Paper output tray closed error message on a canon IP 6000D inkjet printer

Error Code: 1256 Cause: The paper output tray is closed or it has not opened.
Action: Confirm that there are no materials preventing the paper output tray from moving and that the paper cassette is inserted properly.
Open the paper output tray, then tap OK on the touch screen.

Important

• Do not close the paper output tray while the machine is in operation.

The Canon PIXMA iP4000 InkJet Printer has two paper sources for printing. Likely the top feeder tray is not completely closed (it is possible you do not have the printer set up to feed from both which may cause the error).

See the Quick Start Guide and the Picture Below:

Hi
This error maybe cause of two reasons:

1. The paper output tray is closed.Open it.
2. Paper jam.Turn the machine off and on.Look through the paper output tray for any stuck papers and gently pull them out.

Hope this helps.Thanks!

look for a small sensor on you right hand side. it tell the m/c if it is open or close. it migit be stuck.

Take a close look at the printer and the paper tray. The error usually means that the paper output tray is closed (or something is blocking it from opening). Remove the object blocking the paper tray and pull it fully open (including the extension). Then turn off the printer and turn it back on. The error can also occur when a book is being scanned that blocks the paper tray.

Some documentation on the Canon error messages for the MX860 is here: https://www.canon.ie/Support/Consumer_Products/products/Fax__Multifunctionals/InkJet/PIXMA_MX_series/PIXMA_MX860.aspx?faqtcmuri=tcm:24-644260&page=1&type=faq .

I hope this helps.

Hello,

the error message means there is something wrong with the printer and if the problem is not attended to, the error message will not go away.

In this case, the error message showing on your canon ip4300 is related to a door problem. It has something to do with the front door of your printer. I think the front door of your printer is closed of which is supposed to be opened.

So, the solution is to Open the paper output tray of your printer and the problem should be solved.

Good luck.

Try Closing and opening the paper output tray then press resume button on the printer while the printer is powered on,check the paper feeder ensure that there is nothing jamming up,if this doesn't work then let a canon technician have a look at it, the problem is minor.Hope you succeed
