CANON iX500 error 5C10

disconnect it from power for 10 minutes and also check for jammed paper. That should do the trick

This error is a message indicating print head/ink failure on the printer.
I would try the following 2 things:
1. replace the ink cartridges/print heads. test to see if the problem is fixed.
2. If this does not solve the issue, you may need to either send it to the manufacturer for repairs (if under warranty), send it to a local repair person to service- or look for a new printer to buy (which may actually save you money).

Can't solve it, but I have it. My Canon has not booklet print option when it's used as a wetwork printer, but it does when it's connected directly. Why?

I keep getting error 5C10 and can not print anything. Have turned it off and on and still doesn't work.

Error Code 5C10 may indicate a problem with a paper jam, or your MP830 may need to be reset.

Canon MP830 Error 5C10

I think there was a broken pieces of hardware in the print carriage.
According to the Canon Center this one cannot be fixed. If your printer is under warranty, send it to them.
