foreign object blocking your cartridges carriage that disables it from moving. Generally when this happens, something has fallen into the printer, or a piece of paper has been jammed in there.
First step, remove the ink cartridge, and turn the printer upside down and gently shake it, see if anything comes out.
If nothing goes, or you can't hear anything rattling around, get a piece of cardstock paper (60lb or heavier) and gently push this through the printer, to see if it will help push out what might be stuck in there
Next try.
It may be a piece of paper or a scotch tape or a staple wire.
Solution 1:
Clean the timing strip.
Solution 2:
The purge cap (the white sliding mechanism that the print head parks to when it's not in use) may be not lubricated well enough .
Lubricate the sliders with some white grease (don't get it on the small wipers or the black caps); this repair probably require to remove the right panel off of the printer to gain access to the purge mechanism.

I replaced the cyan ink cartridge.
It sounds like you need a new print head. You can find them online for around $75.00 each. I've had very good luck with Precision Roller. Do a google search for "canon mp610 print head".
