I don't understand how to install the first ink cartridge.

try and reset your printer,unplug the power cord and wait 10 min, then plug back in,understand that Canon has installed a chip so you cannot use refilled cartridges,or cartridges you refill,if this doesn't work,then contact Canon,and you could get the same message I got take it in to be repaired, (to costly), so I end up buying a new one,,

there is a chance of cartridge been damaged either because of refilling or by any other reason try changing the cartridge

actually you cannot print it without the color ink installed

Hello and welcome to FixYa!

Error E5 means that the ink cartridge is not installed or the ink cartridges is not installed properly or may be non-supported ink cartridge is installed.
It may also mean that if you have both cartridges in printer one or both are failed. To solve this problem check print cartridges and replace first color, if not help replace black ink. Install the appropriate fine cartridge and also If the lines are misaligned or resulting output is not satisfactory, carry out the fine cartridge alignment and make it aligned.

I hope this solution helps you
Don't hesitate to let me know if you want any further assistance.
Thank you for using FixYa!

I would recommend cleaning the contacts with rubbing acohole and cuetips. There the small extruding bits of mettel behind the ink cartage.

To resolve the issue:

1. Make sure you install the correct type of KODAK Ink Cartridge for your printer. Currently we offer two types of ink cartridges (10 Series and 30 Series). Installing the wrong type of ink cartridge may result in this error. You will need to install a new, correct type of KODAK Ink Cartridge.
   NOTE: For more information, see Which ink cartridges to buy for all-in-one printer.
2. If you are using the correct type of KODAK Ink Cartridge, reinstall the color ink cartridge.
   1. Open the printer access door.
      NOTE: If the ink cartridges don't move to the center, see Printhead and ink cartridges don't move to center with access door open.
   2. Wait until the printhead is idle and silent, then pinch the latch on the color ink cartridge with your thumb and forefinger and lift it out of the printhead.
   3. Install the color ink cartridge back into the printer, making sure to press down on the thumb tab until it clicks into place.
   4. Close the printer access door. For printers with LCDs, follow the instructions on the LCD screen.
      For more information on installing ink cartridges, see the Extended User Guide for your printer. Review Maintaining Your Printer - Replacing ink cartridges.
3. If the error continues, restart your printer:
   1. Turn off the printer by pressing the power button.
   2. Wait five seconds.
   3. Turn on the printer.
4. If the error continues, and you have extra, new KODAK Ink Cartridges on-hand, try to install a new ink cartridge (or a set of new ink cartridges).
5. If the error continues, contact us.

When the issue is resolved, we highly recommend that you upgrade the firmware for your printer for optimum performance:

1. Locate and select the firmware for your printer.
2. Follow the instructions to install the firmware.

If you would like to save money, try refill kit by "ROADINK".
Not only they are easy, but also the printing quality is good.
For your better understanding pls check out my youtube video.
And will see how easy ink refill can be done.

I don't understand your question.

But I'll take a guess that you want to refill your cartridge's ink. Don't do that.


I have to ask this question of you, just to make sure this is not an issue. Are you using a factory new ink cartridge?
Please consider the following:
If you are using a refilled or third party cartridge that may well be your problem. Most manufacturers build logic into their products to prevent the use of “Other Equipment Manufactured” cartridges as well as re-filled cartridges.
They do this to prevent problems from contaminated inks causing problems with print quality or damaging the physical printhead.
If you are using factory new cartridges, then please call the manufacturers Technical Support for assistance with the warranty on the cartridges
