This error shows up when the waste ink absorber is full or when the waste ink tank is nearly full. If you haven't tried the waste ink tank counter reset procedure, please follow the below steps:

1. While the printer is off
2. Press and hold resume Button (triangle in the circle) and tap the "Power" button. Green led should be on
3. While holding the Power button, release the Resume Button.
4. Without releasing the Power Button, click "Resume" button for two times and release Both Buttons.
5. Click "Resume" for four times then soon click "Power" button, to confirm the selected action (reset counter absorber).
6. Turn off the printer and turn on again.

Let me know if the problem persists.
Good Luck.

Hey you, I solved this problem by doing a "cleaning roller" (dont know if this is the right english term) for the paper cassett. You can do this via the settings -> maintenance menu of MP640. Best regards!

That error says that either something is jammed in the purge assembly, the unit on the right that cleans the printhead, or the purge assembly is stuck or broken. If you unplug the printer with the carriage in the center you can use a flashlight to inspect the area on the far right where the printhead parks.

Try keeping the paper only in the bottom tray (there's a tray in the bottom) Try pulling any paper out of the top and just close that top tray. Open up the head so that u can see the ink cartridges and turn the printer on and off and maybe it will center itself again. If it's still not working (even if lights aren't red and print head wont align in the center) try manually moving the head back and forth like 18 times so you can lubricate that rail in the back that's holding it. After that, re-turn it off and on again.
