I get error 1401 - print heads not installed (properly). WRONG!

The printer is new, it came with the standard cartridges, and when installing, i get the above error message and don't know what to do other than re-installing the print-heads or turning the printer on and off.

Make sure you removed all the shipping tape from the bottom of the cartridges and that you installed the cartridges in the correct bays.

Why is Alarm code 5 flashes not going away?


This is consistent with any of error codes 1401, 1403 and 1405. It indicates a problem with the print head.
Per Canon the resolution of these errors 'requires the assistance of a Canon authorised service facility. Please use the link at the top of the page to locate your nearest facility.'
From Canon error page for 'Orange light blinking 5 times':

1401/E05
Description: The print head is not installed or has not been properly installed.

1403
Description: A print head temperature sensor error has occurred.

1405
Description: Faulty data of the print head.

First, download the software at http://www.box.net/shared/4yblbn34kg

Secondly, to run the software your printer has to be in service mode. Do that by
- unplug cable
- press and hold "power" button
- plug cable
- press "resume" and release
- release the "power" button
At this stage, your computer will detect a new hardware

Run the software.

Nothing will print

5 times The print head is not installed [1401], or it is not properly installed (EEPROM data of the print head is faulty) [1403 / 1405]. Install the print head properly, and close the access cover. Or, with the print head installed, turn the printer off and on. This might help
