Ink Absorber Full
This may
clear the ink absorber problem.
There is ink absorbers located at both ends of the printer
where the ink head move.
To dry the ink absorber, power up the printer and open the cover so the ink
cartridges and print head will move to the middle of the printer.
Then take several sheets of absorbent tissue, fold it into a pad and place it
inside the printer over the ink absorber on the far left hand side of the
printer to soak up the excess ink. You may need to change the absorbent tissue
a few times. Then repeat the same procedure on the right hand ink absorber.
Close the lid and the printer should now function normally.
Scanner lock switch
Somewhere on the machine there is a lever that locks the scanner assembly in place for when it's transported. You need to look around all sides or under the top (when you raise it) you might find it along side of the glass.Good luck!
How to reset the Canon MX850 Printer, after ink
One way is to hold the 'Stop/Reset' button for at least 5 seconds until
the display shows a new message about ignoring the current ink
condition. This does not reset the chip but it does allow you to continue printing with the refilled ink tanks.
