Fix Error Code 6000 and C000 on Canon printer

When there is an error code 6000 or C000 on a Canon printer, do not rush to go through the reset or any magic "press button" things. Even if you clear the message, the problem won't go away and the message will reappear. The message 6000 and C000 refer to an obstruction in the printer. Usually something on the way of the carriage unit. It can be a dirty timing strip which needs a cleaning, but most of the times it will just be a pieced of a ripped paper or any other object inside the printer. The tricky part is that it will usually be at one or the other end of the printer. Take yuur flashlight or flashlight app on your phone and shine some light inside your printer. I almost guarantee you that you will find something!
This will apply to all Canon pixma Inkjet printers!
Some are MX922, MX925, MX927, MX928, MG5320, MG5220, MX452, MX870, MX712, MX722, MX892, MX882, MX860, MP620, MP620B, MP630, MP640, MP600, MP800, MP610, MP810, MX950, MG5420, IP7220, IP3000, IP4000, IP4200, IP4300, MX830, MP830, MX452, MX472, MX432, MX452, IP2920, MG5220, MG5120, and many other models.

My Pixma ip8760 experieced a paper jam this morning. Now I get a C000 error code

I moved you to CANON
all printers do that, they love to jam that is there (THING) there bailiwick.
paper dust and chunks land in places not allowed to be there
but guide jams or optical sensors blocked even with paper dust.
If you ask a printer tech this, (mobile) what do the do most the time
they do cleaning endless.
I use shop air here and blow them all out clean as new.
also cleaning up ink smears. using IPA
or use CON_O_AIR , and blow it out.

wash wear clog and repeat. endless printer woe's.

how long did the printer run days,year? before now.????
history matters. (new out of the box?) and this good example.

Click service and support, then enter error 6000, then click Error LCD ... 6000..., then click Removing paper jams mp600. Sorry, but they use javascript so I can't give you a more direct link.

I have a canon mini260 and its giving me an error 6000

Other than doing a reset, unfortunately your Canon may require repair. By resetting the power, you clear the print buffer and reset certain sensors which may be producing the error.

1) Turn off with power button
2) Unplug data cable
3) Unplug power cord for 10 minutes

Plug power cord back in, reattach the printer data cable and press the power button.

I hope this helps!
