That error, 6A00, says that the cleaning station is either stuck or broken. If the printhead is not stuck on the right, pull it out to the center and look inside with a light and see if paper scraps or something is stopping it. There is also a spring loaded squeegee that could be stuck on the rubber cups and needs to be gently pushed to the rear. If The squeegee is stuck you need to use a wet Q-tip and clean the tracks it rides on and it shouldn't stick again. If these things don't help you will need a shop to replace the purge unit. about $20.00 plus labor charges. It is too complex to replace at home.

On printer screen it is showing Error 6A00 and error code. Whats does this mean and how can I fix it

In my IP 3000 during a print suddenly on the 3rd page, a big "crunch" sound. Paper was jammed - error 5100 or smthg, and managed to remove the paper... but then error 6A00 came up. I found this post and was saved. Manually moved the print head left and right, turned the printer on/off. Still the same error. Then I noticed a piece of torn paper lodged inside. Removed that, got inky fingers, and finally got printer in working condition.
Try to clean any foreign object inside.May be it can help you.

Canon prixma has error 6A00 displayed. Turned printer off and removed plug. Message appeared again.

6A00 means that the purge assembly is jammed. You can try to clean it but the only fix I've found is to replace it. #qm2-3032-000. The part runs around $30.00.

Cannon printer

6A00 is a problem with the sheet feed unit.
Follow Canon's suggestion, take it or send the unit UPS to the Authorized Repair Facility.
You will NOT be able to resolve the problem yourself.
