- Error 6A80 on Canon MX700 all in one. I have checked and removed all traces of paper jam. I have disconnected both the power and ethernet cables and waited over night to no avail. Is this error correctable in a home setting or is it ready for servicing? In my case technical servicing is 100 miles away.

- Where is the purge unit located? I can see no bits of paper anywhere either from the back of the machine nor from the front.

Canon MX700 Office All-In-One InkJet Printer : Error Code 6A80
There is an error showing "Error Code 6A80" and tells me to turn it off then on. It's still showing the error message?

Solution:
The error code means that a part of paper was ripped inside after a paper jam issue, or there is a foreign object stuck inside the printer.

If the error still shows after checking inside the unit for any obstruction or objects, the unit requires service.

Hope helped.

- If the device is not functioning properly or to clear memory, reset it:

1. On the operator panel, press and hold the <ON/OFF> button for one second. (The display will go blank.)
Note: It may be necessary to unplug the power cord if pressing the ON/OFF button does not shut off the printer.

2. Wait approximately ten seconds and then press the <ON/OFF> button again.

3. Wait until the device has completed its cycling process before submitting another job request.

Good luck.

- Also check the sheet feeder and purge unit; 6A80 error is an APP position error. It means that an error has occured when the motor was running during the purging operation on start up, sometimes pieces of paper stuck in purge unit.

- For lokk the purge unit, you need using flashlight in the right side on printer. Check the sheet feeder. If this not help your printer need service.

- Usualy is the purge unit that clean up the print head, and it's located inside on the right side (printhead parking place).

Take a torch, lift up the scanner unit, with the unit ON, wait for the print head to come in the middle, move it to left to make more room, and check the right side, inside the unit.
