Resetting the waste ink absorber on a Canon printer can resolve some error codes that appear when turning it on.

Make sure the printer is turned off.
Press and hold the Resume button (triangle inside a circle).
Whilst it is held down, hold down the Power button. The green led light should come on.
Keep the Power button held down. Release the Resume button and then press it twice. The light should go amber, then green again.
Release the Power button.
Press the Resume button four times and then press the Power button straight after to confirm the selected action (Reset Counter Absorber).
Turn off the printer and then turn it on again

What to do with an ip4700 printer in case of 6c10 error?

https://www.justanswer.com/printers/7dmmq-fix-error-code-6c10-canon-ip4700-printer.html

Quoting from link above:

Remove the ink cartridges and then use a q-tip and some alcohol or warm water to clean the contacts on the cartridges and especially inside the carrier. When you have everything clean and dry put the cartridges back in making sure they fit tight and turn the printer on and see if the error clears now.

Printer Canon PM 990 does not print, but shows error code 6C10. What can I do?

Whenever your OKI Printer shows the OKI c5300 toner sensor error on the display screen, follow out the blog carefully. It contains all the needed information to help you rectify the error. You can also connect with OKI Printer Repair Services to get completely satisfactory results.

Whenever this error code appears, this most prime thing that you need to do is to check whether all the blue toner levers are firmly pushed towards the back or not.
As you are done with it, check the sensor. Ensure whether it needs to be cleaned or not. You can find the sensor at the back of the plastic cover on the side of the drum.
Use a small and lint-free cloth to clean the plastic cover and the silver arm.
The sensor will be a very fine powder and should also be easy to remove.
Make sure that the sensor lever on TS1 is pushed up or not.
Clean the arm properly. Also, check whether the sensor lever is pushed up as it needs to be or not.
It is not set properly; the machine will not pick up the sensor on the drum. Push the disc up to make this Oki Canon Printer Error Code 990
