Hi,

You need to load the PRINTED ALIGNMENT PAGE on the scanner glass, then press on "OK" button. It should start scanning the alignment page. That way, you are completing the PROCESS of ALIGNMENT.

Thank you so much.

I had the same problem and spoke to canon australia technician. Any 4 number code means it is a servicable error. 6500 code specifically says take to a service centre...
bugger....but thats what they told me...

Check the paper size in printers properties, it may have altered. If not disconnect printer, remove printer driver from add/remove programmes. Re install driver and reconnect printer when prompted. It should now be ok
