Installed cartridges and "alarm" button is lit.

the guy pushed a button under my dash turned the key and car started

you need to know where that push button is under the dash

if you cant find it your self ... ring the place back for instructions

not nice but
you may have to get them to call out and show you or
tow the car back to where you got the battery fitted

on the front of the printer there is s stop/rest button hold down that for 20 sec that should over ride the empty message

r u sure new cartridge is not refilled one?

E5 error means cartridges are not readable.

When you refill your canon cartridge, especially for color one, it happens. (after 4~5 times of refills)

So you have to replace the cartridge with brand new one.

(for your additional reference, it doesn't happen to black cartridge)

So at least you can refill black...

If you would like to save money, try nozzle injection 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.">

Error Message: Check Ink U051

This message appears when the cartridge not installed, not properly installed, or non supported cartridge is installed.
As a result the printer cannot recognized the installed cartridge.

Remedial action:

* Reinstall the cartridge properly
* Ensure that you installed supported cartridge only
* Replace the cartridge

You may need a new cartridge, that error says the ink cartridge is wrong or not installed properly. If it's a refilled cartridge it won't work, if it's a new canon cartridge, they warranty for 30 days from date of purchase.

Replace the ink
cartridge(s), or press the
OK button.
When selecting to press
the OK button, ink may
run out during printing.

Because I was getting gray shading on my pages and data was still being printing, I decided to change the toner cartridge. Now the pages are clean and white and all the lights function properly. Most cartridges that are running on empty don't print any data at all or at least print the data at the top of the page and gradually gets fainter sp? on the page. Who would have thought just by changing the cartridge would solve the problem? So glad that's all it was........wasn't excited about having to buy a new printer.

More than one ink cartridage of the same color installed? Are the cartridges made by CANON ?  

you have to change the ink cartridges
