My printer misfed a piece of paper - so it was tattered after coming through. It now no longer prints anything and only alarms with the error code 6A00. I can't copy or print. I pulled a small shred of paper out of the feeder but did not help.

Re: error code 6A00
It looks like it's a mechanical jam problem. If it is still under warranty, then I suggest you call canon and arrange with them to get it fixed or replaced ASAP.

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 AP position error.First, make sure there is no paper jam anywhere in the machine.. look inside, rear, where the paper tray (output) is, etc to see if you find any shreds or torn paper that may have gotten stuck and you didn't see.Look carefully in the zone of Purge unit, using flashlight in the right side on printer.If this not help your printer need service.

6a00 is a purge unit fault, It could be there is a bit of paper or something stuck in the purge, causing it not to move back and forward causing your fault.
be best to contact some one to repair the product.
