Top 10 Canon PIXMA MP460 All-In-One InkJet Printer Questions & Answers

solucion a email [email protected] the error 5010

You may need to install a new print head. it is very easy to do yourself (basically the same steps you used to install it when you bought the printer- you can also find step-by-step instructions with pictures on cannons support website http://www.usa.canon.com/opd/controller?act=OPDSupportDropDownAct) What has probably happened is that dried ink has accumulated on the print head and clogged it. the "clean print head" option on the printer is a maintenance function that should be performed regulary to prevent a clog; it is not effective at clearing an already clogged print head.

Hello,

You should be able to find out what you need by going to the product's website:
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=SupportDetailTabAct&fcategoryid=238&modelid=13369#DownloadDetailAct

Click on the "Drivers & Downloads" tab able halfway down the page. Click on the "User's Guide" link to open the guide. Looks like scanning information begins on page 58.

Hope this helps! : )

Check the Label on the cartridge if it covers a certain area then you will get an error message. Compare it with a good cartridge the label should nearly touch the lugs at top end. Only applies to refilled Carts.

This can be fixed at home. It's a design flaw that locates a little paddle right on the edge of an infared light beam when the paddle is resting where it should be when no paper is in the printer. If they had extended this black plastic paddle ever so slightly toward the front of the printer, it would surely interrupt the beam as it is supposed to do. Raise the platten section as if you were going to change the ink cartridges. Locate the white plastic plate with 8 little white rollers along its front edge. About 1.5" from the right edge of this plate is slot about .25" wide, just under a metal bar going across the printer. Down in this slot is a little black plastic finger that gets lifted up when a piece of paper goes through. This little finger is the lower end of the paddle above. Poke gently on this little finger with a little stick or dowel rod. Make sure there's no paper under it. Put the lid down and try it. If still giving the paper jam error, you'll have to take the whole blooming cover off to get to the paddle. I put a piece of black electrician's tape over the paddle to extend it forward to be sure to interrupt the beam. The key to opening the cover is to start with the gray plastic pieces on each side. They move down toward the floor about 1/8" to come off. Be gentle. Try never to tip the printer on its side ink will run and make a mess. I highly recommend a pair of rubber gloves once inside -my fingers got green ink on them and it doesn't come off. Good luck.

The error code refers to Ink Cartridge

Issue: ERROR: Error code 5100 appears on the computer screen
Issue: ERROR LED: E, 2, 2

1. Disconnect and reconnect power cord to reset the device
2. Remove Packing Material MP160 / MP180 / MP460
3. Reseat ink cartridge (MP160 / MP180 / MP460)

1. First, try turning printer off and on.

2. Next, on the computer side, this is how you manually clear the printer queue.

1. Go to Start, Control Panel and Administrative Tools. Double click on Services icon.
2. Scroll down to the Print Spooler service and right click on itand select Stop. In order to do this, you need to be logged in asAdministrator. At this point, no one will be able to print anything onany of the printers that are being hosted on this server.
3. Next you need to go to the following directory: C:WINDOWSSystem32spoolPRINTERS.Delete all the files in this folder. This will clear all print queues(it’s a good idea to first make sure there are no other print jobsbeing processed on any of the other printers on the server becausedoing this step will delete those jobs also)
4. Now you can go back to the Services console and right-click and choose Start for the Print Spooler service!
You can also go to a command prompt and type net stop spooler or net start spooler to start and stop the service.

I hope this helps. If you have more questions, let me know.

Try:

• ERROR LCD: The paper is jammed. Clear the paper and press [OK].
• ERROR LCD: Rear Cover The paper is jammed. Clear the paper and press [OK].

Hi there!You printer does not have an automatic duplex(double-sided printing)so you have to make a manual double-sided printing.When you start to print something , in the widow of the printer click on the preferences and look for the option "Print on both sides" or "Manual double-sided printing".When you start the printing the printer will print page page 1,3,5,7..... on the one side of the paper.After the printer finish you have to take the papers and put them back in the printer with the other side of the paper.Then the printer will start print page2,4,6,8,.....If you need any other help please replay!Tghaky for using Fixya!!

After searching the net for help and trying many things like unpluging the printer, taking out the ink cartridges, blowing and hooving the printer etc etc and still not having any luck. I tried something myself and it worked.

This is what I did:-

I got several sheets of A4 paper and forced them into the printer just enough to get the rollers to bite. (Printer is off at this stage) Once the paper is in I turned the printer back on and the printer pulled the paper through and out of the front clearing the problem.

Well this worked for and I hope it helps someone else.
