Canon PIXMA iP4000 InkJet Photo Printer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

I think the 6A00 is a mechanism jam code. There is a device that slides back n forth and acts like a window cleaners squeegie on the printhead. This mechanism seemed to be stuck at its full extention rather than being back at home base. It gets blocked up with drying ink and that had acted like a glue holding it. This has to be released in order to move the print head. If you are a technical head then attempt it otherwise take it to a Canon technician.

there are a couple things you can try. 1. you can try deleting the software and re downloading it all and see if that works. 2.you can try to unplug it from the wall outlet and leave it sit for about 5 to 10 minuets and then plug it back in.

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.

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.

Issue: Banded or streaked prints
Solution: Change the Print Quality Settings (Windows)

Change the Print Quality Settings (Windows) The Quality setting controls how finely ink droplets are placed on the printed page. Depending on the type of paper being used a higher Print Quality setting does not always insure a better print. Print speed will decrease as the Print Quality setting is increased. Follow the instructions below to change the print quality settings in the Canon printer driver for the Windows operating system through a printing application.

1. Click 'Properties' in the Print dialog box.
   
   Note: Depending on the Application software, 'Properties' may be displayed as 'Preferences'.
   
   
2. Set the desired print quality in the 'Print Quality' section.
   
   
3. Select 'High', 'Standard', or 'Draft / Fast'.
   

To set more detailed print quality settings, follow this procedure:

1. Select 'Custom' and click 'Set'.
   
   
   
   
2. In the Set Print Quality dialog drag the slide bar from 'Fast' to 'Fine' to select the print quality.
   
   
   
   Note: There are five options in 'Quality'. However, selectable options are limited depending on the media type.
   
   
3. Select 'Auto', 'Dither', or 'Diffusion' from the 'Halftoning' section.

Replace the print head.

It sounds like there is a blockage or junk sitting over one or more jets in the printhead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEkKGBUSwNg have a look at this u tube video and you may be able to fix it.

You can't. You will need to replace the waste ink tank when it becomes full before it will allow you to print anymore. I had to do that with my Canon at one time too.

Go to the maintenance tab in the Windows Printer Driver property

Run the self cleaning head function, to clean ink jets(heads).

disconnect the power adapter from the printer, and check if it still goes off after a blink if it does the same try different wall outlet if it still does the same thing, try disconnect and reconnect the adapter from the power cable if still the same issue replaced the adapter let me know about the situation

Hi , try to nozzle check if lucking of colors appear need head cleaning twice it depend how color are present during test print.

hello this error means that the EEPROM data of the print head is faulty so is a problem with the print head, Install the print head properly,and close the access cover. Or, with the print head installed, turn the printer off and on, i hope it will help And please check the below link to get the service manual for ip4000 it will be helpful:http://goo.gl/EdjmhGood luck.

The Canon PIXMA iP4000 InkJet Printer has two paper sources for printing. Likely the top feeder tray is not completely closed (it is possible you do not have the printer set up to feed from both which may cause the error).See the Quick Start Guide and the Picture Below:

Go to this site:

IP1200 Support

Select your Operating System and language from the drop-down menus and click "Submit".

The available software (driver and other) will be listed for download.

Thanks for using Fixya.

The Canon PIXMA iP4000 has a RESUME/CANCEL button which allows you to resume a print job after an error has been fixed or cancel a print job altogether.You can find the manual here: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_ip_series/pixma_ip4000#BrochuresAndManuals

Carefully take out the ink cartridge from the printer. Make sure that you unplugged the printer. Do not touch any electrical wiring. Attach the new ink cartridge. A distinct click will confirm that you reinstalled it properly. Do not expose the cartridge to heat or light for more than 10 minutes to prevent damage. And run a test print.

What version of Win 7 are you using? and is it the 64bit or 32bit version? Once you know this info go to:http://driverscollection.com/?H=PIXMA%20iP4000&By=Canonand download the correct/newest drivers. Good luck.
