According to the Canon website there are three possible reasons for this error:

Issue: ERROR LCD: Error Code 5100

1. Press ON switch to reset the multifunction device 2. Remove packing material MP980 (I think this is referring to the packing materinal when you first open the printer) 3. The MP980 may require repair

error [6000] or light blinking 3 times is mean there is an error occurred in the LF encoder signal.

Error 6500 is a logic board error code (= 'other hardware error').

Before committing to replacing a logic board, ensure that the error has not been generated and held by spurious external signals. Reseat the ink cartridges. Remove any memory card(s). Check any flaps / covers are properly closed (eg. CD printing cover). Turn off the printer and disconnect the power lead and USB lead to the computer. Leave the printer disconnected from power and data signals for several minutes, allowing time for any static electrical signals present on the logic board to discharge.

Reconnect printer and test.

try to change the color ink. horizontal banding (the pink or other color lines appearing means horizontal banding) when there is a problem on one of the heating element of the printer head. since almost all canon printers have head built in the inks, replacing the faulty ink will solve the problem. if not then the controller of printhead on the carriage and mainboard needs to be checked.

bukes1 is actually right. I have the same printer and I'm having the same problem. The MP980 has a black, pixel black, cyan, magenta, yellow, and a grey cartridge, so 6 all together. The grey replacement cartridge is not readily available at a store. You have to purchase it online. I don't understand why Canon does not include it in the color multi-pack. It's quite a nuisance, because when the cartridge runs out you can't print at all.
