Canon MP700 Multifunction printer displays message "Wrong cartridge"

OK - All new genuine Canon cartridges installed. These cartridges have no electrical contacts, nor does the cartridge carrier in the printer. I have cleaned the ink ports between the cartridge and the carrier. When the printer is switched on the "Wrong cartridge" message keeps coming up on the LCD display.

    I tried this sequence but with no result. However I could not see any "Power LED" light. Is this the light labelled "Indicator light" - No. 14 in the Main Components diagram of the manual? Which "table below" are you referring to? Is that missing from your posted instructions?

    OK I tried that but it did not work, possibly because I could not see a "Power LED" light. Is that the light labelled "Indicator Light" - No. 14 on the components diagram in the manual? Also which "table below" are you referring to? Is that missing from your post?

    Thank you for your advice Joe, but after talking to a Canon service centre and a print cartridge supplier we have decided to junk the Canon and buy a Brother!

SOURCE: error message wrong cartridge

Rover,

There in is the problem, these cartridges are not made to be refilled. You are lucky to have got away with this for this long. The most likely scenario is that your printhead has now failed which is why it will not recognise your cartridge.
The first thing you might try is to go out and buy a new cartridge. If this fails, then you will need to replace the print head. In this case, you would be better off calling it quits and getting yourself a new printer.

I am sorry if this is not all that you want to hear, but that is the facts and I would be doing you an injustice to tell you otherwise.

Sorry this isn't a solution but I'm having the same problem. Even if I exchange the colors, it's always the cyan no matter what slot it's in!?!?! Not the slot.

Can I turn that color OFF???

Hello !

Many cartridges now have expiration date chips built into them. So, since you mentioned that the cartridges are "old", they may have expired. Check the date.

Hope this helps.

I have a canon mp730 and since I have replaced my ink cartriges I keep geting a wrong cartridge message. I have checked and rechecked installation and re booted several times to no avail. I have checked...

Many times , if we use refilled ink cartridge , then also we might get such error messages on the printer display .
Ensure that you are using genuine Canon ink cartridges.. but if the error is after changing to a new set of genuine ink cartridges..
try by cleaning the electrical contacts of both ink cartridge and the printer.. and also do a semi full reset..

Error message wrong cartridge

its not a true fix but I had the same issue. I turned off printer and slightly moved the paper thickness lever over a few inches. I turned it back on and the cartridge error was off. I do get a pop up from my printer program on the computer every time I initiate a print job asking to correct the lever, I click OK and it prints. I know its aRube Goldberg fix but I need this printer every day for work and for now it works.

Wrong cartridge

I have the multipass mp700 and have just experienced the same message ..... wrong cartridge. After reading the manual, from the disc, it means that there's something wrong with the print head, most likely needs cleaning, but it won't clean because the printer is sending a malfunction message. I will be trying to clean the head and if that doesn't fix it then I'll buy a new print head. Good luck with the problem.

Hello! I onw a Canon MultiPass MP700 printer (copy, scan and print) and I recently changed one of the 4 catridges and replaced it by a compatible one (BCI-3eM bought at Staples) as usual. I have never been...

Erm... the cartridge is wrong. There is not much more one can do to communicate the fact the cartridge is the problem.

Throw out the compatible one you bought - or if you want a refund, return it the store as faulty - and get a replacement. I suggest a genuine one since you had the problem with a faulty compatible (up to 30% of compatibles can be faulty)

I bet you a Fixya rating that once you replace the cartridge for a correct genuine item, your message will go away and your printer will once again be happy.

Alert! Wrong Cartridge message

If you are absolutely sure that cartridge is installed correctly, the contacts where cartridge may be dirty. Clean gently with soft lint free cloth with small amount of rubbing alcohol and retry. If problem persists the contacts may have been damaged.
