You need to lift the document cover, and you should see a small gray slide type switch on the top of the printer's scanner, near the front left corner of the glass. Slide the switch to the unlock position, close the document cover, then turn off the machine. Wait 5 seconds, then turn the machine back on. This should restore the scanner function.

Correcting B200 Error

1) The Support Code b200 is an error message that may arise with the text which states "Printer Error Occurred", or "Contact the Service Center".

2) You will receive this message on your printer due to an electronic problem which may arise in the ink cartridges.

3) Open the top cover of your printer. Discard all the cartridges. Get rid of the printhead by lifting the lever which is placed just near the cartridge cradle, then take the printhead from the printer.

4) Re-insert the printhead back into its correct position, and ensure to lock the lever. Insert all the cartridges into their correct position, and confirm that there is no open door.

5) Unplug your printer cord from the electricity board, and keep it unplugged for a few minutes.

6) Let the printer cool down. Plug the printer back again.

Scanner lock switch

Somewhere on the machine there is a lever that locks the scanner assembly in place for when it's transported. You need to look around all sides or under the top (when you raise it) you might find it along side of the glass.

Good luck!

Canon MPX850 has a line down the page when scanning...

This can be caused by dirt on the glass, as well as other things. Also, The fault can be with the scanner's imager strip, or the ribbon cable or
sockets from the imager to the circuit board may have a problem, or some
component(s) in the scanner circuits may have failed.

If the scanner is out of warrenty, and if it is not a very expensive
scanner, it may not be feasible to service.

Canon Pixma MX850 won't scan - says 'set the pc to start scan'

Do you have more than one PC connected to the scanner? I have both a PC and a Mac connected to it, and I think my scanner is trying to connect to the Mac, which requires image capture software to be installed, rather than the PC. Don't know how to tell it to go to the PC, though...

Canon Pixma MX850 says it's out of paper when there is paper

The feed switch changes the paper feed from rear feed to tray feed (paper tray is under the output bin). If you have paper in the rear feed, the green light should be on top of the printer icon left of the feed switch. If you have paper in the tray, the light should be on the bottom of the printer icon.

Canon MX850 printer - ADF copy has black line on it

Hello, my name is Steve,.
This is a common problem and an easy fix.
If you lift the ADF / top cover assembly up, you will see a small narrow piece of glass next to the flat-bed glass.

Ths is called a "Slit-glass". The only purpose is to read content from that point by the scanner, The Scanner will sit in the underside of it.

It is dirty. Wipe this with glass cleaner and a soft lint-free cloth. you may need to do this several times. Concentrate the part of the glass were this image problem is just by the orientation of the document you are installing with the direction of the document you are passing through the ADF.

It will take several attempts, but with each try, make a new test from the original document, unyil the problem disappears.

I believe this will solve your problem, Best , Steve
