Reseat (remove / reinstall) the ink cartridges if an error appears. Removing Ink Cartridges:

1. After confirming that the printer is powered on, open the scanning unit (printer cover). The ink cartridge holder moves to the replacement position.
   
   
   
   
2. Press down on the semi-circular tab to release the cartridge and then remove it.
   
   
   Note: Handle the ink cartridges carefully to avoid staining clothes and surrounding work area.
   
   
   
   
   
3. Remove and replace each cartridge individually. Or, remove the second cartridge after the first has been removed.
   
   Note: Do not touch the gold electrical contacts or the print head nozzles after removing the protective tape.
   
   

Installing ink cartridges:

1. After confirming that the printer is powered on, open the scanning unit (printer cover). The ink cartridge holder moves to the replacement position.
   
   Note: After confirming that the scanning unit support is fixed into position, release your hands.
   
   
   
   
   
2. Insert the ink cartridge into the ink cartridge holder.- Black: the left slot- Color: the right slot*
   
   *One black cartridge and one color cartridge must be installed in the machine in order for the printer to operate. It does not matter if the capacities (Standard or High) do not match.
   
   
3. Push up on the front of the cartridge until it locks into place. (A click sound will be heard when the cartridge is locked in place.)
   
   
   
   
4. Confirm that the ink cartridges are installed properly.
   
   
   
   
   <1> The ink cartridge is not installed properly.
   
   <2> The ink cartridge is installed properly.
   
   
5. Fold the scanning unit support and close the scanning unit (printer cover).
   
   
6. Wait until the preparatory operation is complete; it takes about one to two minutes.

bri082090,

This is a fairly simple procedure. You can go to the Canon wesite located here http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mp_series/pixma_mp180#DriversAndSoftware and select your operating system and then download and install the software on your computer. It may require a restart of the computer. I have a tip at http://www.fixya.com/support/r6370947-install_printer_without_install_cd which will walk you through the process.

Thanks for using FixYa and for the great rating and testimonial.

Hi Good day!! To Align read this

1. Raise the input tray, which you may fold over the top for compact storage. Lower the output tray at the bottom.


2. Slide the "paper-width guide" on the input tray to the left. This is the small, adjustable tab situated where you will place the stack of paper.


3. Load a small stack of paper into the input tray. Make sure short side is forward and the print side is up. For some paper, it makes no difference which side is up. Slide the stack down until it stops.


4. Slide the paper-width guide to the right, snug up against the stack of paper to ensure proper alignment.

Method 2:

1. click start
2. click printer and faxes
3. right click your installed printer and then properties
4. click printing preferences
5. click maintenance tab
there you should see alignment option click it

Hi,

Click this link to buy ink cartridge for CANON PIXMA MP620B


Thanks..!!

Sometimes, we manually need to clean the waste ink absorber, means you need to remove them and wash them... Follow the steps :
1. Open the top of the Printer and look inside.
2. Locate the waste ink absorber pads. These are at the bottom right inside your printer.
3. Put on the gloves. Now remove the waste ink absorber pads and holder from the printer by gently lifting them out. It feels like they snap out, so do not be afraid to tug gently to remove them.
4. Clean the waste ink absorber by soaking up the ink with a tissue or wipe. Set the waste ink absorber on some newspaper to avoid ink spills.
5. Go back to the Canon printer, and view the other waste ink absorber. This is also on the right-hand bottom in the back of the printer. This one has screws to remove and comes out with a plastic piece.
6. Wash the sponge with clear water. Allow it to dry completely. This may take at least a day. When it is completely dry, reassemble.
7. Replace the waste ink absorber pads and sponge. Connect the printer to the power source.

Good luck.

If you need further help, let me know.

Yes.The Canon MP250 is packed with great features so it should be considered as a good deal.

If they are refilled cartridges, the refiller didn't reset the ink counter.
Go here:

The software tool allows you to reset ink counters, waste ink, etc.

Error 5100 is a carriage error. There is a plastic strip that goes through the carriage, if that strip is dirty, damaged, or has come loose, that will cause the problem.

Power off, check the strip, use a barely damp qtip to very gently clean it, and try power on again.

If you still have the error, it is probably mechanical, and could be any number of things, none of which are easy (or clean) to fix.
