MP80 Cnnon returns an error code of 6A00. What does that mean? Troubleshooting from PC returned an error of 5C10 and suggested ending the print job, turning off the printer, restarting printer. After that the printer still returned error code 6A00

regarding cannon printer mp830: how do I get to the printer carraige?

Hi
Error 6A00
The 6A00 is a Canon generic code for paper path jam.

Solution 1:
Move the printhead carriage back and forth a few times.

Solution 2:
Check the purge unit: Moving the print head assembly will not clear a purge unit if its jammed with paper, paper clips, push pins, screws, cookie crisp, flower bud pods or the like.

Solution 3:
Press the ink pads down in the purge unit.

6A00 is the error when the purge assembly is broken or jammed. You need a shop to install a new one since the entire print engine has to come out to replace it.

Have you tested all your cartridges to ensure that they are seated properly?

When the cartridge assembly is positioned for use, it's all the way to the right. If that assembly is out of the way, there's a spring-loaded cover underneath which can be slide aside, and you can take a paper towel and blot up extra ink in that area. That has solved the probelm for me many times.

The error seems to indicate a failed sheet feed, check the paper path to see for any stuck bits of paper, however I have heard that this can also be caused by a flaky sensor in the paper path.....

apparently the best way to deal with this is to turn it upside down and give it a shake.

hope this helps

i have canon xi 4000 and it has 5c10 fault and it wont print

I tried everything suggested on other posts (cleaning paper feeds and making sure rollers were free, moving carriage back and forth manually, etc)., but nothing worked. With it still plugged in, I turned the whole thing upside down and shook it. It hummed and buzzed, and moved the carriage a couple of times. Viola, problem solved. Go figure.
