When the printer is turned on the following message occurs - 6000

-   Just begun installing the new Canon printer MP540 for my dad. The first time when putting the machine "on" the display only says: "6A80 printer error has occured", and the orange light keeps burning on and off. After installing the CD with the print program, nothing changes, its a new printer but it just doesn't get started the first time. There's already normal paper in the front and photopaper in the back, the inktcartridges are placed in the right way. What's the matter?
