problem with logic card need to replace it will cost u 1200rs
give canon ppl

This is a carriage error.
1. Printhead is stuck to the docking area either because some old ink has become like glue.
2. A piece of paper got over there and is jamming it.
3. The spring is weak and is not pulling the docking area down.
4. The Purge unit has failed and needs to be replaced.
Turn the printer off and then slide the printhead to the left and use a flashlight to see if you see any paper stuck around where the two sponges that where sitting below the prinhead or if it just didn’t lower like it should have.

hello ! reinstall the machine fax and scanner program cd's may be the installation was not completed or is the machine having issues .

Is there a more permanent fix in the meantime? I'm just tired of fiddling each time that I use the ADF

Some sort of mechanical problem ?

Google the newsgroups with your error number (pity you didn't post it here :-) )

Im having this same problem and i dont know what to do either. Im calling canon in the morning at 8am to see what to do and i will write back to help you if it helps mine.

Print from Fax Memory on MP530

 

1- Press Fax,then Menu.

2- Press the Right Arrow Key to show 'Memory Reference' on the mini screen.Then press OK.

3 - Again use the arrow keys to show 'Print Document' on mini screen and press OK to print.

4- Once this has printed repeat the first 2 steps and on the 3rd step go to 'Delete Document' to allow you to print the next saved fax.

5- Repeat this till you have no more Fax's saved,then the light should go out in the top left corner.

 

Hope this helps.
