Hi there. can i ask for a diagram of my cannon mp145? i just want to open it and clean it. its so dirty and plenty of split ink inside. can you send me and tell me whats the best thing to clean my printer?

Your blue ink maybe empty or clogged.
Do a couple of deep cleaning cycles.
This may help.

USE ONLY ON PLAIN PAPER , STANDARD QUALITY.

Hi there
You need to be handy with your hands, you will have to open up all the printer to get inside it where you will see the ink tank with pads in it need to clean all out and after that you will need to reset it with the MPTools resetter.

Ok I have put a MP-Tools in my website for you to try out this tools are for reseting your inks plus it can do much more.


The MPTools can reset it in till you get time to clean the inkpads.


Click on the link to download it.

This is mainly a result of dirty contacts. The contacts between the catridge and the connective socket is either loose of not clean or to say Dirty. Try cleaning the contacts with alcohol. Also make sure that the ink catridge is supported by your printer.

Open your printer. Locate Waste Ink Pad inside in your Printer, on the right hand side are quite small.
You can remove the pads & holder with a gentle pull.
Using a tissue, soak as much as ink as possible and clean around the waste ink area.
Be careful & Patient.
Whilst the printer is disconnected from the main power. Press and hold the Power Button and reconnect to AC Power.
Release the Power Button & Press the Power Button Again.
Good luck!
If i am helpful to you, please rate me.
Thank you.

change the absorber pad

When you install your all in one printer scanner, they ask you to install the assistance software with it u can install that and use the scanner via that software. Or make sure you have installed your device perfectly than go to start programs and to Microsoft office than to Microsoft office tools and than to document imaging scanning option than follow on screen instructions. If you have installed the device it will recognize it automatically.

I have the same problem. did you ever find a diagram to help put the springs back in?
