E5 and 2,114,0 errors on Canon MP160

I've just bought a second hand MP160,which I only intended to used as a scanner.
I can't get the scanner to operate due to an E5 error on the display,and a 2,114,0 error which appears as a pop-up when I attempt to scan.

Although empty,the cartridges are of the correct type and are seated properly.

When I remove the cartridges completely the error codes do not change.

Is an empty cartridge enough to cause this issue?

Many thanks. E4 E5 ERROR TENGO MP140

  • jameskx85 Nov 21, 2008

    I refilled both of my ink cartriges a week ago and the printer wouldnt let me print. i pressed a button (orange triange in a circle) for 5 seconds and the E disappeared and i could print again. I have been scanning pictures recently however today the scanner wont work. it says something about "printer maintenance, continue after, code 2,114,0".

    can anyone help?

    the printer no action when i press a reset button. always display E5, 2,114,0. I believe no problem of ink cartridge install, i think this is a easy job, but when i installed the black and color cartridge, the two light twinkling, when i remove the color cartridge, and just the color cartridge light twinking.......
    i have no ideal of it.... i just when to use the scan function, i heard someone told me that MP160 can not scan when the cartridge have problem.

Bought used canon mp160 however did not get a

You can download some of the drivers and such from Canon. I installed a used MP160 on a Mac by downloading the scanner driver, printer driver, MP Navigato program, and "on screen manual" (a help file). There are similar downloads for Windows. Unfortunately they don't have the OmniPage SE software for download so you can't do OCR.
