I have the same model. The only thing that work was simultaneously holding down the HOME and STOP buttons for about 5 seconds. The blinking yellow light stopped and I was able to scan.
Pressing STOP and OK simultaneously worked for me.
I ran into the same problem with the PIXMA MP610 and unfortunately the only "solution" I found was to replace the empty ink cartridge. Which I agree makes no sense since I wasn't trying to print anything...
Hi,
I may need more information, but I have a printer/scanner and it will not allow me to scan if the catridges are not in the machine. Even if they are empty, I have to leave them in the printer in order to scan. I will still get the "low ink" warning, but it will allow me to scan documents. Yours is possibly the same. Sometimes you simply have to acknowledge "OK" so you can enter a different mode of the printer, so if you have not acknowledged to the machine that you understand the error message, this could be a reason you cannot scan. Try pressing the "OK", "enter" or the "yes" button, depending on what button configfuration your printer has.
Caution : Firmly raise the Print Head Lock Lever until it stops. (The Print Head Lock Lever may feel heavy.)
Note : If the Print Head Holder does not move, make sure that the machine is turned on.Caution : There may be some transparent or light blue ink on the inside of the bag the Print Head comes in, or the inside of the protective cap - this has no effect on print quality. Be careful not to get ink on yourself when handling these items. Be careful not to stain your hands.
Caution : Do not knock the Print Head against the sides of the Holder.
Caution : Do not hold the sides of the ink tank; ink may splash.
Caution :Be sure to install it in a well-lit environment
Important : Match the labels when installing.
Caution :Once you have installed the ink tanks, do not remove them unnecessarily.
Important : Make sure all the Ink lamp lights red.
