Error message appears at start up during 15% warm up. Control panel light flashes red & green system freezes.
Can you help ?.............Thanks
This is a wiper error. There is a wiper blade that cleans off the printhead and it is stalled. There might be something obstructing the blade itself ,wiper on the wiper belt incorrectly or a motor is having problems. I would recommend calling a certified service tech to fix it.
Hope this helps
If it worked before...suggest motor. Right side, simple R&R
The error is Data transmission error between the system control section and printer control section.
May be these are the problems: Look around it:::
>>Don't waste your time with Service Mode. All you need to do is take out the ink cartriges while computer is on (it will now start blinking cartrige jam) turn off printer & turn on again. Place cartriges back & press stop/reset button. Then turn off & turn on again and printer is back on line. No more flashing orange.
>>The data cable that attaches to the printer head is also attached to the back wall - make sure it is firmly attached and if not take it off and redo it/ Solved the error message instantly..
it is a communication problem between scnt system board and pcnt print control board. It can teardown and rebuild in 20 minutes. the waste ink tank is not a tank it is a strip of sponge material in the bottom of the printer. the printer calculates when it should be full based on how many print jobs vs your ink useage. the clear codes should have solved the problem on most printers. the part is listed as replaceable canon part #QA4-0662-000. the canon website has a phone number for replacement parts.
Hope this will solve your prblm
All the best
The following lists the chain of events that occur when you turn on a printer. You can follow this list as one means of determining if the printer is operating correctly. The exact chain of events depends upon the last power down condition and where the printer has last determined the printhead is positioned, this is stored in non-volatile RAM. The Checklist is the primary reference for troubleshooting power-up problems.
1. Power cord is plugged in and the power switch is turned on:
2. Power supply senses AC line voltage conditions (110 VAC or 220 VAC)
and enables DC voltages. If an overload occurs, the printer turns off the high voltage DC supplies, causing a "blink" effect on the Control Panel LEDs.
3. BIST test flashes the PE LED very briefly at a fast rate until the end of the
next test.
4. The Boot loader performs CPU initialization and RAM test. It then sends
the boot loader version to the serial port.
5. Power-On Self Test (POST) initializes the Control Panel. The Control
Panel LED turns red, green, orange, and then off. The Control Panel LCD then goes black and then clear. The POST version displays on the LCD
and waits two seconds. During this time the operator can press the Back
button to bypass the remaining POST test.
6. Low level Power-On Self Test (POST) diagnostics are performed. The
Control Panel displays status messages as each sub-test is performed.
This test takes about 8 seconds. All LEDs are off during the test.
If POST diagnostics pass, the Control Panel displays the Xerox logo and turns on the green LED.
If the test detects an error, the error message displays on the LCD and the printer flashes the LEDs with a repeating error code pattern.
7. The VxWorks operating system is initialized and engine code is started.
This takes about 15 seconds. The Xerox logo is displayed.
8. Print Engine Self Test (PEST) diagnostics are then performed. These test
the heaters, clutches, motors and solenoids. As each clutch is tested, you hear clicking with four high tones as each motor is tested. This test takes about 30 seconds.
9. The printer now runs the mechanical initialization. The exact sequence
depends on the initial position of the printhead and wiper assembly.

(Select) button to continue. (Select) button. (Select) button until the Ready, Data, and Attention lights flash once, and then stay on steady.
(Down Arrow) button once. The control panel will display COLD RESET. (Select). The printer will perform a cold reset and then continue its power-on sequence.840 views
