You might try a hard reset of printer along with uninstalling and reinstalling the software for the printer. If nada, you might give Canon a call and ask their techies for their feedback on situation.

on the test print paper there should be a set of numbers there (prints automatically after align print head is done), these will need to be added into the prompt that comes up in screen after "set value" shows up, but unless a major rebuild has just been done to machine I find this is rarely needed to be done < I just select skip or done to exit that mode

If you are using any refilled catridges, remove it and try with original one. See if any dust is present or any pieces of paper left or struck inside. Make sure the catridges are not empty. Try it out.
If still it does not happen then call the technician to check the sensor part of the printer.

open the top and check for any loose paper jams.then use some alcohol on a q-tip to clean all the rollers.

Have you downloaded or installed the full software for it? If so can you open the program first and initiate the scan from it?

sometime my printer does the same, print something and see how the black color is, if it is printing or it is the color ink that needs to replace also. i just keep printing until the ink get real light then i change them.

The fix for that error simply says to open the door by hand. If that doesn't fix the issue you need to contact a service center.

reinstall the printer drivers
